Yeah I wore mine for everything for 2 years. Daily wear. Work. Running. Weight lifting. Plyometrics. Everything. They were great. Now that I'm building to a marathon, I'm rotating more shoes a bit more.
I love my Prio’s. They’re my go-to shoes for daily wear. The outsole near the heels only lasted for about 800 miles so I put some shoe goo in that spot…easy fix. Very comfy, I’ve got these in rotation with 5 other barefoot shoes. Good value, would definitely get another pair.
Good advice on the shoe sizing and small break in - a little snug is normal they will break in! Do you think these prios are going away to be replaced by the prio neos? Have you tried them compared to the normal prios?
Thank you for the great review. I'm wearing some right now and looking up video reviews to help decide on the size. Your tip about the toe box stretching is good to hear as I have the length right but my pinkie and adjacent toe feel a little too cramped for a "barefoot shoe" - first time trying barefoot shoes too by the way. Thanks again for the detailed review!
Great review. Prios are my favorite road shoe! I usually put more than 2,000 miles on a pair before I retire them. And you can even use them on most central Florida trails.
Have you only used Prio or have you tried some of their trail specific shoes? It's good to hear they lasted up to 2k miles, how did the upper hold up through all that?
Mostly Prios for running and all-black Hanas for my casual work environment. I do have a pair of Mesa Trail from 2020 that I use occasionally on trail (for better grip, if there’s going to be any ups and downs), but I’ve only put 189 miles on those. I also have several pairs of Venture sandals that I use for shorter road runs (< 10miles). I even still have several pairs of DIY sandals from Invisible Shoes, from back in the day, before they were called Xero Shoes. I did have a pair of Z-Trail sandals from 2016, but I wasn’t a fan of the early model of those. The uppers on the Prios have held up well for me through 2k miles. Biggest problem for me with some of the earlier models is the sole at the toes starts to separate from the shoe. But, if that happens, I just apply some Gorilla Glue on the outer edges to secure it back in place.
Nice video, I'm waiting on my 1st pair of Prios right now. A slight critique, if I may - you mention lock laces and how much you like them, but fail to mention which ones you use or provide any link for those. It would have been helpful. This way, people who have or are getting these shoes can actually get the perfect-sized lock laces for their shoe. Otherwise, nice job.
Do you use any of the other Xero shoe models? Any others that you would recommend for more specific trail running activities that fit and feel as good as the Prio’s?

Didn't know Ben Stiller reviewed shoes.

Thanks for the detailed review. Really helpful in making my decision whether to buy

Do you use any of the other Xero shoe models? Any others that you would recommend for more specific trail running activities that fit and feel as good as the Prio’s?
Which lock laces do you recommend?
No heel pain from lack of cushion? I'm totally new to minimalist shoes.
how do i get the lock laces? nice review!
Amazon
I love all minimalistic shoes to hike or run. But it's not so easy to get a pair in my shoe size. That is sad
So how do you outfit shoes with lock laces? Does Xero Shoe do it for you?
