Why You’ll Love PRIO YOUTH

Prio Youth – Natural Movement for Growing Feet

Kids already know how to move naturally. They run, jump, and play without a second thought — often barefoot. The Prio Youth gives your child’s feet just the right amount of protection without hindering their natural movement.

The Prio Youth have all the advantages of the Xero Shoes DNA, along with a few extras. They’re built with added traction and an ergonomic fit tailored for children’s feet.

Shoes That Can Keep Up

Kids play hard. They climb things, play games, run when they could walk. In other words, they give their shoes a workout. The Prio Youth are built to last and backed by our 5,000 Mile Sole Warranty.

Xero Shoes DNA

A wider, foot-shaped toe box lets your child’s toes spread for balance. The zero-drop sole allows for proper posture and agility. These shoes let little feet bend and flex the way nature intended.

Lightweight

The Prio Youth is lightweight, weighing just 179 g per size 34 shoe. So light, your child might forget they have them on.

Secure Fit

Whether your kid is climbing the school jungle gym, playing a fast-paced game of tag, or running in an impromptu foot race, the Prio’s instep and midfoot tension straps will maintain a secure fit.

Great shoes, could be without laces.

My son loved the shoes. But I had to change the laces. My son is small and doesn't know how to tie his shoelaces yet. Xero should make the trainers with elastics or Velcro so that the children can put them on and take them off by themselves.

I like

Bought them for my Son, as I myself am a fan of Xero shoes. They appeal the usual good quality to me and they are fit for sporty and other activities. In my experience it’s better to buy one ore two sizes higher than other barefoot shoes. My son has got a 30 in them, in xero the right size was 32 for him now. One thing I don’t find quite perfect is, that they could be overall a bit wider for broader feed. Maybe xero could think of a bit off difference in between models? But generally very good product, definitely recommended 🙂

Ok but not overly impressed

The fit is narrower and the toe box rounder than I expected having already bought 3 adult Xero shoes. In my opinion overall too tight fitting for the soft feet of a growing child. The toe tip covering peeled on the first day of use. Now this may be my son's fault but honestly my 4 yr old is "medium" rowdy and these are children's shoes. I would suggest looking into stronger materials for the toe tip and heel
