Xero Prio Sneaker - Men's Black/White, 9.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've worn the Prio on trail runs, through airport terminals, and straight into the gym without changing shoes. The Huarache-inspired heel and instep straps sound like a quirky detail until you realize how secure your foot feels without any toe restriction. The removable insole is a nice touch—pull it out when you want more ground feel, leave it in when your feet need a break.""Most training shoes are designed around foot support—built-in arch correction, elevated heels, rigid toe boxes. The Prio from Xero Shoes takes the opposite approach, engineering the shoe around what the foot does naturally when it's unencumbered. The result is a platform that works across running, gym training, and daily use without requiring a dedicated pair for each. The foot-shaped toe box gives your toes actual room to work, the zero-drop heel keeps your posture honest, and the FeelTrue rubber sole offers enough protection that you're covered without losing the ground feedback that keeps your stride efficient. The reflective Huarache-inspired heel and instep straps hold your foot in place without clamping your forefoot, so natural toe splay stays intact. The removable 3mm insole lets you dial in exactly how much ground feel you want on any given day. At under nine ounces, the Prio earns its reputation as the shoe you reach for first and take off last."
