Q: How do the straps work in the Prio?

All the straps -- the heel and instep -- are adjustable for a secure, comfy fit. To use the instep straps, simply tighten or loosen them with the tension of the lace that goes through them. For the heel strap, it's best to adjust it by gently sliding it through the "wing" in the sole rather than yanking on it.

“My son takes ninja warrior classes and these shoes are perfect for the balance and traction needed to succeed. He’s tried other types of sneakers, but the Prios blew them all away.” – Jay L.

Why you’ll love Prio for kids.

PRIO – One of our most iconic shoes, now designed for kids.

Now Xero Shoes are ready for you for KIDS! You probably know how important it is to let your kids’ feet develop and function naturally — letting their toes spread, and their feet bend, flex, move, and Feel the World!®

That’s why we’re thrilled to release the Kid’s version of our best-selling Prio barefoot/minimalist shoe for everything they love to do.

"These shoes hold up to my boys rough and tumble days! My son has low arches and these help him so much more than those cushion shoes that actually hurt his feet. We will definitely be getting these again as my son's feet grows."
Julie B. USA, Verified Prio Kids Customer

See why real customers love Prio for kids.

Are they awesome? Yeah!

They look great!

We love our Prios!

I just really like them!

I can feel the terrain!

Kid-specific design.

The Kids’ Prio has everything you love about the adult version, plus we’ve made a few changes, just for them:

More grip!

We spaced out the lugs and made them bigger on the FeelTrue® soles to give them better traction.

Ergonomic fit

We didn’t just shrink the adult Prio, we changed the shape for a better fit.

Just-right feedback

We also thinned out the sole a little bit to make it extra flexible, and give kids the right amount of ground-feel and protection.

Unisex fit

Don’t worry about boys vs. girls, the Kids Prio is made for both.

All the best things about Prio.

Light and comfortable.

Your kids might even forget they're wearing them. The huarache-sandal inspired strap helps secure the heel. The "inverted V" adjustable instep straps aren't sewn down so you can lock in the instep while keeping toes free to move. The middle strip in the heel and instep straps are highly reflective for evenings and night. Barefoot friendly: wear with or without socks.

Made to Last.

Like all our FeelTrue® soles, the Prio is backed by our 5,000-mile sole warranty.* 100% Vegan-friendly materials -- no animal products are used in the Prio. *5,000 mile sole warranty is non-transferable and only valid for the original purchaser of the shoes.

Fit. Motion. Feel.

Natural FIT -- A wide toe box lets your toes spread and relax. Plus the "XERO-drop" sole (non-elevated heel and low-to-the-ground) allows for proper posture, balance, and agility. Natural MOTION -- The Prio is flexible enough to let little feet bend, move, and flex the way, well, that feet are supposed to. Natural FEEL -- Remove the 3mm insole for a more "barefoot feel," or keep it in for a bit more protection.

We recommend ordering your usual size

Based on statistics from the thousands of pairs of shoes sold across the world, we recommend ordering your usual size.

Free Exchanges!

Worried about your kids outgrowing the Prio?

We know that kids grow, and we’re not fans of buying shoes that “they’ll grow into.” To help out if your kids get too big for their Prio, we’ve created a Facebook Group where you can trade/swap/buy/sell your shoes and pass your still-wearable pair to someone who still fits your size, and find a pair for the next perfect fit. (Note: The FB group is for use at your own discretion. The deals you make are up to you. Look at the FAQs below for more info.)

Caring for your Xero Shoes

FAQs

Kids Prio

What can my kids do in these shoes?

The Prio is an “all-around” shoe. It’s good for walking, running, hiking, playing, climbing… you name it.

Should my children wear these with or without socks?

That’s totally up to you (or them).

The Prio is made so it can be worn with or without socks.

How do I pick the right size?

The Kids Prio is “true to size,” so select the typical size for your child.

Now, that said, sizing is not a science, there’s a lot of personal preference involved… Three people with identical feet will have three opinions about how the same shoe fits 😉

If the size you get doesn’t fit, take advantage of our exchange policy. See https://www.xeroshoes.co.uk/returns/ for details.

How do the straps work in the Prio?

All the straps — the heel and instep — are adjustable for a secure, comfy fit.

To use the instep straps, simply tighten or loosen them with the tension of the lace that goes through them.

For the heel strap, it’s best to adjust it by gently sliding it through the “wing” in the sole rather than yanking on it.

Are these waterproof?

The Kids Prio isn’t waterproof. But the breathable mesh should dry quickly.

If my child outgrows these, then what?

We know that children have a habit of growing.

We’ve created a Facebook group where you can find other “Prio parents” with who you can trade/swap/sell/buy. Click Here to see it (opens a new tab in your browser)

Note: We don’t manage the FB group. The participants in the group are responsible for managing all transactions.

Great shoes, with one exception

Got these for my 5 year old and he loves them! At least, he loves them once he can get into them. I'd give these 5 stars, but the small tongue makes them hard for a kid to pull them on. We tried both the original laces and "no-tie" laces. Neither worked that well since the tongue is so small, it dips lower than the top laces and slides down when he tries to put his foot in. I think if the tongue piece was longer and he was able to grip it to pull the shoe on his foot, these would be unbeatable.

Great for my developing child

My 11 year old daughter loves these and is using them for everyday use. She is also doing sprinting and 1 mile runs for her school team. I am hopeful they will encourage her to run with mid-foot to forefoot striking to create proper overall running form and prevent injuries.

Love xero shoes

I have had 2 pairs of xero shoes for a while now and absolutely love them! I love the toe box and love feeling the ground beneath my feet. Although when it comes to kids I wish you offered more sizes with the variety of colors available. This particular order didn't fit my son's feet they where too small and the only versions of this shoe available in his size where lavender and such. Great shoes and I'm happy to continue to support xero shoes, I only hope more sizes with what is available especially for kids will continue to grow with the coming years!
