Zero shoes

Sandy, 6 March 2023

Thought I would try zero shoes as have heard so much about them. I have Vivo Barefoot Shoes, Vibram and now Zero. I find Zero are bulkier and more cushioned compared to Vivo. I am glad I have them but like the slimline no excess padding of the vivo. You can't feel the ground that well this shoe would be a good shoe for starting out transitioning to barefoot shoes rather than someone who has already transitioned.

The concept works

Earl, 25 March 2021

What can I say, i didn't buy for looks, I didn't buy for price, I bought them because they are the only shoe that ever fixed my plantar fasciiatis, relieved most of my back pain and feels so good walking in them.

Brilliant for a comfortably daily casual

Zac, 13 July 2020

These Prio's feel like slippers. Very durable. Even when damp. The sole takes a bit of getting used to. You feel every part of the surface, but once you wear them in, going over rocks and sharp areas isn't an issue. You can adjust the laces for a better / firmer fit. The wide toe is brilliant and roomy without feeling like your foot is floating around. Great arch and heal support. The look is good. I chose the Black with white stripes. Goes well with any casual clothing.

not sure yet

not impressed with my first pair they fell apart underneath after 4 months - so giving it one more go but choosing not to use them when there is due - great if you are not on wet terrains

Response from Wildfire Team

Thanks for reviewing, and sorry to hear about your last pair! I've contacted you with details for starting a warranty claim, as your shoes definitely should not have fallen apart in 4 months. Please respond to that email with more details so we can arrange the warranty claim for you.

Comfy shoes with wide toe box

Richard, 30 May 2018

Well designed shoes, with a nice wide toe box, the additional 2mm insole makes it more comfortable to run on the road. Went with the $10 'try 2 sizes' and was worth it as I had to go half a size up.

Review wildfiresports and xero prio

Rutger, 5 March 2018

First I want to thank wildfiresports, when I ordered I wasn't sure which delivery method would be faster so they upgrade my delivery to "express",this resulted in a very fast delivery. And I'm very happy with that because I'm leaving the country soon. Finally about the shoes, I've done a lot of research before I bought new shoes. I live a pretty minimalist lifestyle as I'm a constant traveller, so I only own 1 pair of shoes. My previous pair of shoes were la sportiva helios which are great, very comfy, light and minimalist. Only the design is not perfect for casual wear and going out. The helios is totally finished now and my next pair of shoes had to be something minimal, durable, comfortable and good looking enough for normal wear. I already had my eyes on the prios for a while but the colors didn't make me buy them. Now finally a black version! I had to buy them and they were in sale here at wildfiresports. Received the shoes in perfect condition, the black color makes it possible to wear them in many occasions. I think the shoes are pretty good looking and wearable in many occasions. The black has some very minimal pattern on it, you can see it when you look closely, very nice touch. Shoes were in good condition except inside 1 shoe there seems to be a gap between the stitching and you can see the glue, but I don't think this is gonna cause any problems. The 5000 mile warranty for the sole is very nice but I think only useful for their sandals, because most shoes the stitching or upper material will come apart before the sole is finished. I can not comment on the durability yet because I've just been wearing them for a few hours, but I've read a few reviews where the sole came loose and stitching came apart, but most reviews are very positive about the durability. Wearing them for the first time, they are very comfortable and roomy, I have narrow feet so they might be more roomy for me. I tried them without the inserts they come with and without socks and it's still very comfy and really minimal, you can feel the ground! Not sure if I'm gonna keep going barefoot in them, because it will cause some odor. And I'm gonna keep the inserts for now, because I read it can be useful for colder weather. Very glad the size turned out to be perfect. I used the euro to us conversion chart on the xero website. I'm a 46 EU and this is a 13 US on the chart. And it's a perfect fit, but on the box and the label inside the shoe the EU size is a 47.5, way bigger than my usual size! They did a good job with their conversion chart. But I think normally with US sizes you will have to size up. Before you buy this shoes, make sure you now what you are getting. These are very minimal with 0mm drop and a very barefoot feeling. When you are used to heavily padded shoes you might not like this.

Fit Tips: I'm used to "EU" sizes and I used the conversion chart from xero and choose my normal size in EU. This was for me a perfect fit.
