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.

Caring for your Xero Shoes

To clean your Xero Shoes, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting them in the washing machine or dryer.

FAQs

We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

After you purchase a gift certificate, you’ll be able to enter an email address for the recipient.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

One happy kid and one with sensory issues.

I bought these for 2 of my boys. One of them loves the shoes. The other one has sensory issues and was complaining so much about them not feeling right I almost sent them back, but he didn’t want me to. So he still wears them even though he doesn’t love the way it feels. They seem like very good quality shoes though so I am happy with them. They are not as flexible as some zero shoes but that may be good for kids who are running around a lot.

Great shoes terrible laces

My 9yr old son loves this flexible shoe. He says they are even more comfy than the merrels he had and destroyed. The only issue is the laces were terrible for kids, they came undone despite multiple knots tied by parents several times a day and then they frayed into puffs at the end. We ended up buying more kid appropriate laces ( that don’t tie) on Amazon and now we are less stressed about a tripping kid and he is enjoying the shoes. $12 laces worth it but wish the company just considered the very active kid.

Kid favorite

The fit is perfect, plenty of toe space with secure enough fit elsewhere and my child is happy with it. We are definitely a Xero shoes family. I was grateful that Xero expanded their lines to cover my younger children to get them started right. For years it’s been hard to find a minimalist kids shoe that didn’t look hideous. Here’s hoping that they expand their line further to cover younger children. The Prio continues to be a good go-to model for all ages.
