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.

The numbers for kids sizes change. The “Kids 12” is the smallest size, followed by Kids 13, then Youth 1-4.

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.

Please go to Xero Shoes Return Policy page to learn about our 45-day return policy.

His Fast Shoes ⚡️

We bought a new pair of Xeros for the 3 of us, and my 4 year old got the kids Prio in blue and black. He put tried them on while gearing up for bed and ran around the house saying they were his fast shoes. He's stoked about them! They will serve him well for biking and running around. I have a pair of Prios as well, my introduction to Xero Shoes, and they are my favorite sneakers. I've had them for two years, worn them a lot running, biking, and skateboarding, and they are still holding up well. I do though look forward to my next pair of Xero sneakers!

My daughters perspective.

My daughter likes them. She likes that she can feel the floor when she walks. She says they feel a little tight in the back of her foot but that might be because she hasn’t worn them much

Youth Prio much narrower than Kids Prio

My daughter has been wearing kids prios for a couple of years. She loves them. They are her ‘fast shoes’. When she sized up to the youth size, however, they no longer fit her foot. Comparing the kids prio shoes to the youth prio, the youth prio is much narrower in the toe box and along the whole shoe, even though the youth size is larger in length. It is so disappointing as the prio was our go to shoe and now they no longer fit her feet.

The perfect shoe

We love these shoes. Our daughter has a disability and she has a bunion on one foot. We have a difficult time finding shoes that fit her and that are comfortable and stylish. These are perfect!
