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. I bought these for my grandson and he loves them! 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. 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.Why you’ll love Prio Youth

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.

Fit is great for my 7.5 year old
I love these shoes for my son. I love that the laces are in perfect proportion to the size of the shoe and once tied don’t leave a ton of string hanging to be dragged on the floor or tripped on. I also like the wide toe box for him and the zero drop. I feel like he feels more confident running and playing in them.
I pair them for my kid with caterpy laces and naboso insoles
He loves them. Runs fast
Entire sole fell off within a few months
The smooth fabric used in this shoe is not durable and started peeling. The sole is glued to this fabric so when it peeled off, the entire front half of the sole peeled away. My son came home from school with his sole flapping. That said, it was also obvious the sole was not directly glued to the bottom of the shoe, only the edges. Very disappointed and will be taking them back to REI, where i purchased them.
