Xero Prio Athletic Shoe Youth Sizing

You know how important it is to let your kids’ feet develop and function naturally — letting their toes spread, and their feet bend, flex and move.

Now kids can enjoy everything we love about the adult version, plus Xero has made a few changes, just for them:

The Kids’ Prio has 

• More grip! They spaced out the lugs and made them bigger on the FeelTrue® soles to give them better traction.
• Ergonomic fit They didn’t just shrink the adult Prio, they changed the shape for a better fit for kid's feet.
• Just-right feedback They also thinned out the sole a little bit to make it extra flexible, 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.

Of course, they’ve kept all the best things about the Prio:

• 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
• Lightweight — Your kids might even forget they’re wearing them
• Natural FEEL — Remove the 2mm insole for a more “barefoot feel,” or keep it in for a bit more protection
• 100% Vegan-friendly materials — No animal products are used in the Prio
• Huarache-inspired design — The huarache-sandal inspired strap helps secure the heel
• Adjustable instep strap — Use the “inverted V” straps aren’t sewn down to lock in the instep while keeping toes free to move
• Reflective straps — The middle strip in the heel and instep straps are highly reflective for evenings and night
• Barefoot-friendly — Wear the Prio with or without socks
• 5,000-mile sole warranty — like all our FeelTrue® soles, the Prio is backed by Xero's 5,000-mile sole warranty*

A note about sizing
