Took a little while to find my size... go with your Prio size or half size up. But once I found a comfortable fit everything was great! I have been wearing these boots almost everyday for a couple of months now. I wore them while adventuring through the snow storm in PNW and my feet stayed warm and dry for 4-5 hours (with two pairs of wool socks)! The brown color has faded a bit... but I have put a lot of wear into them (muddy hikes, snowy treks, etc... so nbd). I have continued to wear them everyday as the weather has warmed up and they are still my most comfy shoe. A great year-round boot for sure!

I absolutely love these xero shoes and all of the xero shoes I have bought. I just wish for one thing... to have a leather or leather like upper of the shoe and maybe a non-slip sole. I really want to wear these shoes to work but my shoes need to meet that certain criteria. But when I am not at work all I wear is xero shoes!!!

I like them. I do wish they came in leather.
They look great and are comfortable I have seen real wear on them yet but I have a habit of going through minimalist foot wear fairly quickly hoping they hold up and Ill finely settle on a go to. I went through the Daylite in 6 months.

Great light winter shoes. I needed something that was less cumbersome than my winter boots and these were it! There’s no break in period, so it was comfortable right out of the box. My only gripe with it is that the canvas material attracts lint and white hair easily. Otherwise, great shoes!

Canvas upper to strong enough to last a season in Seattle. I felt like my toe nail was going to peirce to top of the shoe at some point.

Like the thought that went into these shoes. Warm, water resistant, lightweight, and flexible sole. You can actually feel the ground when wearing these! For how light they are, its weirdly difficult to lace them up snugly. I wore these in -20 weather, and they kept my feet reasonably comfortable. In 60 degrees theyre still good, very versatile.
Construction seems kinda cheap unfortunately, I dont expect these shoes to last long. Quality doesnt match the price.

These shoes are what I've been looking for the last couple years: lightweight, with full ankle support and a thin sole to move with the ground better.
I've been wearing these shoes for 2 months and the rubber is peeling away at nearly every angle though. They're definitely still wearable, just slowly getting worse.
Awesome shoe, but I don't think they'll last me more than 4 or 5 months..

I like these boots in general but the soles have relatively poor traction on ice.
The laces are far too long; I replaced them with shorter ones.

The product is ok, I haven't owned them for very long and the sole is already separating from the fabric and the stitching is breaking in parts.

Bought these not expecting to test their waterproof-ness against snow until next winter. But northeastern Pennsylvanias late April had other plans obviously with a nice snow shower.
Wore these today at work for 11 miles of walking. Kept my feet comfy and warm in the cooler and freezer of my grocery store.
Feet as comfy and fresh as when I woke up. Classic xero.
Got home to take my dog out in the snow, unfortunately, after 21 minutes my feet were soaked with about an inch of snow on the ground and wet grass.
Expected a little more from these in the waterproof department. Maybe Ill have to try the new Excursion model but they were out of stock and now Im 100 bucks short on buying them since I have the Denvers.
Still a great boot and shoe. Nice and light. Just really not waterproof which is why I primarily wanted these in the crappy weather up here.

Shoe isn't remotely waterproof. Also believing you're going to wear these in light snow or below freezing temperatures is another mistake. I can't say all the reviews are fake but it's hard to believe nobody else noticed this. I bought on Zappos and thankfully they have 365 day return. I almost got frostbite wearing these and I live in NYC and drove an hour away figuring these would be fine. The review about Wisconsin winters made me confident enough to purchase these shoes. After wearing. them for two months in NYC/NY December and Jan 2022 there's no way they work in cold weather as advertised or said in reviews. They shoes look amazing and are super comfortable due to wider toe area. The design is incredible and quality seems solid. I didn't pay $120 to have shows I couldn't wear in slushy NYC streets or cold weather. Again amazing shoe except don't wear them on rainy days or cold weather. So if they are still worth $120 enjoy.

So comfortable. My first pair of barefoot shoes and I love them. Solid grip on snow/ice and good insulation for daily dog walks but certainly not a replacement for full winter/snow boots. Can wear them in nearly any situation. Fully recommend.

Good shoes for people with Tailor's bunions / bunionettes. They do require some break in or shoe stretching first, but the canvas is very pliable. I got these because it was getting too cold for my Hana's. Definitely worth it, just wish they were waterproof.

Fit is great. Toe box comfortable and not too narrow; shoes are lightweight and breathable. Very pleased with them.

I started my barefoot conversion a year ago with the xero prio and absolutely recommend it to everyone. I tried vivo and other brands and the xero had the best fit so far for me. I’m now trying to find a standard boot (preferably leather). Not crazy about the Denver’s style but so far I’ve tried the Belleville mini mil and the vivo gobi and both were a no. I ordered the Denver in the same size I wore in prio (13) and it was just slightly too small. Unfortunately the don’t make a 13.5 so I’m considering ordering a 14 to test it out.
After a full year of only wearing barefoot shoes I think my feet have spread out a bit and they have definitely gained a lot of instep volume as I developed a bit of an arch and more muscle.
There are many European barefoot shoe brands and lots of them have 13.5 so I will be trying out some of them soon. First up is the Zaqq expec, and feelgrounds patrol lite.
PS. Vivobarefoots don’t work for my feet at all. Way too narrow and low instep volume.
I'd also recommend:
Zaqq, feelgrounds, wildling

I have perhaps six pairs of Xero shoes and got rid of all of the old types of shoes are used to wear because this style of shoe and Company completely re-made me think what I like my shoes to be. Theyre flexible, sturdy, and light. Not a single shoe I have purchased is uncomfortable at all.

I love the Denvers, great winter boot. Only issue I had with these boots was the insole kept riding up the back of my foot. Unfortunately I had to take them out and it looks like they are thermal like insoles

Husband loves his Merrell's Barefoot shoes. These just didn't compare for him. He liked the look though.
