Bumpy delivery, FANTASTIC PRODUCT

Would have been 5 stars of it hadn’t taken them 3 tries to get me the right size/color, but it wasn’t a huge deal.The shoes themselves are AMAZING. I backpacked around Europe for 2.5 weeks in these things and they handled everything so well! And I continued to wear them exclusively for the rest of the summer. My ankles hurt a little bit at first but that’s just from my lack of ankle strength before using them. My feet finally feel taken care of! I’m hoping to slowly replace all of my practical-use shoes with this brand!!

but love them so far

I’m size 9.5 normally, 10 in running shoes. Size 9 fit me well. I’m only using them about once a week to change things up from my normal shoes, but love them so far! They also worked ok as beach hiking shoes, although (as with any tevas) sand and small rocks tend to get stuck.Only sizing complaint is the upper strap is too long and flops around.

Soles are separating.

The shoe is falling apart already after two days of wear at the lake, climbing around and in and out of water and on sand. The soles are separating just like others have said. Do not buy. I will be contacting the company.

Comfy & natural !

I use these on the daily! Super comfy now that I’ve broken them in a bit. You might experience some soreness in your legs and feet as your body adjusts to walking the way we are meant to – but I feel incredible now. I used to get cramps in my feet from my normal street shoes and they would last even when I was walking in flatter shoes or in socks around my house but these shoes have (I believe) helped me heal those cramps. I am very grateful I found these shoes and I will be buying the tennis shoes next!

BEST shoes EVER

I purchased directly from the company website. I had been convinced that I needed structured support to help ease my chronic knee and lower back pain. I came across an article from Xero about why that’s not actually helpful. It intrigued me enough to purchase a pair of Prios. I ended up loving them so much I purchased a pair of sandals too. It’s so freeing to be able to wear sandals again after being convinced for 2 years that I couldn’t because I needed more support. At first my calves hurt more. As my body got used the new format of walking and my calves got stronger, I began to raise just how much pressure was being relieved off my knees thanks to my feet being able to work according to their design. I won’t wear anything else anymore! And I plan on getting a pair of waterproof boots before winter because I work at a sod farm. When it’s rainy we get muddy.

Very Comfortable

These are very comfortable for sandals. Hasn’t been too warm yet in Minnesota to wear them all the time, but wants it warms up for the summer I will be wearing them more.

Would these be comfortable and provide enough support for a week at Disney?

It depends on your feet. A week at Disney? I say only if your feet are stable and strong. If not, wear other walking shoes or sneakers.
