A Foot-Friendly Athletic Shoe for Kids
The Xero Prio Youth is a minimalist athletic shoe that lets your child's foot feel the ground so that he or she can experience the true joy of natural foot and body movement. To function at their best, your child's feet need to move, bend, flex, and feel their environment, and the Prio Youth allows them to do exactly this. It’s a high-performance shoe that encourages proprioception, enables natural toe splay, and helps prevent problems in your child's feet that may develop down the line.
Wide Toe Box, Flexible Sole, Zero Drop Platform
The Xero Prio Youth incorporates a wide, anatomical toe box and a zero drop sole, both of which encourage proper posture, balance, and agility, help stabilize your child's foot and ankle, and enable natural arch support. The Prio Youth's flexible 5.0 mm sole allows his or her foot to move the way nature intended and become strong on its own, and its lightweight, huarache-inspired design is unobtrusive and provides your child's foot with plenty of freedom to function at its best.
Can Be Used With Other Helpful Footgear
The Prio Youth is compatible with other helpful natural footgear, including Correct Toes, Injinji toe socks, Pedag metatarsal pads, and Naboso insoles. This combination of footgear helps promote normal and natural foot and toe alignment in your child's feet. This vegan athletic shoe also includes a FeelTrue rubber sole, an adjustable instep strap, and reflective strips to help your child be seen in low-light conditions. Each Xero Prio Youth shoe weighs about 5.0 oz.
Note: If your child is new to using Xero footwear, we recommend that he or she start in slowly, gradually building up wear-time and giving his or her body the chance to adapt to the thinner soles and the increased workload on the feet.

To get the most out of Xero Prio Youth shoes, the manufacturer recommends that you order your child’s normal shoe size. For example, if your child normally wears a youth size 4 shoe, consider ordering a youth 4 in the Xero Prio Youth. If your child is between sizes, order up to the next available size.
If you're on the fence about what size to order for your child, consider ordering both sizes and then simply return the size that doesn't fit as well for a refund. If you have concerns about sizing, feel free to contact us or Xero customer service.
Sizing Tip #1: To create additional roominess within the shoe, we suggest removing the included (optional) shoe liner/insole; this action does not, in any way, affect the performance of the shoe. Optionally, and to enhance balance, posture, agility, and general foot/body awareness, you might consider adding thin, flexible Naboso insoles instead.
Sizing Tip #2: Correct Toes toe spacers will often add width and length to the foot. If you’re planning to have your child wear Correct Toes inside his or her footwear, we recommend sizing up, especially if he or she is on the border between sizes.
