The Prio is the most comfortable shoe for everything you do. Whether you’re out on a run, trying out a new trail, hitting the gym, or toeing a slackline, you’ll love the Prio’s combination of freedom and protection.
The Prio uses the same 5.5mm FeelTrue® rubber as Xero Shoes' Z-Trek sandal, so you get great protection while still getting the ground feedback that your feet love. The optional 2mm insole lets you have more or less of a “barefoot feel” depending on your mood. A men’s 42 is only 215 grams each – you’ll barely notice you have them on. Huarache sandal-inspired reflective heel and instep straps hold your foot securely – with or without socks – while keeping your toes free to move.
Plus, the Prio is made from 100% vegan-friendly materials.

A bit tight for your feet as a barefoot shoe, but still comfortable. Quite a sturdy shoe, the Merrels I used before were much more supple and thinner-soled, so you don't have the same feeling of being barefoot with these. Good quality shoes, light and breathable, but maybe I wouldn't call them a barefoot shoe, that's why a couple of stars off.

Really good barefoot shoes. Not quite the widest toebox, but enough for a normal Finnish foot. Very comfortable on the feet, especially because the heel stays firmly in place and nothing rubs on anything. I recommend to forget the presented size chart and buy according to the normal euro size. When buying based on UK/US size, the number would have been too small.

The shoes are great and fit well. Quality is really good. But service and communication of Varuste is very poor! Promised dates are useless and have delay. Most response is system generated feedback which is nonsense. In future will buy somewhere else!

Very comfortable shoes for everyday use.
Provides sufficient support with the included small insole. The shoes can be worn without insoles. The shoe breathes well in the summer heat. I also think it looks good. I myself have leg dysfunction due to nerve pressure in my back. These shoes fit significantly better than my other shoes. Helped in rehabilitating the leg.
I am very happy with the purchase of these shoes.

These are my first barefoot/minimalist shoes, and they are undoubtedly the most comfortable shoes that I've ever worn. I especially like the tactile feedback - the soles are very thin and let you feel the surface you're walking on (I use them without the removable insole). Their weight is almost imperceptible. They are highly adjustable. 10/10 for comfort, looks and functionality. I have only used them for a week, so I cannot comment on their durability yet.
