I recently found xero shoes through trying to search for different minimalist shoe brands. I came across the name a few times where people were talking in high regards. I popped over to the website and found that they were very reasonably priced. Naturally as I hadn't purchased from the site in the past I made my purchase from the clearance section. I purchased the prio shoe and also cloud sandal. As I am in the UK and xero is US I had to pay customs of around £20 (my shopping basket was around £70). They delivery did take some time however I did order around 4th July. The shoes when they did arrive were well packaged and well presented. The images on the website do not do these justice, if I'm completely honest when ordering the prio I was not sure about the design and if I'd like them. My opinion changed as soon as I opened the box. Much nicer when you have them in your hand or on your feet for that matter. The soles are magic, they are comfy yet nothing to them in terms of depth. They offer a nice amount of cushioning but still allow you to feel the ground. For anyone that hasn't tried minimal shoes, there is something satisfying that I cannot explain how or why when you can feel the ground beneath you while wearing shoes. The shoes seem well made and I hope they will last, the sole and materials all look robust but time will tell. The sandals take some time to adjust and get to fit 100% but there are plenty of adjustments that make this eventually a really nice fit. I watched the video from the guys at xero to help me adjust them. This was a game changer and I feel I could do anything in my sandals and I have. I have purposely wore them as often as possible for a period of around 2 weeks and notice my body just feels happier and healthier. I move better, less aches and pains, joints feel free. The reason of the 4 stars and not 5 is basically the time for delivery and custom charges which you could argue isn't xero shoes fault however it was part of my experience and that is what I'm reviewing. Also the time to take to get the sandals just right. All round I whole heartily recommend xero shoes, so much so that I signed up to the affiliate program as the shoes have helped me I want to share the love and try help as many people as I know.
