Great shoes, but not great wear

Great shoes, but not great wear
These are extremely comfortable for people with flat feet, and while I was told from many reviews that my feet will have to adjust, they simply didn’t need to as I was fine from the beginning. Whenever I go on walks with normal shoes my feet would cramp and I could only walk for 20 minutes. With these shoes, I can walk forever, but this has more to do with the flat feet working with barefoot/zero drop style than the Xero shoes themselves.I went with Xero because they seemed like a legitimate brand that would stand behind their shoes. For this reason, I was willing to pay the extra money compared to others on Amazon. At this point, I have two pairs of their shoes, and they have a warranty for 5000 miles. I have put 1000 miles on the HFS shoes and you can see that they are severely worn and versatility is a little questionable depending on surface. The Prio have no more than 500 on them and the right shoe already has similar balding. There are runners claiming 4,000-6,000 miles on similar shoes costing $30-50 on here.I have revised my rating to show that they do honor their warranty, but likely need a better email system.I wasn’t pleased about a lack of response, but it turns out there support emails go to spam and they have in fact reached out. They have offered me their 5000 warranty, giving me the discount. I love the feel of the shoes, but I really wish they’d invest in better sole technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lights, durable, comfortable
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023
I have been wearing these for about 6 months now. They are incredible. They are so light weight. The zero drop has been really nice. there is a removable cushion that is zero drop as well inside. The toe box being more rectangular with round corners vs a round toe box is superior for not cramping toes, and causing toes to grow cramped. They are breathable and don't get very hot either. I wore them all throughout the Louisiana hot summer. I find the soles are lasting longer than my Vans or Superga that i wore previously. I wear these everyday. I bought a second pait in white to have when i wear shorts. I wear size 13 according to a Brannock Device, and thats the size i got, and the fit great. I wore these for a week in colorado and a week hiking in moab utah.
