XERO SHOES Prio Youth Running Shoes
Unleash your child´s natural potential with the XERO SHOES Prio Youth, the ultimate running and play shoe designed to let kids´ feet do what’s natural—bend, flex, and feel the world. Built upon the foundation of our best-selling adult performance shoe, the Prio Youth is engineered specifically for the anatomy and activity of growing feet, providing a “barely-there” experience that supports strength, balance, and agility. It’s more than just footwear; it’s a tool for healthier, happier movement for every adventure, from the track to the playground.
Let your kids´ feet continue to move, bend, feel, and flex naturally when they step into this lightweight (5.9oz-167g Y3) version of our best-selling performance shoe that´s built just for them.
The wider toe box lets their feet spread and splay.
The iconic, adjustable heel and instep straps hold their feet securely when they run, jump, walk, and play.
The dual-chevron tread on the FeelTrue sole gives great grip, just-right protection, and is backed with our 5.000 mile sole warranty.
The Prio Youth is grounded in a “foot-first” design philosophy. The non-elevated, zero-drop heel promotes a natural, neutral posture, aligning the body from the ground up. This encourages a proper midfoot strike when running, reducing impact and allowing for a more efficient stride. The incredibly flexible construction works in harmony with the foot´s 26 bones and 33 joints, allowing them to move and articulate as nature intended, which is crucial for developing robust arches and overall foot strength.
Security is paramount when kids are on the move. The Prio Youth features a clever and effective fit system that combines traditional laces for a customizable feel with our signature inverted V-straps. These adjustable instep and heel straps are not just for show; they actively engage to lock the foot in place, preventing internal slipping and ensuring a confident, secure fit during multi-directional movements, quick stops, and energetic sprints.
Whether it’s for a young boy or girl, this unisex shoe is the perfect all-day companion. The low-cut design provides complete freedom of movement for the ankle, while the lightweight build—weighing in at under 200 grams—ensures that nothing holds them back. For added safety during evening play or early morning walks, subtle reflective accents are integrated into the design to enhance visibility. The Prio Youth is the ideal choice for parents seeking a minimalist, neutral shoe that prioritizes long-term foot health without compromising on performance, protection, or fun.
