BEST BAREFOOT SHOES 2021: thatfitfriend.com/best-barefo...
The Xero Shoes 360, Prio, and HFS are all popular models for cross-training, lifting, and running. I constantly get asked questions comparing the HFS vs 360 vs Prio.
Personally, I like the Xero Shoes Prio, 360, and HFS and for slightly different reasons. I wanted to put this Xero Shoes comparison video together to help you assess which model is best for your training needs.
To break down the Xero Shoes 360 Vs Prio Vs HFS comparison, I'll talk about the following topics.
0:00 Intro
0:39 Best for Lifting?
2:30 Best for Running?
3:21 Best for Daily Wear?
4:18 Sizing Differences
4:53 Price Breakdown
5:16 Construction Similarities
6:19 Construction Differences
8:22 Key Takeaways
I think if you can contextualize how you want to use your Xero Shoes, then it gets really easy to identify which model to go with.

I've owned 360's, Prio, and Zelen which is a hybrid of HFS (same sole I believe). For my feet... the 360's are my favorite shoe. The fit and feel is amazing. The sole on the 360 is the best in my opinion. I better stock up on the 360's in case they ever discontinue them.

The grip for the HFS Was pretty good for some things but unlike snow or mud or even like running on dry asphalt and quickly turning you'll get some slips. But everything else about HFS is really great. It's even got some water resistance in there.

Excellent review man! Ive been thinking of buying these shoes although you said light to moderate running and I was a bit confused as to how many miles is “light to moderate”? So Im training for triathlon and Ill run 1-3 miles, 2-3 per week, therefore I was wondering if you still recommend that hybrid shoe? When I do 5K runs, my feet seem to cramp up, not sure if its my weight, the shoes or combo of both which is why Im thinking of changing to barefoot shoe. Thanks again for great info!

Thank you! Honestly, I need to do a better job at defining that in reviews. Light = 1-3 mi Mod = 4-6 mi Yeah, it’s a solid hybrid shoe for those asks! These will definitely take some acclimating to, so definitely go slow as you ease into a barefoot shoe from a tradition training/running shoe!

@@aldishidalgo4574 It really depends! If you're getting cramping, then that would be something to look into on top of looking into new shoes. My advice, visit a local running store where you can chat with someone and they can look at your anatomy/gait to suggest a good model that is specific to your training goals! It's really hard for me to say without more context in this case because you have specific goals and needs atm!

I would say for the sole, between the HFS and Prio, the Prio is definitely more durable. Which is unfortunate because I found that the Prio was also less grippy. I wore both the Prio and HFS as a daily shoe, and when walking places that are wet both inside and outside on roads etc, I would actually have to worry about sliding in my prios, especially at work in a kitchen, but I didn't have that problem with the HFS (mild slippage if the floor at work was oily or wet, but much less so than the Prio) The HFS sole's durabilty was quite lacking, I think I've had mine for a year and a half maybe, and not only are there bald spots, but two holes in each, and I only walk in them... Sometimes on a bit of gravel, but nothing intense, same places I wore the Prios at. The Prios held up for a few years, and are still quite useable, few mildly bald spots on the treads, but I no longer wear them because the grip just isn't to my liking. Would you say the 360 is better in both grip and durability? I really like to be able to have my shoes for years!
@thatfitfriend 2 жыл бұрын
The 360’s sole would be most comparable to the Prio, IMO. If you’re wearing them for daily wear and training, then you may see the tread deplete a little faster, but for generally wear they should last you a while!

Hi Jake. Appreciate the video reviews. I tried a pair of Whittin running shoes but the heel sole was very rounded and didn't feel so stable doing leg workouts. Also tried some Nano 9 which advertised as 4mm, but the drop felt closer to a 6 or 8mm drop, much more compared to Skechers GoTrain Vipers with 3mm drop I used over a year (which was my favorite). Which one of these Xero shoes, or even from the Vivo Barefoot line, would be most comfortable running for a mix of trail/pavement running about 5m distances? Will probably also use them for recreational weight training purposes as well. Or would the Strike Mvmnt Haze Trainers may suit my needs better?
@thatfitfriend 3 ай бұрын
HFS or HFS 2/Xero Shoes Zelen would be my recs, those are solid hybrid options. The Vivo Primus Trail Knit is also solid, but has a higher price point! Haze will deliver a much diff feel since it's a training shoe versus a barefoot shoe, kind of like comparing apples to oranges, so it depends on what you want in that context.

So I am trying to get more suggestions on which shoe to purchase. I am currently just barely getting back into working out and starting with short walk/jog/runs (maybe 2-3 miles at a time). Eventually I might do some other agility HIIT workouts and light lifting (dumbbells mostly). I have not worm barefoot shoes in about 5+ years (Vibram KSM) so know how to wear them but way out of practice. I will run mostly on streets and horse trails (think sandy, dirt, and very dusty). I like the HFS design but am worried since I read negative reviews that dirt/dust gets inside really easily. Since I want to wear these all day without having to change for workouts I would not like the idea of getting dirty. The 360 sounds good as well since it seems durable and possible protect from the dirt. The Prio seems well rounded, but also a fairly old design so was concerned. Any suggestions would be great, thank you. * I forgot to mention that I own a pair of Reebok Nano 5's, and the top of those dig into the top of my foot and cause pain if worn for more than 30 minutes, so looking for now pain.
@thatfitfriend 2 жыл бұрын
Got you! The Speed Force could be a good option to explore as well. They tend to be a bit easier to wipe down if they get dirty due to their upper construction. I think the HFS would be okay for the most part sans the very dusty settings, but a lot of shoes (not made for trails etc.) will run into issues in that terrain. My thoughts go to Speed Force and HFS from Xero Shoes.
