Q: I have wide feet as well as serious bunions. i walk, bike and weight train. is this the best xero style? if not, please recommend.

Hello there, Thank you for contacting us. Great question! The Prios are a general athletic and running shoe, so they would be very well suited! While we wouldn't have a varied widths and would consider our shoes "medium width", all of our shoes and sandals are designed to allow the foot to move, bend and flex naturally. This means that there is no arch support, minimal if any cushioning and wider than average forefoot to allow for toe splay. Because they are more minimal and have that wider forefoot, it provides a bit more space for your feet! For the Women's sizes, we have had customers fit up to a size D width. As for the Men's, we have had some customers that can fit in a 2E or 3E width. In both cases, it is very much a "hit or miss" depending on the style of shoe. At the current moment, we do not manufacture shoes that are wide enough for a 4E+ widths. That said, if you are worried about the width, you could consider the Men's sizing. To get a bit more specific, the men's version will have an extra 1/4-1/8" width compared to the women's version. When moving from women's to men's you will need to "size down" 1.5 sizes. You will find a comparable length but you will get the extra width. For example, if you are looking at the Women's size 8, the equivalent would be the slightly wider Men's size 6.5. Hopefully that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions. :) Have a wonderful day!

Q: My feet are 9” heel to toe, and 4” across the widest part. How do I find out how wide these shoes are?

Although we do not give out recommendations based on 2 dimensional measurements I would be happy to provide you information about our width. All of our shoes and sandals are designed to allow the foot to move, bend and flex naturally. This means that there is no arch support, minimal if any cushioning and wider than average forefoot to allow for toe splay. Our main concept is to allow you to move naturally, as if you were barefoot, but with protection! Customers compare our sizing to EE wide.
