The BOOST Midsole offered on a good percentage of adidas shoes makes for automatic comfort, the 1.0 included. There's also the PRIMEKNIT upper to wrap your foot in place, the Stretchweb outsole to your steps, adidas' Continental™ Rubber outsole, and the fact that the upper is made with a high-performance yarn which contains at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic, with the other half being recycled polyester.

• A promising review: "I’m in love with these shoes. I have problem with flat feet and everything that has to do with it, I drive long hours as well, occasional weekend racing and daily driver is a manual. This pair of shoes has brought peace and comfort to me. I also bought the Kona’s for casual occasions, same thing. I wish y’all could add a safety toe so I can use them at work. Thanks again!!" - Xero Reviewer

According to Xero Shoes, "if you could only have one pair of shoes, the Prio Suede would be a perfect choice." Why is that? Due to the upgraded breathable mesh upper, the huarache sandal-inspired heel, the non-elevated “zero drop” heel that helps with better posture, and a low-to-the-ground design which promotes better balance and agility. That all sounds good to us, the only question is if it sounds good to you as well.
