Think again!
We've rounded up 20 of the most affordable unisex barefoot shoes – All under $100.

Xero has revamped their bestseller, the Prio, into the Prio Neo. It's the Prio you love, but lighter and with premium materials perfect for training. A must-try if you're a fan of the original.
Xero – Dillon
Xero's take on the classic sneaker. The Dillon has style, but they're snug in the front, so we're eagerly awaiting Dillon 2.0 for a roomier fit.

Enhanced stability from their Huarache strap system, and a breathable Hemp upper with a water-resistant finish, make the Hana a versatile choice.
Xero Prio
Xero's bestseller, the Prio, is the Swiss Army knife of shoes. Smart enough for pairing with jeans and rugged enough for trail runs, it also features a reflective Huarache strap for safer night runs.
