Why you’ll love Nexus Knit.

NEXUS KNIT – Athleisure Meets Barefoot-Inspired Comfort.

When you take an athletic design and give it Xero Shoes DNA – lightweight, flexible, foot-shaped – and add a breathable, 3D-knit upper, you get the Nexus Knit.

Whether you’re in the gym, taking a walk, going for a run or just hanging out with friends, you are going to love the look and feel of this shoe.

Best looking pair of barefoot shoes yet. They are still great for working out, but I can keep them on after the gym and still look good.

Stylish Comfort That’s Ready for Anything.

The Nexus Knit may not be our lightest performance shoe, but it still comes in at only 9.2 oz (men’s 9). More importantly, it’s still built to tackle whatever you want to do in it and look great while you are.

And when it comes to comfort, the breathable 3D-knit upper with its booty construction envelops your foot, so you’ll enjoy a barely-there feeling.

We hope you like talking to strangers, because the Nexus Knit’s elegant, minimalist design will make them stop you on the street to ask, “Where do I get a pair of those?”

Nexus Knit for everything you do.

Caring for your Nexus Knit

To clean shoes with a soft-bristled brush and dry detergent:

  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft cloth.
  2. Mix a little water with the white dry detergent
  3. Use soft-bristled brush, dipped in water to gently scrub shoes.
  4. Gently wipe away excess detergent with a dry cloth.
  5. Repeat until satisfied.
  6. Air dry shoes completely.

Please note:

  • White shoes can get dirty! Please use dry detergent as needed.
  • We do not recommend putting the Nexus in the washing machine or dryer.

FAQs


We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

After you purchase a gift certificate, you’ll be able to enter an email address for the recipient.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

Great Shoe

I think you have a wonderful product and I really enjoy wearing them when I train or just when I am going about my day.

Big Dude

They are very comfortable. I can wear them all day no issues. I’m just a big dude so I tend to go through shoes pretty quickly. I have had them a couple weeks now and they are still comfortable and feel great. Just with them being so light and thin I am curious for long they will last. But only time will tell.

Better results than I expected

The Xero Nexus Knit was my first foray into barefoot shoes. I was somewhat skeptical about the benefits of transitioning to such shoes, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. The big difference in my mind between these and "normal" footwear is the zero drop. Wearing these around for the better part 1-2 months has transformed not just my feet / ankles / toes, but also the rest of my posture which was previously rather poor due to a sedentary lifestyle. I feel like my feet now have an actual connection to the ground, and it is quite an amazing feeling to have. As far as the shoes go, they're great. They're durable and light weight, easy to put on and easy to wash. The only thing I don't understand are the very long shoelaces but they can just be tucked away. I'll probably end up buying some other kinds of footwear from Xero as well, but I gotta say that these are awesome

Not perfect, but still a very good shoe.

The nexus knit advertises three primary strengths: The breathable knit upper, the cup-shaped sole, and the overall shape of the shoe to gently hug your feet. My initial impression of the shoes, eschewing socks for the most part for a stronger barefoot feel is overall a positive one. While the knit upper traps more heat than I would like, making for a muggy feeling when lounging about inside, it becomes much less noticeable when out and about. The sole of the Nexus knit is thicker than I am used to coming from other barefoot shoes, even with the cushioning insole removed, but I noticed this does help with traversing more urban environments with your feet in constant contact with harder surfaces like concrete and asphalt without sacrificing that awareness of what youre standing on. Lastly, the construction and the shape of the shoe does lend itself to being rather comfortable compared to other barefoot shoes Ive worn. Overall, the Nexus Knit claims to be a shoe that straddles performance and casual fashion while staying true to its barefoot roots, and my experience has shown this to be largely true.

Good Overall

Love the feel and look so far. Morel is a clean neutral color that goes with many clothes. My only complaint is that I wish it had the supportive straps like the Prio. I also wish it had a true shoe tongue because it can feel almost like a slip-on. It fits true to size and the large toe box is great.
