FAQs
It’s not waterproof because the tongue is independent of the rest of the upper, though the ballistic mesh material in the upper definitely makes this boot a little more rain-friendly than most other footwear. If you really want to keep the water at bay, check out our Xcursion — Xero’s first fully waterproof boot.
We use “men’s” and “women’s” as a matter of convention. We know there are some men who will fit better in the “women’s” shoe, and vice versa.
The “men’s” style is a bit wider across the toes and in the heel. The women’s, conversely, has a narrower heel and slightly less-wide toe box.
If you’re a man with a very thin foot, or a women with a wide foot, you may want to try the “other” style.
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.

First pair barefoot shoes
I'm 61 and this is my first pair of barefoot shoes. They feel different. I really like the look. I've gone on my 1.8 mile walks with them and my feet feel great. I'm told the muscles in my feet will be tired after walking in them for a while but then they will be better and my balance will even improve. I'm pleased, and awaiting muscle strengthening with more use. The shoes are very nice and feel good on my feet.

Overall great!
A great shoe so far. Took a little longer to break in than others but still a strong shoe. Bought for working in the landscape industry and my feet hurt way less than standard less expensive shoes of similar genre.

Years of Pain Fixed
I absolutely love these shoes!!! (Had to get this out of the way first) I work in law enforcement. After years of wearing various traditional big clunky boots and then traditional “ultralight” boots, I was never satisfied. In fact, I ended having to go see a orthopedic doctor/surgeon because I was having such intense and consistent foot pain; I would have to take several days off work in a row because I couldn’t bear weight on one or both feet. He tested everything and recommended Xero shoes (which he was wearing), among a few other barefoot brands. Although skeptical, Saw this pair was $35 on sale and figured , “why not?” After maybe a week of a break in period, all of my pain was gone, and I’ve had no pain ever since. The wide toe-box is amazing. I feel super connected to the ground when walking, standing a post for a long time, or even running. I haven’t rolled my “baby dear ankles” once since wearing them and have had no further issues with my flat feet or my high arches. Hiking has been an upgraded experience with them as well. The sizing was pretty spot on. I usually wear a 10.5-11. The 11s fit perfect. One of my favorite things is the quick disconnect hooks at the top of the shoe. This means I don’t have to tie and untie my shoes a million times. My only complaint is that when it’s super cold or snowing, my feet do get cold after a bit even with thick socks. But it has to be well below freezing for me to notice. I now own 5 different pares if Zero shows and refuse to wear anything else.

Good soles, okay build
I have been wearing these daily as my work boots. I am a home inspector and they give very good grip on roofs and in attics, which is critical. However, the trim features on the uppers are starting to curl and delaminate. I will attempt to glue them down, but they should not be doing this. Overall, a decent boot and time will tell their longevity.

DayLite Hiker
5 stars. Needed a pair with a rugged pattern on the bottom for Pittsburgh winters. Wear them everywhere without fear of slipping.
