This company has stayed true to form…

This company has stayed true to form since the beginning and their products only keep getting better. Materials and quality has gone up with every purchase and they have maintained the minimalist and/or barefoot style that initially caught my attention.

GO FEET FIRST!

The owners have a fun personality with a genuine belief in what they do and great marketing skill. The feet first minimalist design is gaining traction and definitely worth taking a look into. I got the Speed Force II, I like the simplicity, style, and quality of the shoes.

I Saw The New High-Top Leather Boots And Had To Have A Pair!

I saw the new high-top leather boots Xero is putting out and was excited to try a pair. They reminded me of Earth shoes from the 1960s but with a high top that could be tied securely and a deep, ground-gripping tread. They did not disappoint. In addition, I felt them slide on easily. When I looked at the shoe, I saw the reason: the beautiful high-quality leather in the shaft of the boot allowed easy entry. The shoes have an ultra-natural barefoot feel. The boots are sufficiently light that you almost don't feel as though you are wearing shoes until you test them on rough terrain.

Don't hesitate to buy these. You won't be sorry!

Sharp and Comfortable

I have worn them just a little…it has been hot until yesterday… But bought them for a November trip to Paris and Normandy. For the past year and a half, I have been wearing wide toe box shoes with silicone toe spacers and now my old boots pinch my toes after 25 minutes. I am so excited to rock them in France!!

These shoes replace the Blundstones…

These shoes replace the Blundstones I’ve been wearing for years. The Xero achelsea boot is lightweight, flexible, durable and has a wide toe bed. No more foot and back pain. They are great for farm use and when I cook in the kitchen for 11 hour shifts. Love them. Will be buying a second pair for sure.

I am a vegan and I like wearing hemp shoes

I am a vegan and I like wearing hemp made shoes without any leather components. I like the style of shoes they offer although they could use some improvement on durability and also if you don’t live in the States, added custom fees. Having said that, I have bought several shoes from them over the last few years and will keep doing so. If you can find a local outlet that carries their line would be the better way to go.

Ridgeway hiking shoes NOT WATERPROOF

I bought the Ridgeway hiking shoes this summer. They are sold as waterproof. That was one of the main reasons I picked them. I was super satisfied, like really loved them until the first rain, probably after 5-6 times I was using them. I didn't even walk under the rain, it was a short 10minutes walk in low grass in the mountains after it had rained. My feet were totally wet! I had to dry them in order to be able to use them the next day. Since I bought them through an online retailer I wrote to the retailer but have also tried sending an email to Xero support, as I thought my feedback was important to them. I was wrong, they were not interested and told me the retailer is going to take care of everything. The retailer, after offering me an increasing discount, which I have refused, asked me to ship the shoes back and now I am waiting for them to evaluate the case with Xero. Main point being: The Ridgeway are waterproof only until the water drops do not fall on top of the shoe. That fabric is far from waterproof, or even repellent for me...

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Ridgeway hiking shoes. We're really sorry to hear about the issues you've faced with waterproofing and your interaction with support. This is not the kind of experience we want our customers to have, and we truly value your feedback.

While the Ridgeway is designed to be waterproof, it sounds like there may have been a manufacturing issue with your pair. We're glad you're working with the retailer for a resolution, and we’ll make sure your feedback reaches our team to improve both product and service. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Treat your feet right

From ordering to delivery, Xero shoes makes it easy.As someone who has worn Air Jordans for years, I've prided myself on wearing "cool" shoes. However recent foot issues forced me to re think my footwear. My Dillons, with their wide toe box and flexible sole, give my feet the movement and mobility they crave, while looking good doing it. I highly recommend Xero shoes as a brand, not only for their footwear, but also for the amazing amount of health information they provide for free through their website and social media platforms.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that transitioning to Xero Shoes has been such a positive experience for you, especially coming from a background of wearing iconic "cool" shoes like Air Jordans. It's fantastic that the wide-toe box and flexible sole of the Dillons have given your feet the comfort, movement, and mobility they need while still looking stylish. We’re also glad that you find our health information helpful—your well-being is our priority!

Thanks for the recommendation, and welcome to the Xero Shoes family! 😊👟

Great company

I LOVED the HFS II shoes straight out of the box. They were comfortable, which is a rare feeling for me in conventional shoes, and I felt that the transition to minimal shoes, if done gradually, would work perfectly. Unfortunately, I had to return them because I live in a condo with a downstairs neighbor and the soles made too much noise on my hardwood floors. If the shoes are ever available with quieter soles, I’d repurchase in a heartbeat. I’m still hopeful that I can find a pair of Xero shoes that will - quietly - work for my needs. On the topic of returns and refunds, I found Xero to be very easy to work with. They provided updates when the return arrived and when the refund was issued. I did not experience any problems or delays but I also respected their terms and conditions. If you wear a shoe and it is obviously soiled or worn, it's unreasonable to expect a company to refund the cost of the product.

We're happy to hear that your return and refund process went smoothly and that you found us easy to work with. We hope to find the perfect pair for your needs soon. Thanks for your support and understanding! 😊👟

Pain free

Quality, out of the box shoes. I have a bunion, and I work in the construction industry. Good luck finding boots to help with that. I have so much less pain with xero shoes. Plus because of the flexibility and zero drop, I'm rebuilding my arches. 10/10

Xero DayLight Hiker Fusion DeLight

I bought the Xero DayLight Hiker Fusion in the all black. I followed the size recommendation for the specific shoe and they fit great! They are fantastic shoes, deLightful! They strike the perfect balance of flexibility, toughness, comfort, ventilation, and they look really cool! I will be purchasing a pair in another color soon. They’re ideal for just running errands or a rugged hike.

I discovered Xero Shoes several years…

I discovered Xero Shoes several years ago. Even when different needs arise, their shoes are delivering what is promised. I cannot believe how comfortable these roomy toe boxes are and how well they fit (I wear a difficult-to-find 10.5 women's size). I have Xero shoes for dressy occasions, 12-hour clinical work, business wear, everyday yardwork, and now super casual, super comfortable wool slip-ons (a real treat!) This brand really knows how to deliver comfort and foot care all in one.

The best barefoot shoes in all styles

Great shoes and overall amazing company! I think I'm up to about 15 pairs of their shoes now. They have a variety of colors and styles but all with the natural barefoot feel I've grown to love!

Re-lace for easier on and off

Very comfy right out of the box, nice wide toe box and a bit thicker sole (so should be a bit warmer in the winter), good quality leather. But to make them easier to get on and off, I would recommend re-lacing the boots so the lace comes from the underside. Right now it comes from the outside and goes under which makes them difficult to tighten and loosen ... and get on and off.

Xero Shoes - Denver Boot - EMS use.

Product as described if not better, decent price point compared to competitors and fast shipping.
I bought these to ensure a good level of feel through the soles, protection through leather uppers, comfort through barefoot style wide fitting and durability from the outside hike type boot. So far, comfort is exceptional, not quite as wide as vivobarefoot trackers, but more durable given the stitching between sole and upper. The leather is a soft style, rather than the usual polished (tanned?) leather used in boots and flexes well. This is probably more useful for me than others as I fly helicopters and need to use my feet in all directions. It’s a medical job and the ability to clean and re-polish the surface to get rid of er, contaminants, is important, I have yet to see how the boot takes to Renapur or boot polish. I hope they have the longevity to survive the daily thrashing I dish out to them, but I can sleep in them, run in them and fly in them… so I’m happy for now! Thank you.
