Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our barefoot-inspired footwear
What makes Xero Shoes different from traditional athletic shoes?
Our shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box, non-elevated 'zero-drop' heels for proper posture, and a flexible sole that allows your feet to bend and move naturally.
How do I find my correct size?
Most of our models fit true to size, but we recommend checking the specific 'Sizing Guide' on each product page for model-specific fit recommendations.
Are Xero Shoes durable enough for high-intensity activities?
Yes. Our FeelTrue® rubber outsoles are designed to withstand rugged terrain and high-impact movement, backed by our 5,000-mile sole warranty.
Can I wear Xero Shoes without socks?
Absolutely. Many of our customers enjoy the barefoot feel of our moisture-wicking linings, though wearing thin socks is also perfectly fine.
How should I clean my Xero Shoes?
We recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap, then letting them air dry. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to high heat.
Do you offer vegan-friendly options?
Yes, the vast majority of Xero Shoes styles are made with 100% vegan-friendly materials.
