BIG CONGRATS to Dave Cavanagh Dave is a multiple-time “walk on” to American Ninja Warrior. He was, finally, invited to compete in the recent try-outs in Baltimore and… well… check out how he did. And check out the shoes he’s wearing! Yup, those are our best-selling running/fitness shoe, the Prio. Dave is heading to Las […]
There is no shortage of race training plans, strength-building exercises, and recovery plans out there for runners. If you’ve ever followed us on our journey, you know that we think the physical aspect of running (and especially racing ultramarathons) is important…but your mental side is key too. Finding the balance in training those two for […]
Parallel bars that are low to the ground are known as parallettes. Though they might not appear to offer anything special at first glance, these little, low bars are an amazing tool. Wrist pain is one of the most common issues associated with floor exercises like planks, L-sits and handstands. Since parallettes allow your wrists […]
When Kelly, above, first put on her Daylite Hiker, she commented, “It feels like you’re not even wearing shoes!” We’re proud to say this isn’t the first, second, or well, hundredth time we’ve heard this. In fact, we’ve heard everything from “these are so comfy I accidentally went to bed with them” to “I’m never […]
We took some Xero Shoes out to a parkour gym to have some fun and put our shoes (and sandals!) through their paces. Let’s just say, it was super fun: Want to see more of this? What’s the coolest thing you do in your Xero Shoes? Leave a comment, below…
By Matt Giordano, @theyogimatt The Low Back Do you suffer from tight hamstrings? Many runners, active adventurist, and even those that sit at a desk all day experience tremendous tension in the hamstrings (back of the legs). As a result, the pelvis might get pulled downward in a tucked (posterior tilt) position causing the low […]

By Mel & Jon Sinclair, @ultrameljon “Running is 90% mental and the other 10% is in your head.” – Ray Zahab We’ve all heard it before…your mind will give up before your body. And after running a 90 hr 36 min 200 mile race…we can vouch for that statement. If this is such a big […]
We’ve seen Steven run from bears, lions, racecars, and more…but Usain Bolt? We’ve put this pic on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and here, on the blog, where you can comment below. Head to one (or all) of those places and give us your best caption about Steven and the greatest sprinter of all time. One winner will […]
When you run, you can hit the ground with anywhere from 3-6 times your body weight. That’s a lot of force! Clearly you need a LOT of cushioning to deal with that force, right? Well, this is the argument that underlies all non-minimalist shoes, but it’s really the premise behind so-called MAXIMALIST shoes, like this […]
I'm an international ultramarathon athlete and I wear Xero Shoes for races. No blisters. No smelly feet. But I also use them as my everyday sandals (they look way cool!) and I recommend Xeros to everyone.Melissa Gosse
As a barefoot runner I’ve heard lots about huaraches but it wasn’t until Steven made me my first pair (I have two) that I understood how much fun they are to run distances in!Scott McLean
Thank you for making these amazing huaraches. I love how they feel. I forget they are there so much so I have worn them to bed a few times!Tasha Riggs
