Have you seen bigfoot? If you were in Las Vegas on March 2nd at the Stratosphere hotel, you probably did. In fact, you may have seen this mysterious barefoot beast climb the Strat! While most people who claim to see bigfoot have grainy, fuzzy pictures or video, we have high-resolution proof of his existence. And, […]
People making the transition to running barefoot or in minimalist shoes sometimes experience calf pain or even calf injuries. They can also feel pain in their Achilles tendon. I have talked with plenty of people who assume this kind of pain is just part of the transition process from running in typical running shoes to […]
I totally want to work for this kid!
We take a break from our usual chat about barefoot running and walking for this: I don’t think it’s much of a confession to say that I’m a total health and fitness geek. I love keeping up on the research about strength training (most recently: power factor training), diet (my latest obsession: resistant starch), supplementation […]
There’s nothing I find funnier than when I’m running in my Xero Shoes sandals and someone asks, “Can you run in those?” Uh… you’re WATCHING me run in them! Well, when I tell non-runners that some people run 100k ultramarathons in huaraches, they’re incredulous. Now I don’t need to explain anything, I can just show […]
Look, I’m the first one to say that barefoot running isn’t for every person under every circumstance. Granted, I’ll say that it’s great for almost everyone, almost all of the time. But every now and then, you need a pair of shoes. Certain restaurants or businesses require SOME form of footwear (one of the reasons […]

Two key components of a barefoot shoe (or minimalist shoe) are “drop” and “stack height.” Drop is the height difference between the heel and ball of the foot. When you stand on the ground, your heel and feet are at the same height, which means “zero-drop.” Stack Height is the thickness of whatever is under […]
I’ve posted a few times about running barefoot in the cold (or in Xero Shoes)… check out this link, for example. But, inspired by a video I just received from Andreas Cederström in Sweden, I thought you would enjoy this: (Pardon the lag between video and audio… weird Google Hangout effect) You can find Andreas’ […]
Can you run barefoot if your legs are different lengths? This is a question I get at least once a week. And I think the answer may be surprising. Watch this video that I made with Joshua Gordon about barefoot running technique and leg length issues (and a LOT more). Then leave a comment below […]
When people ask, “How long will my Xero Shoes last?” we say, “We don’t know, but it’s going to be a long, long time!”
That’s why we offer this 5,000 mile sole warranty.
If you wear your FeelTrue® outsoles (or FeelTrue® section of Z-Trail) down to less than 1mm thick at the ball or heel of the foot (not an edge), we’ll replace them with the same product for the following price:
60% off MSRP (full, non-sale, listed, retail price) for the product, plus shipping.
We also offer a 24 Month Manufacturing Warranty, which covers defects and flaws that may happen in the first two years. We will offer a free replacement for orders that qualify.
If you have a manufacturing concern, please email our Customer Service team at [email protected] and include a photo of the issue with your current shipping address. For closed toed shoes, please include another photo with the tongue tag.
