When Lena and I started Xero Shoes in November 2009, we thought, “Oh, this’ll be a nice little hobby business.” We never anticipated it growing as much as it has, or working as hard as we work 😉 After appearing on Shark Tank last night, we’ve been SWAMPED with orders, emails, phone calls. I’ve been […]
We just got the word from ABC and Mark Burnett Productions that our Shark Tank episode is re-airing on Friday, May 31st. Frankly, we’re still reeling from the effects of our original air date in February. We sold over 3,000 pairs of Xero Shoes barefoot sandals after the show aired… and that was in the […]
Here’s a fun lacing tip/trick you can use with your Xero Shoes. Basically, it’s making a “lacing loop” out of a small section of our new laces or using our toe loops. There are two reasons you may want to do this: 1) It’s a cool decorative element (especially if you use a different color […]
Woo-Hoo! Homer loves his Xero Shoes, too! 😉

It’s no surprise that the vast majority of the people wearing Air Jordan’s don’t play basketball, that almost nobody who wears the Puma Faas shoes will give Usain Bolt a run for his money. Well, Saturday Night Live nailed it with this commercial for New Balance 😉 Like it? Then SHARE IT.
If you’re going out on a run today, barefoot or otherwise…

We’ll start at 10am at the Xero Shoes office — 5470 Conestoga Ct, Boulder, CO, 80301 — with […]
People always ask me for videos of barefoot running form. I usually avoid making them — because the way *I* run is not necessarily the way *you* should run. That said, here’s a video of Simon from Macedonia demonstrating what I think is some of the best barefoot form you’ll ever see. I think everyone […]
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!”
