“If I was on a desert island and could only wear one pair of shoes, I’d pick these.” – Christopher McDougall
“Exactly the feel I want for my endurance runs. They’re also the first thing I grab for walking around town.” – Eric Orton
Watch to learn why these running legends teamed up with Xero Shoes.
Over 13 years ago, Christopher McDougall catalyzed the barefoot- style running movement with the book Born to Run. His coach, Eric Orton, trained him for his adventures, including running with the Tarahumara in Mexico’s Copper Canyon.
But Christopher and Eric have remained “shoe brand agnostic” and have never endorsed a specific brand – until now.
“I never found a shoe company I could believe in until I put these on my feet. I’m so happy to partner with Xero Shoes, and I’m 100% confident in recommending them to anybody.” – Christopher McDougall
While co-writing Born to Run 2, they found they couldn’t stop wearing Xero Shoes because of their natural fit, feel, and comfort.

No matter your age or fitness level, Born to Run 2 can help you run better at all distances – and feel better doing it. The book is packed with training techniques and a full training program to prepare you for any endurance challenge.
Watch the video with co-author Christopher McDougall to learn about his inspiration for writing the sequel to Born to Run, and how it can help you to unlock your ideal running form.
Christopher and Eric have partnered with Xero Shoes to create a live video training series called “Born to Run Reboot“ on the Xero Shoes Youtube channel.
Each month, the Born To Run authors answer viewers’ questions and share their hard-earned lessons about natural movement and healthy living.
PLUS: At the end of each live event, Xero Shoes gives away a signed copy of Born To Run 2 and a free pair of Xero Shoes.
If you have not read the original Born to Run book, it’s a must-read for anyone interested in natural movement, maximizing performance, or just looking for a great adventured tale.
Xero Shoes President Lena Phoenix shared, “I am not a runner, but once I picked up Born to Run, I couldn’t put it down. I learned so much, had fun reading it, and it obviously changed Steven’s and my life because it helped inspire us to start Xero Shoes.”
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!”
