Caring for your Melbourne Shoes

Since the Melbourne has a leather upper, it’s a good idea to use a leather conditioner every few months, or as needed if the leather looks dry or dull.

To clean your Melbournes, use any commercially available leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner. For tough spots, gently scrub with a warm, damp cloth or damp soft bristle brush and allow to air dry. Then follow up with a leather conditioner.

WARNING: It is possible to over-condition, which may result in the leather looking and feeling greasy or oily.

We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

After you purchase a gift certificate, you’ll be able to enter an email address for the recipient.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

Complicated sizing

Shoes look nice and of good quality but: 1) the sole seems quite stiff for a barefoot shoe (but I didn't get to actually wear them), 2) sizing is incredibly complicated - I looked through all the website to find out the right size and still the ordered one is too small. There is no size template for Melbourne model, sizing info offers just a conversion chart, however, if you look at the JP size, it's quite close in centimeters (but again - close not precise), and this model does NOT run large - it might be true to size or even run small. My advice for Xero Shoes would be to just show precise inner length of each model and size not use templates + sizing info + tips for the model (and still get the wrong size). Sure, I could've contacted support to find my perfect size but that's just not a customer friendly practice, especially when there is clearance and some models sell out quickly. I am considering whether to send the boots back and lose 20 euros in delivery and return or return them for store points, however, I won't order again until the sizing is a bit more understandable.

Favorite shoe

Best shoe they make by far. So wish it hadn't been discontinued. Dreading hitting the 5000mile mark and having to let them go. The women's version looks pretty similar, but too feminine for me with owning this boot.

Too Small

I ordered my regular size, going against the recommendation on the site to size this particular boot down. The shoes were extremely small and did not fit at all. I do have high volume feet, which may have added to the problem, but I could not get them on at all, even with sheer socks on. Look and feel was nice, but I couldn't even do a test walk in my apartment to go further. Would recommend contacting support to make sure your size is right for your feet.

Needs to be tighter around ankle

Nice shoe. Does not hold the midfoot/arch very well. Too loose so the toes push forward to the end of the toe box more than they should

Modern tech moccasin

Great boot. Closest feel to a moccasin that I’ve found and has so much durability. Will be purchasing another pair in the future. Hope you continue to produce this style

My Comfort Shoes

These shoes are very comfortable and look amazing! I love the unisex look and I also love to slip them on without socks.
