Aptos

“This slip on is iconic but with the minimalist design and barefoot feel.“
– Chris K.

Aptos may have a familiar look, but wait until you slip it on and FEEL it.

With its lightweight, hemp canvas upper, wide toe box, and new grippy sole, the comfort is unmatched.

We named this shoe after a casual, cool California beach town, and when you slip on the Aptos, you’ll feel that “walking on the beach at sunset” vibe no matter where you take it.

“Just-Right” Protection

With a grippy 6mm FeelTrue® rubber sole, you’ll get the protection you want while still getting the ground feedback that your feet love. Slip out the removable 3mm insole when your mood says “more barefoot feel, please.”

Lightweight

A men’s size 9 Aptos is just 7.4 ounces each – you’ll barely notice you’re wearing them.

Easy on and off

Elastic sections in the upper mean you can slide in and out of the Aptos with ease (no hands!), but still have a secure and comfy fit.

Plus, the Aptos is made from 100% vegan-friendly materials.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day than they did at the beginning, you haven’t been wearing the Aptos.

Life-Changing comfort and superior performance come from using your feet naturally.

That’s what Xero Shoes let you do.

Natural Fit. Natural Motion. Natural Feel.

Plus Xero Shoes are backed with a 5,000-mile sole warranty.

Caring for your Aptos

To clean your Aptos, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting the Aptos in the washing machine or dryer.

Do you ship internationally?

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.

How do I send a gift certificate?

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.

What’s your return policy?

Please go to Xero Shoes Return Policy page to learn about our 45-day return policy.

Great Slip-ons!

I have MS and have special shoe requirements that can really affect how I am able to get around. The Aptos are just about perfect, it’s smooth soles allow me to slide my feet along when I am not able to lift them, great for driving as well. The latest Aptos have some improvements that should make them more long lasting, now all Xero has to do is bring out some brighter colors!

solid martial arts shoe

I’m delighted to shift to these for my wing tsun practice over the cheap shoes that came with my initial enrollment. The rubber soles offer way more friction but are still soft enough to avoid accidentally injuring anyone else’s feet. They’re also wonderfully wide. I usually wear a 4E width, so that’s incredibly important to me. They’re comfortable and feel great! And I’d wear them in a lot more places if they weren’t already strictly dedicated to being a martial arts shoe.

Who Knew

I put these feather weight slips on and magic happened . Room the toes never knew, perked them right up. Them toes gave a shout out to the rest of the feet and off they went. The kitchen, garage, garden. No stopping them! Groceries, hardware store. Got home and the dogs wanted in on the fun. Off to the park. These kicks just work for my life and in style. Aptos rock.

My favorite go to shoe!

Tough. Really Tough shoes. My shoe of choice for running the mountains in the Chihuahuan desert. No laces and no hassles. Just pop them on and go. Also great 40 hour weekend hospital working shoes in black. My favorite work shoe too. They have enough protection in the toe to keep bad injuries from happening when a hospital bed or C-arm attempts to run over my foot.
