“The Kelso is really comfortable. The leather and suede is really high quality, they don’t need any breaking in. They look sharp!” – Chris W.

The Kelso is a fresh take on the classic court-style shoe you’ve always loved. Enjoy it’s sleek full-grain leather upper and stitched soft suede accent panels, along with patterned pinhole vents, and a moisture-wicking mesh lining to keep you cool.

WHY IS THE KELSO YOUR NEW FAVORITE COURT-STYLE SHOE?

LIGHTWEIGHT PROTECTION THAT FEELS JUST RIGHT.

The Kelso features a wider, foot-shaped toe box to let your toes spread and relax. It has a flexible 6.0mm FeelTrue^® sole with a herringbone tread pattern to provide ground-gripping performance on the court without sacrificing the all-day comfort you’d expect from Xero Shoes.

While you’re taking a stroll through town or tearing up the court, the lightweight (10.6 ounces each for a Men’s 9) Kelso will speak for itself.

GOES ANYWHERE. GOES WITH EVERYTHING.

The all-new Kelso is a casual minimalist shoe that is grippy enough for tennis matches, yet more than stylish enough to pair with jeans, khakis, shorts, or any casual attire. Enjoy your midday tennis break and shift straight back to work all in the Kelso.

WE MAKE ACTIVE SHOES SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Kelso.

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.

All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and safely Feel the World® in total comfort.

FAQs

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?

Really good

My 4th pair of zeros and I really enjoy them. Got the hfs for running, prio for general use and I'd got the Dillon for casual shoes, but they get dirty so easy. The Kelso feels more durable with the construction and materials. The toe box isn't quite as wide as prio and I was scared they were a tiny bit too short at first, but with laces tied they feel great. Comfortable for 12 hour stretches and they look pretty good, as far as barefoot style shoes go.

I love the xero brand, and i got these on sale which was nice, but for this specific model, I was surprised at how thick the sole was when I got them. I've used other xero shoes in the past, and was surprised that these were pretty thick. But good shoes for what i use them for otherwise.

Xero Shoes

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the shoes overall! We completely understand your surprise about the thicker sole, especially if you're used to the more minimal feel of other Xero Shoes. Each model is designed with a specific balance of comfort and protection in mind, so the sole thickness can vary. We're happy that they’re working well for your needs, but we’ll definitely take your feedback into consideration as we continue to refine our designs. If you ever need a more minimalist option, don’t hesitate to check out our other styles!

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear the fit wasn’t quite right for you.

Not quite wide enough

It seems that after years of wearing Xero and Altra wide shoes my feet have splayed and are now too wide for the Xero shoes. The Xero's no longer fit. I liked them and wish I could still wear them. They were my favorite shoes. Altra wide versions still fit.
