Product Description

“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.

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.

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

Caring for your Kelsos

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

What to wear with jeans when you can’t wear boots?

Love the style of this shoe. I try to keep these clean and use them to dress up a pair of jeans when my boots are just to hot to wear. I get compliments everytime I wear them. Love the fit and look for this classic!

Excellent Shoe

These have been a great shoe so far. I'm only using them as a walking/wear to work shoe, but they've been comfortable. Look forward to getting another style soon.

I absolutely L-O-V-E my new Kelsos! 5⭐️‘S ! The most comfortable

I’ve been wearing Xero shoes for five years now! Exclusively… I don’t wear anything else. I own 8 different styles, one for every situation. I can’t express enough just how much I appreciate Xero Shoes for your hyper focus when it comes to design and function. Just brilliant! Anyone reading this… if you’ve not yet tried Xero Shoes, What are you waiting for?!?! Don’t take it from me … try em .. let them do the talkin and get yourself to walking, running, hiking, climbing, dancing, whatever it is you do! It will soon become your shoe as they’ve become for me! I’m a 72 year old very active guy and Xero has put me back on the path! Thank you Xero and keep up the GREAT work!

They're great!. But by the time I get them on my feet on Canadian soil, the price has doubled, with the exchange, shipping and some kind of tax that the post office adds on. You need a Canadian outlet somewhere. Then I'll buy 6 pairs at once. Corry

Life changing!

Being someone who has suffered from severe foot pain my whole life, finding this shoe has been life changing. I use them as court shoes for pickleball and they are a game changer. As soon as I can I will be getting a pair for everyday wear! Thanks for the great product! Keep up the good work!
