Why you’ll love Nexus Knit.

NEXUS KNIT – Athleisure Meets Barefoot-Inspired Comfort.

When you take an athletic design and give it Xero Shoes DNA – lightweight, flexible, foot-shaped – and add a breathable, 3D-knit upper, you get the Nexus Knit.

Whether you’re in the gym, taking a walk, going for a run or just hanging out with friends, you are going to love the look and feel of this shoe.

Just an amazing shoe!

A really sharp looking shoe

I love the super clean fresh look!

Very very comfortable!

Stylish Comfort That’s Ready for Anything.

The Nexus Knit may not be our lightest performance shoe, but it still comes in at only 9.2 oz (men’s 9). More importantly, it’s still built to tackle whatever you want to do in it and look great while you are.

And when it comes to comfort, the breathable 3D-knit upper with its booty construction envelops your foot, so you’ll enjoy a barely-there feeling.

We hope you like talking to strangers, because the Nexus Knit’s elegant, minimalist design will make them stop you on the street to ask, “Where do I get a pair of those?”

Nexus Knit for everything you do.

We Haven’t Sole-d Out 🙂

Don’t be fooled by what looks like a foam midsole on the Nexus Knit. What you’re seeing is actually a clever minimalist cup sole that wraps around the upper, creating a more familiar looking profile. You’ll still enjoy the responsiveness and ground feel of the FeelTrue™ outsole that helps your brain move your body efficiently, effectively, and most importantly, enjoyably.

Made to Last.

Like all Xero Shoes, Nexus has a 5,000 mile sole warranty to outlast typical running shoes that are supposed to be replaced after 200-500 miles.

Life Changing Comfort.

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 Nexus Knit. 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 Live Life Feet First!

Caring for your Nexus Knit

To clean shoes with a soft-bristled brush and dry detergent:

Remove loose dirt with a soft cloth.
Mix a little water with the white dry detergent
Use soft-bristled brush, dipped in water to gently scrub shoes.
Gently wipe away excess detergent with a dry cloth.

White shoes can get dirty! Please use dry detergent as needed.
We do not recommend putting the Nexus in the washing machine or dryer.

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.

Foot Skins!

Like them -- can feel the ground for better stability. Suggestion: Since they're a bit hard to get on, instead of one pull tab on the middle of the heel, which stretches the heel tighter, making it harder to slip on, how about two pull tabs on either side of the heel to help spread the heel out to make it easier to slip on. Hey, this innovation might be patentable! If so, and you do it, send me a pair as a thank you reward 🙂 Thank you and kind regards, Steve If

Comfortable but no ankle support and a bit longer than my other Xero shoes.

I like the feel and look, but I already twisted my ankle with a little bit of playing with my son outside. More support in the ankle and heel area would be great. I’ve had no issues with my prio neo. Also, they feel narrower and longer than my prios. I could have probably taken them a 1/2 size shorter.

Love Em

I spent more than double the price for Vivo’s in the past and they felt like far worse quality and fell apart within 1.5 years. These Xero shoes just LOOK durable, they’re far more fashionable, as well as comfortable. extremely happy with my purchase

Amazing (recommend half size down from regular)

Love the color scheme. I can’t stand all the neon that’s out there these days and I am too dirty to have anything with a white sole. I personally ordered a second pair a half size smaller which I love since they are very soft, snug, and pliable. The original (true) size was a bit too loose/floppy after a few uses and only fit with cushy socks. If anyone needs an 11 I have em so let me know 🙂

Great entry level barefoot shoes for gym

I like my shoes, the color and design is pretty minimalistic so that’s been awesome. I feel like a lot of barefoot shoes are clown like and these are subtle. I’m typically 10.5 Nike, 11 adidas. I bought 10.5 and they’re almost good, I notice my toes have a lot of room. It’s not an issue for working out or walking though but I can’t tell if they need to be snug by design or not. Maybe going down half a size helps? Tightening the shoes is the weird part. Not a huge issue but the shoes do bunch up by the tongue area that it can put weird pressure on the top of your foot if tightened too much. Overall good shoe!
