Product Description

“These pretty much never leave my feet. They keep up with my fastest, sweatiest workout classes, but also look great with every outfit I own.” – Krissy K.

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.

NEXW-BLCK_Nexus-Knit_Black_Hawaii_2423

Stylish Comfort That’s Ready for Anything

The Nexus Knit may not be our lightest performance shoe, but it still comes in at only 7.4 oz. (W7). 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?”

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.

WE MAKE PERFORMANCE 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 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!

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

  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft cloth.
  2. Mix a little water with the white dry detergent
  3. Use soft-bristled brush, dipped in water to gently scrub shoes.
  4. Gently wipe away excess detergent with a dry cloth.
  5. Repeat until satisfied.
  6. Air dry shoes completely.

Please note:

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

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.

Okay, feels in between sizes

I'm normally a size 7 and while they sort of fit, I feel like as I walk, my foot starts to slide forward and toes touch the front of shoe which is a harder material. Tend to have to slide my foot back to give toes more room as it gradually moves. And I feel like 7.5 may be too big. Haven't tried running in them yet but they are quite flat and would just use these on days I'm lifting. Feet felt a bit sore the first day of wearing them around the house but perhaps I'm just not used to minimal type shoes.

Xero Shoes

Thank you for sharing your experience with the sizing and fit of the shoes. It sounds like you're in a bit of a dilemma with the sizing between 7 and 7.5. It's common to experience some adjustment when transitioning to minimalist shoes, especially if you're not accustomed to them. Regarding the sliding forward of your foot, it might be worth considering trying the 7.5 size to see if it provides a better fit without feeling excessively large. Soreness during the initial wear is also typical as your feet adjust to the minimal support. If you plan to use them primarily for lifting, it's important that they provide a snug and secure fit to ensure stability during your workouts. If possible, you might want to try both sizes side by side, perhaps wearing them around the house for a bit before making a final decision. If you continue to have concerns or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help ensure you find the right fit for your needs.

Love the shoes but tread is slick

So comfy but the tread pattern on these is very slick in any wet condition on floors.

Nice design but had some flaws

I initially purchased the Nexus Knit in my usual size in Xero Shoes because they were well designed and I wanted to buy something that looked sporty but casual at the same time. I tried them out for 2 days but I found that it was too tight around the metatarsal area and I could not adjust the width with the laces. I could not stand the feeling of these shoes rubbing on my toes anymore so I returned them. I wanted to like them but they were not wide enough, which is a shame. I saw that there were other reviews echoing the same issue about the width, so I hope there will be improvements to these shoes in the near future!

Xero Shoes

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Nexus Knit shoes. We're sorry to hear that they didn't fit comfortably and that you had to return them. Your feedback about the tightness around the metatarsal area and the lack of adjustability with the laces is valuable to us, and we'll certainly take it into consideration for future improvements. We're continuously working to enhance the fit and comfort of our products, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
