I will never not own a pair of Oswegos after checking these out. – Drew P.

Think “High-Performance Comfort”

What happens when you combine the slipper-like comfort of a water-resistant knit upper, with the lightweight performance sole from our Speed Force?

You get Oswego — a casual slip-on that’s ready for MUCH, much more.

“Just-Right” Protection:

The Oswego uses the 4.5mm FeelTrue® rubber from our Speed Force, so you get great protection while still getting the ground feedback that your feet love. The removable 3.5mm insole lets you choose between more or less “barefoot feel.”
 
Lightweight

A men’s 9 is only 6.8 ounces each – you’ll barely notice you have them on.

Secure-feeling
Our Huarache sandal-inspired heel and instep straps hold your foot securely – with or without socks – while keeping your toes free to move.
 
Plus, the Oswego is made from 100% vegan-friendly materials.
Do your feet feel better at the end of the day than they did at the beginning?
 
If not, you haven’t been wearing the Oswego.
 

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 Oswego Shoes

To clean your Oswego shoes, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting the Oswego 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.

Oswego!!!

I love these shoes. I love just walking in them. After wearing these for sometime, regular shoes started feeling strange. I like have the feedback of the ground. I love playing drum set with them on as they allow me to really feel and grip the pedals. I wore these shoes before I bought the Alpine and before I bought the lite-hiking boot or the Denver … So I wore them up in Northern Michigan with wool socks and they did great even in some thick snow and it being very cold outside. I also wore them on a frozen pond with wool socks while my kiddos ice-skated and they kept my feet warm for the majority of the time. I also liked that I could feel the ice batter. I like walking out in the field behind my house as I can feel the topography of the ground. I did hotrod the shoe laces with no-tie elastic laces which are nice. They in some ways look kind of like water shoes, but I feel that is a brain shift perspective for people use to seeing thicker soled shoes. I did play volleyball on a coed team for a couple of months in them. I think my problem was that my feet were not in shape to be jumping around in thin soled shoes. What I love most is that they feel like sporty rubber soled moccasins. Keep up the great work!!!

Most comfortable shoe I've ever owned.

I've had the Oswego now for 9 months. I loved it so much I've bought several other Xero styles since. But the Oswego is hands down the best and most comfortable all-around show I've ever owned.

breathable shoe

I love xero shoes. I have about 6 pair. These Oswegos are my dressier shoes. I like them except the black part around the top can feel a little snug when my ankle swells.

super comfortable but tread wore too quickly

i have a few pairs of xero shoes and these have been my faves. they're super comfortable and look great but it looks like they're discontinuing them, which is a major disappointment. the only reason i gave them 4 stars is because the tread wore down far too soon, imo. i really hope they change their minds and bring these back but just improve the tread life.

Comfortable, but ...

My 2nd pair of Xero shoes (1st pair was speed force). 3 points where these were less than ideal compared to my speed forces: 1. Compared to the speed force, the last on this was smaller for the same size (I feel my toes hit the front of the shoes). While I don't run in these, I felt myself scrunching my toes when walking - defeats the purpose of barefoot shoes in my opinion. 2. The insole inches backwards within the shoe as I walk - an issue that I never have on my speed force. 3. These shoes felt extremely warm / not ventilated compared to my speed forces. Works great for winter, but not so much for the rest of the year.

So Sad - Tried to Like These

Very Poor - These have never fit me correctly even though the site states true to size. Also I have never been able to just slip these on - it takes lots to get them to even go on my foot, regardless of weather I wear socks or not. My other pair of Xero shoes (Hana-Mens) were AWESOME. I was expecting the same feel and fit.

Great shoes!

I really did end up falling in love with these shoes. I have had many shoes, steel toe, that I thought felt good, but when I got these, they felt so much better.....in time. At first they really didn't feel to great causing some issues with the back of my heel. I work from home and walk around bare foot all day so I'm not exactly sure why the back of my heel hurts with these, but that really is my only complaint. That and my pants are now too long. Haha! I like how they feel walking with them, the connection to the ground seems better, the comfort is great. I definitely plan on getting another pair in the future. For me, I had to go a half a size bigger, but after exchanging them, all was good. It is definitely a new way to learn to walk, but I want to switch over to these full time, or a shoe like them, yard shoe, safety show, etc, so that way I'm not going back to the old support type shoes. Thanks for a great product!

Functional and Fashionable

These shoes are both functional and fashionable. I feel like I am walking barefoot, while at the same time … looking great while I am out with friends.
