Why You’ll Love X1 Low

X1 Low Basketball Shoe – Feel the Court Like Never Before

Connect to the court in the X1 Low – Xero Shoes’ barefoot basketball shoe. Designed to maximize your performance with a foot-shaped toe box for balance and comfort and a low-to-the-court outsole for quick cuts and pivots. The X1 is zero drop for natural posture and a powerful push-off.

The low ankle height offers the ultimate in mobility, perfect for athletes at the top of their game. Worn by pro ballers in the NBA and WNBA, the X1 can transform your game at any level of play.

I play with a lot of force, strength and power, and I’m gaining a lot by switching to the X1.

What NBA and WNBA players have to say about the X1

The Shoe That’s Changing the Rules of the Game

Fly Down the Court

Heavy shoes are a drag on your feet… and your game. At just 11.8 oz per size 9 men’s shoe, the X1 Low lets you have more energy for your sprints, cuts, and jumps. Feel faster and more explosive as you fly down the court.

Unlock Your Personal Best

Years in the making, and designed with players and trainers, the X1 is rooted in barefoot principles. In the X1 Low, your feet move naturally, so you can enjoy your full range of motion and strength.

Reaching a new personal best isn’t about working harder, it’s about moving better. The X1 keeps you close to the court with a low stack height and zero-drop heel so you can dominate with precision, control, and explosive power.

Dig Deeper

Stay Cool

Featuring a moisture-wicking and abrasion-resistant liner, the X1 Low keeps your feet cool and comfortable even when things heat up on the court.

Made to Last

You work and play hard. You can count on the X1 Low to work as hard as you do. It’s backed by our 5000-mile sole warranty – that’s a lot of runs up and down the court!

Free Your Feet

Peak performance comes from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex, and feel. Feel what you’ve been missing when you try a basketball shoe designed for how feet move, naturally.

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.

Great workout shoes

These shoes are perfect for workouts. I was looking for a shoe that was snug, had ample room in the toe box, and had enough cushioning for jumping and these check all of those boxes. These handle anything from squats to plyometrics. My only cons is the heel can dig into the Achilles and the soles pick up dust quite easily.

Big improvement for tennis

More substantial than Prio Neos, and more ground protection. I like them a lot! Shallow herringbone soles, but no slipping on the tennis court yet. Those Prio Neos, thin as they are, are indestructible! Two years and going strong. They worked for tennis but I think these X-1s are going to be better.

Finally!

I got into barefoot shoes about a year ago, and I love playing basketball, but there wasn’t ever a barefoot basketball shoe that was really good. These are top tier, good grip, good feel, good material, really good overall. I tried the Uncivilized 2.0, grip was nonexistent. These are 10/10.

Pickleball shoe

They work great in my limited use. I have a wide foot however they give enough room in the toe box. The grip on the outdoor court is great. Lateral movement is good, 5 ⭐️ so far.
