Zelen - Men - Xero Shoes

Product Description

“This is the best shoe Xero Shoes has come up with thus far. It’s made with recycled materials. The sole itself is smooth, but grippy and excellent for road-running. It’s a real sustainable knockout.” – Jarvis C.

Introducing the eco-friendly Zelen: comfort and sustainability come together in this zero-drop, minimalist road running shoe made with recycled materials.

WHAT MAKES THE ZELEN THE IDEAL SUSTAINABLE RUNNING SHOE?

EARTH-FRIENDLY. VEGAN-FRIENDLY. FOOT-FRIENDLY.

The Zelen features a breathable knit upper made with rPET recycled material and a silky-smooth sock liner to keep you cool and comfortable mile after mile.

The flexible yet durable 5.0 mm FeelTrue® sole features a tire-inspired tread to give you confident grip and control on asphalt, cement, and pavement – all without sacrificing the ground feel and feedback you love from Xero Shoes.

The tension straps, made from earth-friendly recycled materials, are adjustable for added support and stability, allowing you to push further and faster. At a lightweight 7.9 oz per shoe in a men’s 9, the barely-there feel of this sustainable runner will have you flying down the road yellin’ “Zelen”!

PERFORMANCE AND STYLE.

The all-new Zelen is an eco-friendly performance shoe that’s fast enough to tackle your next half-marathon yet stylish enough to pair with jeans, shorts, or just about any attire. Hit your next sprint in these, then hit your next guys’ night.

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 a run as they did at the beginning, you haven’t tried the Zelen.

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 supports proper posture. The low-to-the-ground design promotes perfect balance and agility. And our flexible soles give you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, and flex while you Feel the World^® in total comfort.

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.

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.

Caring for your Zelens

To clean your Zelens, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry.

My Favorite Barefootshoes Ever

Everything about this from fit, to weight, to flexibility is incredible! I love how the mesh over the toes allows my toes to fully splay without any irritation of the pinky toes and my "toe knuckles" don't get chaffed on top when I grip. These are the most comfortable barefoot shoes I have tried since the og Huaraches. Just gotta get that super grip michelin sole on these and they're be perfect lol

First Barefoot Shoe

The shoes are awesome! These are my first barefoot shoes and they fit amazing! The only down side for me, the sole slides almost immediately upon walking. I wear them without the soles inside as of now so it works out. But to go from never wearing barefoot to now wearing these without a sole can hurt at times based on the terrain. I definitely will be buying another pair though

Great first experience

Zolin is one of the best shoes if not the best shoe I’ve experienced for wide feet. What I like about Xero versus other great brands, is Zero offers the barefoot experience with a little more rubber between the foot and ground. This is a better starting point than say Vivo Barefoot. And Xero doesn’t lose the barefoot guidance with the extra rubber. As a gait and movement specialist I assess my clients in shoes to make sure the shoe is not hindering them neurologically.

Zelen Men

I have been wearing Hoka shoes for years. The last good one was the Bondi 3. They progressed to the Bondi 8. Caused me nothing but pain. Could not wear them. I put on the Xero shoes and discomfort stopped immediately. Still getting used to the barefoot feel and I am in no rush to put on slippers as this is an all day shoe for me. My wife ordered them for me and I couldn’t be happier! Rich Jackson
