Product Description

“The Zelen is a great road running shoe. I love that they look classy enough that can also wear them in jeans and around town. Plus, it’s made with eco-friendly materials!” – Crissy D.

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 6.5 oz per shoe in a women’s 7, 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 outfit. Hit your next sprint in these, then hit your next girls’ 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.

Best sneakers ever

I adore these shoes. I have chronic pain and mobility issues in my right ankle, and most other athletic shoes exacerbate the problem with their too-thick soles. I love my Xero shoes: my gait feels more natural, my toes can spread out, my feet can flex, and I can feel the ground under my feet. I use these as cross trainers and for gym workouts, and they’re simply the best!

Awesome in form of a shoe!

I fell in love with these shoes on my first short run on the road. These are amazing. They fit my narrow foot while allowing a spacious toe box. Light weight and flexible. They make me excited to wear them prior to a run. I would also wear them as normal shoes. Relaxing for a long road trip. I highly recommend buying these for long distance road races.

Hard Floors - comfortable shoes

I wore these shoes all day on my tile floors cooking for Thanksgiving. Fifteen (15) hours on tile and no significant feet or back pain. These are great. I wish they would make a slightly dressier pair that I could wear in my office in a loafer or even elevated sneaker....

Buy them your feet will thank you

First of all the answer is yes but the shoes! I just recently changed over zero drop shoes. September 5th to be exact. Anyways I tried a different brand lower quality (the bottom of the cheap shoes didn’t last) because I wasn’t sure if this type of shoe would be for me. I’m over 200lbs and I was so worried a shoe like this wouldn’t be able to support me the whole day. I stand at work the whole time I workout and I run outdoors. My feet already hurt so bad using a shoe with cushion so I couldn’t wrap my head around how I shoe with no cushion could be better. But it is! Once I started to wear zero drop shoes my feet no longer hurt after a long day of standing at work. I was in disbelief. My first pair WASN’T Xero so the shoes didn’t last very long like I said. I wish I would have just bought these from the beginning. I saw they were having a sale and I decided this was my time to buy a great quality shoe. Which these shoes definitely are! They are my favorite shoes to wear literally anywhere. I literally don’t even care if my shoes don’t match my outfit because these shoes are 100% amazing. So comfortable. I decided to use these to run my first ever half marathon and my feet loved it so much. I couldn’t believe my feet didn’t during or after my race. Should you buy Xero yes absolutely 100% Your feet will thank you and I promise once you go Xero you won’t ever look back! Also I just placed another order for a casual Xero shoe and I’m excited!

Zoom with Zelen

The Zelen is my fourth pair of Xero shoes and I think the best looking so far. I have worn the Prio and HFS as well. I find that when I do not wear my Xero shoes between training runs and races as my every day shoe, my toes feel some serious discomfort when I run. These shoes always fit perfectly right out of the box. I have narrow feet too, so don’t let people tell you that Xero shoes are only for people with wide feet. Wear these shoes for the health of your feet and your whole body posture will thank you.
