About Xero Shoes
Xero Shoes designs and sells barefoot and minimalist footwear for men, women and children, sold direct through its own website. The range covers everyday casual shoes, sandals and boots, as well as footwear built for specific activities such as running, training, pickleball, basketball, hiking and water sports. Products are organised by category, by activity and by size, including dedicated lines for little kids and big kids, alongside charms and accessories for customising sandals.
The brand's positioning centres on the idea of barefoot movement, with footwear designed to let the foot move naturally rather than provide conventional structured support. Xero Shoes provides supporting resources on its site, including guidance on sizing and fitting, DIY sandal kits, and educational content addressing common assumptions about arch support and natural running. Alongside footwear sales, the company maintains a blog, press section and store locator, and also lists career opportunities on its site.
