Enjoy the natural feeling of bare feet
Xero Shoes was founded in 2009 in the United States. Xero Shoes specializes in making barefoot shoes suitable for running, but the brand's selection also includes footwear for the gym and everyday use, from sandals to winter shoes.
Xero Shoes shoes are designed and made out of love for the sport, the founders of the brand , Steven Sashen and Lena Phoenix, noticed in their own everyday life that barefoot running improves running technique and reduces strain injuries. This inspired them to develop a brand that could help other runners as well.
Barefoot shoes from Xero Shoes have a thin and flexible sole that allows the nerve endings of the soles of the feet to feel the soil. The bottom of the shoe is flat, so it does not expose the foot to wrong positions, which could strain the knees and hips, for example. In addition, the wide last offers enough space for the toes, so that their natural spread improves balance.
