Getting the right fit for you in your Xero Shoes
If you’ve ordered or are looking to order shoes…
Shoe fitting is more about personal preference than geometry - 3 people with identical feet, could try the same shoe, and they could have 3 different opinions about whether the shoe fits.
So, we recommend trying them on to see what you think. If you’re planning to wear your shoes with socks, try them on that way. If you want a more barefoot experience, you can try them in bare feet or with a very thin sock. You can also experiment with removing the sockliner (insole) for an even “more barefoot” experience or to help get your ideal fit.
If you ordered or are looking to order sandals…
Similarly, length is a bit of personal preference. Some people want their toes up to the front edge, some people like them slightly further back, and some people even wear their sandals so that their toes hang slightly over the front edge — it’s entirely up to you!
You can use the size guide below to get started, the CM measurements are for your foot length so you can find your UK size needed. Check out the fit advice on the product page, some of our styles may require sizing up or down - this is based on our customer feedback to help guide you to the best fit.
We recommend measuring from heel to longest toes on both feet and using the longest length when ordering for the most comfortable fit. Most people's feet aren't perfectly symmetrical, so it's very possible your one foot is slightly longer, wider, or shaped differently than your other
What size should I order?
We recommend starting with your usual size, but here are a few general guidelines to help you decide:
Wear a whole size? Stick with your regular size.

"Brilliant"
"Absolutely incredible I haven’t had them for long so I can’t comment on durability but already in love. I have been out hiking through the woods, crossing streams with ease and climbing over things. Also very nice to put on at camp after wearing boots allows your feet to breathe. Definitely would recommend"
"Better than expected- Aqua cloud coddled both feet over an active weekend of indoor (gym) & outdoor (semi-rugged rambling) activity in cloudy, rainless weather. So, Aqua cloud works as advertised, & I could still walk normally in drizzly rain. Anything more than a drizzle & your soles will slip around, so Aqua doesn’t mean waterproof."
"Comfortable & durable, equally- I’ve indulged in all-day wear of Genesis & Aqua Cloud as if they were part of my feet. This latter statement is as amazing as it sounds. However, Xero needs to offer the same colours & variety (leather Genesis, e. g. ) for men & women. It’s a typical retailer’s misconception that males don’t like to show their feet- Hence only black & white models. Yet Xero shoes are sold on the basis they are not black & white- Yes, the male & female foot are differently structured, but one would have thought shoe manufacturers inc. Xero understand that many men today (& probably also yesterday, cultural constrains aside) want to show their feet no less than many women."
