Getting the right fit for your Xero Shoes
If you’ve ordered 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 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.

"Only worn them once so far, but they felt really comfy. I'm normally a 6. 5, but sized up to a 7 from advise given and found them to fit well - reasonably snug, but not tight feeling. Love that my toes don't feel squashed like in most shoes. I got the green and pink colourway and they are lovely. Look quite small too to say I sized up. Original bought as recommended as a good non-chunky flat shoe for rowing machine, but haven't used for that yet as they're too nice!"
"Perfect for running and everyday wear. Gorgeous colour! Same great fit as other Xeros (I size up on my usual UK size)."
