People sometimes ask us if we use leather in our sandals and the answer is as of now, in all of our sandals, we do not, and we don’t for a couple of reasons. One, we like having a product that if you’re vegan that you can wear. We’re not vegans ourselves but we like […]
Once you get used to wearing barefoot sandals for running or for walking or hiking or anything else, it’s pretty addicting. In fact, both my wife Lena and I have the same story. We started wearing the Xero Shoes that we made and then, after a couple of weeks, had some reason to put on […]
If you’re looking for a barefoot sandal for a beach wedding, then you’re in good company. We have all these pictures of entire wedding parties who have outfitted themselves in a pair of Xero Shoes because it seems like the right thing to do to wear a pair of sandals on a beach instead of […]

I’m the first one to admit it and I’m the first one that if the science comes out saying that everything that I’m telling you is complete nonsense, I’ll be shouting […]
