Cooler weather is finally here and it’s time to swap out your sandals for comfy, warm boots. Instead of turning to clunky boots that are hard to pack for fall travel or office wardrobe changes, or boots that pinch your toes together, consider Xero Shoes’ barefoot-inspired casual boots. Our boots are designed with a wide toe box and minimal sole, allowing your feet to move, bend, and flex naturally. Who says you can’t FEEL like you’re barefoot after the summertime?

 Research shows that just walking in minimalist shoes strengthens foot muscles as much as doing a foot-strengthening exercise program. If you struggle with plantar fasciitis, bunions, or just uncomfortable feet, Xero Shoes’ lightweight, comfortable fall boots are a great pick!

LEATHER BOOTS FOR LOOKING STYLISH

Tari Women’s Leather Boot 

The Tari is a minimal Chelsea-style boot for all occasions, made with sartorial detail. The full-grain leather upper feels as smooth as it looks, and tonal instep goring makes for easy on and off. The adjustable heel wrap helps stabilize your foot, and the flexible and durable FeelTrue® sole is lightweight at just 9.6 ounces each (W7).

COZY, FAUX FUR-LINED BOOTIES

Ashland Women’s Faux-Shearling Boot 

Our Ashland bootie is a sustainably-sourced cool weather bootie that takes natural comfort to the next level. This bootie is made with a water-repellant hemp upper and a vegan-friendly, faux-shearling lining. Your feet will stay warm all day long in this boot, whether you’re hanging in the house or bopping around town. 

YOUR MOST COMFORTABLE LACE-UP MID-HEIGHT BOOTS

Mika Women’s Mid-Height Boot

The Mika is a lightweight, lace-up hemp women’s mid-height boot that looks great dressed up or dressed down. This flexible, minimal mid-height boot features water-repellant canvas, perfect for the varying weather patterns in fall and winter. Stay warm thanks to a cozy flannel lining and stylish 70/30 poly/wool blend collar, and a heat-reflecting warming insole. Plus the lugged sole grips wet surfaces easily.

WARMEST BOOTS FOR SNOW

Alpine Snow Boot

The Alpine is a snow-friendly, waterproof, lightweight insulated boot. Whether you’re snowshoeing or relaxing apres ski, this snow boot keeps your feet warm. We designed this minimal snow boot with polyester insulation, a heat-reflective insole, and a fully seam-sealed lining.

While we update the Oswego for next season, we’re out of stock at XeroShoes.com

BUT you can find the Women’s Oswego at some REI stores and REI.com…

So head over to https://www.rei.com/product/177358/xero-shoes-oswego-shoes-womens to pick up a pair.

If you are anyone you know is in the EU, they can now buy Xero Shoes from our NEW website, XeroShoes.eu

We’re so excited to have this new site so our European Union customers can save time and shipping costs and VAT.

One thing to note for you barefoot and minimalist shoe lovers: Crazy as it may sound, if you’re in the UK, Norway, Switzerland or other European-but-non-EU coutries, it’ll probably be less expensive to order from our US-based website since the cost to ship into non-EU countries is often more than shipping from the US.

Since Xero Shoes started, a significant number of our customers have come from the EU, but many more didn’t order because of the extra time it takes for orders to get across the Atlantic, as well as delays that occurred once the products got to customs or to the local mail delivery service.

If you have any questions about our new site for barefoot-inspired shoes, boots and sandals, feel free to email our European Customer Happiness Team at support@xeroshoes.eu

It’s our Black Cyber Thankwansmaskahsaturversary & Warehouse Clearance Sale!

From now through November 30th, you can save up to 70% on select Xero Shoes products.

Act now because we WILL sell out of styles and colors and we’re not restocking during the sale.

Can you workout in bare feet?

Your Life California asked that to Xero Shoes CEO, Steven Sashen

To answer the question, think about baby feet.

Yes, baby feet… those cute things at the end of their legs that we like to tickle and nibble.

When a baby learns to walk, do you want to squeeze its toes, mess with its posture by elevating its heel, put it in stiff shoes that don’t let its feet bend and flex, get in the way of the sensations its feet are sending to its brain (so the brain can learn how to move)?

Of course not.

Well, that’s what most athletic shoes do to you!

There’s a reason that powerlifters deadlift in socks or bare feet.

Or why when we do pushups we spread our fingers (for balance and strength).

Treat your feet the same way.

Let them do what’s natural.

Xero Shoes give you that barefoot experience, but with a layer of protection and style.

What do you think?

Have you worked out in bare feet? Or Xero Shoes?

What are the Myths and TRUTH about being barefoot (whether you’re walking, running, climbing, lifting, or just getting into a store)?

Xero Shoes CEO, Steven Sashen, takes a look at a few of these on @KDVRDenver

* MYTH — being barefoot is dangerous. TRUTH — for a looong time, humans have been barefoot on terrains WAY worse than anything you’ll encounter. BUT… if you feel you want some protection and still have that fun, natural, barefoot-like experience, that’s why we made Xero Shoes.

* MYTH — you can’t go into public places, stores, and restaurants barefoot. TRUTH — while some of those may have *rules* about wearing shoes, there’s no law against it.

* MYTH — you can’t drive in bare feet. TRUTH — 100% false. There is no law in any state preventing you from doing so. It’s totally legal.

For those times where you want a bit of protection, some traction, and a stylish way to have a barefoot-inspired feeling, check out the performance and casual shoes, boots, and sandals at https://ctdev.guruslabs.com//shop/

DO NOT BUY Xero Shoes from these sellers!

In short, if you see NEW Xero Shoes for sale at significant discounts, they are not authorized sellers and you will most likely be giving your credit card information to thieves who are engaged in various types of ecommerce and credit card fraud.

The latest site to be violating our copyrights and stealing from potential customers is XeroShoesCanada.com. This is NOT an authorized seller of Xero Shoes. They do not own the product they claim to sell. If you purchase from them, you are putting your credit card data at risk

NOTE: If you do not see a retailer listed at https://ctdev.guruslabs.com//stores/ there is a high likelihood they are engaged in some sort of fraud. If you’re not sure, email our Customer Happiness Team — support@xeroshoes.com.

Similarly, there are a number of eBay “sellers” offering New Xero Shoes at significant savings. You can spot them because they’re offering multiple sizes and/or colors. They are engaging in fraudulent behavior, and do not own the product they claim to be selling. If you purchase from them, you will not receive your product and could be putting your identity at risk.
