Lena and I started Xero Shoes out of a corner of a spare room on November 23rd, 2009… we thought, “Maybe it’ll generate enough money for a car payment, and we’ll get some minimalist/barefoot running sandals onto a few people’s feet.”
We even had a debate about whether to buy a folding table and take all of our Vibram rubber and Home Depot-bought laces off the floor.
But by January, only 6 weeks later, it was clear that Xero was our full-time job, and helping people experience the benefits and fun of natural, barefoot-inspired movement was going to be our life. And, since then, over 150,000 people in 94 countries have swapped out their heavy, motion-controlled shoes for Xero Shoes and done everything from walking on the beach to tackling a CrossFit workout to running an ultramarathon… or just hanging out with friends.
Xero has grown thanks to all of our FOXes (Friends of Xero) and their willingness to stop and answer the question from a stranger, “Hey, where did you get those shoes!?”
To express our gratitude and celebrate our anniversary, which coincides with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday, and all of the present-building holidays, plus the fact that we want to clear out some of our 2016 inventory in advance of getting our 2017 products, we’re having a HUGE Black Cyber Kwansmaskahverary Sale and Sweepstakes.
You can get our shoes and sandals for up to 70% off and enter our sweepstakes to win a $25, $50, or $100 gift certificate. We’re giving away 3 more $25 GCs to the people who leave our top 3 favorite comments, too.
