Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Oswego

This is a quote from a friend at a sports game. I said, oh yes they are! Some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. I have been in Xero shoes for about 3 months now, and my feet feel more muscular (I know weird - right!) It takes a little getting used to, but it seems like this is more my feet getting to their natural strength. Now it feels really weird to wear anything else! #livefeetfirst

I have challenged feet following a motorcycle crash more then 25 years ago and many surgeries. These shoes are a lifesaver. For the first time in years I can stand and walk for extended periods and not suffer during and after. Thank you for making these shoes.

I work 24 hour shifts on a Labor & Delivery unit. These shoes are comfortable enough to keep me on my feet during the long shifts. My socks have yet to become wet or stained from the bodily fluids I work around. Even more importantly, when I have cleaned the shoes with the hospital supplied bleach wipes, it has not effected the color or efficacy of the shoes. These are not quite as comfortable as my favorite Xero shoes, the Prio. I wasn't expecting them to be. It's very clear on the website that the Oswego has a 4.5mm sole and the Prio has 5.5mm sole, so I was expecting a difference. But the quality of the water resistance makes these ideal for my work environment,.

...exactly.!. I have to THINK about them, ' cos I don't feel them on my feet... Once again- just a great shoe!.. Thank Yous! PeaceLightLove amshell yogi raramuri

I love these - in fact, Im wearing them as I type! Sizing was off, I had to replace my original pair with half size up, but now, theyre perfect for anything! Dressy enough for casual outings or the office, comfortable enough for travel, walks of just around the house (I wear shoes in my house)

What a great shoe! Flexible and light while still hugging your foot the way a good trail show should. Lets you feel the world under your feet but gives you the confidence to get after it. Styling is on point too, kinda minimalist but funky all the same. Could t be happier with them.

These shoes are super stylish, exceedingly comfortable, have durable soles with great traction. They weigh next to nothing, which has felt very similar to barefoot for walks, hikes and runs. (Although I like to keep these as street shoes, and mainly use my Hanas or Ztrail for runs/hikes) I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend.

First pair were too small so lean bigger if anything. I really enjoy these from the looks to the feel sliding them on and off and doing almost anything in them

Love these shoes :) I am on my feet a lot of the day, and these are perfect :)

I love the Oswegos! I plan on only buying shoes from Xero from now on.

This is rather strange shoe for me. There is no tongue and getting them on is bit of a chore. Once on they are very comfortable after you get used to the low heel position. I may add a bit of a lift to the heel. Not sure about that yet. Their web site offers some suggestions. I can probably say more about the shoes in a year or two.

I was expecting an easy slip on shore I could wear with a sock. I would describe them more as an active sandal. They are great for warm days with shorts but they are very snug and i went up a size because I normally wear a half size and I live in high elevation where its usually cold.

I threw out all my heeled shoes and boots and went totally minimalist, zero drop footwear. My nerve pain in legs disappeared, my balance and ankle strength returned. At 75 I can walk good distances without lower back pain. But, the best part wearing Zero footwear is I feel no need for back surgery which was recommended.

I needed new work shoes. Ive been using the Prio shoes for several years and the sole was starting to disconnect. They are still comfortable and fun but it was time to get some new ones. I liked that I would be able to slip these on. It was suggested to order my normal size, but they are a little snug. I would have been curious how a 1/2 size up would have fit. I didnt return them because my Prios started to feel loose after a lot of wear so Im hoping these will fit less tight as they get broken in.

I really like the shoes, the only problem I have is that the inserts do not stay in the shoe. When I walk the inserts work there way up my heal and out of the shoe. To fix the issue I had to remove the inserts, other than that I wear them everywhere.

Fit is a bit too snug for someone with a wide foot. Comfortable to wear but the shoelaces will not stay tied due to type of round lace employed and the fixed location where the lace passes through upper to be tied. Even double knots come undone. I would not purchase them again.

Look great and the material is great, but an 11 was too small and 11 and a half was too big. I have 3 other pairs of xero's all in 11 that fit perfect. Is it possible to get consistent sizing throughout the lineup?

I purchased these not realizing there was no tongue and that the strings were mostly functionless. I have occasional swollen feet so these do not 'give' the way other models do.

Had to return because I could not get my foot in the shoe. Unless you have a low instep you can’t get through the small opening.

I was looking forward to getting my zero

Pros Easy to slip on No tying needed Cons No support really After sweating, the insole comes out with your foot every time Not for physical activity - no support laterally and no cushion vertically Ugly

Shoes look nice but sizing is inconsistent and I couldn't get shoes to fit. After 3 tries, I traded them in for a pair of Hanas which I like very much.
