Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Genesis

Bought them as a gift for my sister. She literally only wears this and Asics sneakers, pretty comfortable for her.

These shoes are true to size! Bought them as a gift for a friend. She is an outdoor person, walks a lot, always looking for ways to be connected with nature and these were her second pair, NEVER takes them off, truly comfortable.

These sandals were my first foray into any type of minimalist or zero drop footwear and I am very happy with them. Took some adjustment to get a good fit but it didn't take long, and I have been using them almost every day since I received them. They work very well for running and walking, but do keep in mind due to the nature of these they are not so great in varied terrain/activities where you may have more lateral movement (they're not necessarily intended for that any way). I am extremely happy with them so far, and will definitely be getting more Xero Shoes in the future!

I love these. I am new to minimalist shoes, but I am usually barefoot or in flat sandals, so It wasn't difficult to adjust. I love how they feel; they are quick and easy to put on—great everyday shoes for a busy mom.

I used the sizing guide on the Xero website to find my shoe size - which ended up being the same as my usual street size. The fit was just right. I can only walk about 1.5 miles in these before my feet get tired, but I am new to minimalist shoes and I'm looking forward to helping my feet get stronger with these shoes.

These are cute, but the super thin sole makes them pretty unusable most of the time. I like the flip-flop-ness of the design, but because there’s just one toe hold, the front of the sole catches and bends back while walking even if you’re not a foot dragger. This is inconvenient and painful. Perhaps if you’re a heel striker these would work better for you, but as a midfoot striker I can’t wear these much. They’re for very short distances due to the super thin sole.

Because there is only a thin rope holding the foot to the footbed, they were not comfortable for me, even just walking around in my house. In addition, the rope on the left sandal is damaged. I’ve included a picture below.
