Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Kelso

This is my second pair of xero shoes. My other pair is the men's HFS (Zappos had nothing in women's sizes at the time). I wanted a pair that was a color, and I really liked these pale pink ones. I don't know if it's the difference between men and women's shoes, the difference between the styles, or both, but the men's HFS fit longer and narrower than these - these are boxier. My duck feet were still happy and didn't look freakishly wide, fortunately. Also, I don't love that these shoes are leather, mostly because they are a lot hotter to wear than whatever the uppers of the HFS are. That said, I wore them for three days on a trip to Toronto, we walked and biked a lot and these were very comfortable and cute worn with a skort. If this style came in something other than leather, I'd be in heaven.

I got the white ones with the navy detailing, and they're super cute, very comfy, and a surprising amount of support for barefoot shoes. There was no break in period, and I can literally be on my feet all day without discomfort. Cute enough to wear to work also on "casual" days.

I bought these shoes for Kung Fu since our studio requires shoes. That said, I had been looking for several months for a pair of shoes that would work for my feet since I have wide feet and high arches. Kung fu shoes were too narrow so I had resorted to using my regular sneakers which have a lot of support due to collapse arches. After a session where my foot was in pain for the entire week, I decided to try these. They were so comfortable and my feet had minimal pain afterwards. Because of the pale pink, I’ll also be wearing these to any work events that are business casual and I’ll be slowly converting myself to barefoot shoes to see if that will strengthen my feet and alleviate my pain. Regardless, the shoes work for what I purchased them for so I’m extremely happy.

This is my first time to try a barefoot shoe. I'm glad I sized up. I wear a 9.5 in Nike and a 40 in Birkenstock. I ordered a 10, as the 9.5 was sold out. I'm glad I did. If my toes/feet had already been used to barefoot shoes, I think I would have even been acceptable to wear a 10.5. The pink color is very light and will work well as a neutral. The suede is a nice quality. I didn't find them hot as I'm often choosing leather shoes. My feet felt good immediately in the heel and arch, though I think the balls of my feet may take some time to gain strength. I like my body posture when I wear them. I've only had them for a week, so I cannot speak to durability. I'm looking forward to them becoming a regular part of my wardrobe.

This type of shoe is new for me. I'm glad I ordered up a half size. I wear a 9.5 in Nike and a 40 in Birkenstock. The size 10 in this shoe was a good choice.

The toes of the shoes from the warehouse seemed to have some sort of scuffs from packing or something but didn't seem worn so dunno. Cute! I haven't tested to see how clean they stay. We shall see.

First time with this shoe concept and they work well.

I have high arches and achy feet, I have a lot of trouble finding comfortable shoes. I typically were a 9 or 8.5 shoe size, I ordered these in the 9 and they did feel a little short. They don't come in a 9.5 and a full size up would have been too long. I have been trying out the barefoot trend, and It has been helping me. These zero shoes are well made, flexible and have a thicker sole which would be good for outdoor activities. I did find the toe box to be very wide looking (not the greatest look). I didn't like the feel of the leather, and they felt a little stiff around the ankles. So I did return these shoes, but I do plan to try the Xero brand again.

These are great-- but because my feet are so flat-- the top of the shoe hit my ankle bone (painful) when I tried them on....so will need to go back.

Best thing about these shoes were the wide toe box but it runs a bit short. I ordered a 10-1/2 maybe an 11 would have been better. They are cute but have no arch support and looked a bit young for my taste (I am 67).

Fit was not true to size at all. Order 1 size larger at least. Not meant for wide feet.

Liked the shoes. Very comfortable when I first put them on. Felt like my weight was evenly distributed over whole leg and the pressure was taken off my feet. But even slowly building up wear time, after a couple weeks my knees hurt so much it was difficult to walk upstairs.

These shoes are incredibly warm. The wide toebed in nice however I wore them on a warm day and my feet were on fire. Now I have a shoe in my closet I’ll probably never wear. I have the Xero snow shoes and love them. They are the best snow boots comfort wise I have owned. These have basically no support but I was expecting that from a Xero drop shoe. If I could return after wearing these once outside I would. The light pink also gets dirty easily.
