“This slip on is iconic but with the minimalist design and barefoot feel.“
– Chris K.

Aptos may have a familiar look, but wait until you slip it on and FEEL it.

With its lightweight, hemp canvas upper, wide toe box, and new grippy sole, the comfort is unmatched.

We named this shoe after a casual, cool California beach town, and when you slip on the Aptos, you’ll feel that “walking on the beach at sunset” vibe no matter where you take it.

“Just-Right” Protection

With a grippy 6mm FeelTrue® rubber sole, you’ll get the protection you want while still getting the ground feedback that your feet love. Slip out the removable 3mm insole when your mood says “more barefoot feel, please.”

Lightweight

A men’s size 9 Aptos is just 7.4 ounces each – you’ll barely notice you’re wearing them.

Easy on and off

Elastic sections in the upper mean you can slide in and out of the Aptos with ease (no hands!), but still have a secure and comfy fit.

Plus, the Aptos is made from 100% vegan-friendly materials.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day than they did at the beginning, you haven’t been wearing the Aptos.

Life-Changing comfort and superior performance come from using your feet naturally.

That’s what Xero Shoes let you do.

Natural Fit. Natural Motion. Natural Feel.

Plus Xero Shoes are backed with a 5,000-mile sole warranty.

Caring for your Aptos

To clean your Aptos, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting the Aptos in the washing machine or dryer.

Do you ship internationally?

We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

Too bad it is discontinued

I first purchased this pair a few months ago to see if I would like Xero's product philosophy. After walking around on a daily basis in various parts of Guatemala and Mexico, I can confirm they held up well. The quality of the material was good enough for me to consider purchasing a discontinued unit so I could continue wearing them after my first pair wears out. Maybe Xero will consider bringing it back someday.

Comfortable

Nice shoes, super light. Closest shoes to not wearing shoes. They look nice, a neutral look suitable to most outfits.

Great

They're the cheapest ones, so I was a bit worried, but it turns out they're great! It's satisfying to feel every pebble on the ground, it just feels natural. I would have gotten half a size larger though, because I'm size 11 and I think a little bit longer would be better.

Great Shoes

The grip of the soles is great. I’ve ordered 3 pair. I’m on my 2nd but took advantage of the clearance price. I hope they keep this similar style.
