Product Description

“The Zelen is a great road running shoe. I love that they look classy enough that can also wear them in jeans and around town. Plus, it’s made with eco-friendly materials!” – Crissy D.

Introducing the eco-friendly Zelen: comfort and sustainability come together in this zero-drop, minimalist road running shoe made with recycled materials.

WHAT MAKES THE ZELEN THE IDEAL SUSTAINABLE RUNNING SHOE?

EARTH-FRIENDLY. VEGAN-FRIENDLY. FOOT-FRIENDLY.

The Zelen features a breathable knit upper made with rPET recycled material and a silky-smooth sock liner to keep you cool and comfortable mile after mile.

The flexible yet durable 5.0 mm FeelTrue® sole features a tire-inspired tread to give you confident grip and control on asphalt, cement, and pavement – all without sacrificing the ground feel and feedback you love from Xero Shoes.

The tension straps, made from earth-friendly recycled materials, are adjustable for added support and stability, allowing you to push further and faster. At a lightweight 6.5 oz per shoe in a women’s 7, the barely-there feel of this sustainable runner will have you flying down the road yellin’ “Zelen”!

PERFORMANCE AND STYLE.

The all-new Zelen is an eco-friendly performance shoe that’s fast enough to tackle your next half-marathon, yet stylish enough to pair with jeans, shorts, or just about any outfit. Hit your next sprint in these, then hit your next girls’ night.

WE MAKE PERFORMANCE SHOES SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of a run as they did at the beginning, you haven’t tried the Zelen.

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex, and feel.

All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax. A non-elevated “zero drop” heel supports proper posture. The low-to-the-ground design promotes perfect balance and agility. And our flexible soles give you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, and flex while you Feel the World^® in total comfort.

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.

After you purchase a gift certificate, you’ll be able to enter an email address for the recipient.

Caring for your Zelens

To clean your Zelens, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry.

sizing is wrong so is the company return policy

The size was too small even though i normally wear a size 8. I didn’t love the way they look and what’s worse is that the store policy is to charge you for returns, which is unfair considering there aren’t any stores where you can try them on.

Great Everyday Shoes

I have 5 pairs of Xero shoes - these are my "suburban" sneakers and they're great. Super comfy, wide enough for my super wide feet, and breathable! My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I fear I can't put these in the wash like many other barefoot shoes I've bought. The cork is a little bit delicate and cleaning might be a spot-treat only deal.

Excellent shoe.

This is my first pair of Xero shoes. I’m recovering from bunionectomy surgery and I needed a shoe that would accommodate my new foot alignment as well the remaining, post-op swelling. These shoes are perfect in both regards. Both my feet are comfortable. My walking gait feels great as I continue to heal, and I feel like I’m walking on the beach. I’m happy with my decision to give Xero shoes a try.

Love these shoes!

I bought the cork in a 9, they're amazing! They look SO good. I haven't ran in them yet because honestly I don't want to get them dirty, they're so cute! I might have to get two pairs. One for running and the second for everyday use. I'm usually an 8.5/9 and the 9 fits great.

Obsessed with these shoes!!

The zelen gives plenty of room for my toes to spread out, while still being a very cute shoe! I went with the cork color and I find myself wearing these shoes with everything. This is my first time wearing minimalist, zero-drop footwear and my feet are loving it. I feel more stable and I'm having less hip and foot pain. I recommend giving these a try! They are even cuter in person. They fit true to size for me.
