Caring for your Melbourne Shoes

Since the Melbourne has a leather upper, it’s a good idea to use a leather conditioner every few months, or as needed if the leather looks dry or dull.

To clean your Melbournes, use any commercially available leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner. For tough spots, gently scrub with a warm, damp cloth or damp soft bristle brush and allow to air dry. Then follow up with a leather conditioner.

WARNING: It is possible to over-condition, which may result in the leather looking and feeling greasy or oily.

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.

sole is coming off

I have hardly worn the boots and the sole is already starting to unglue itself on the front of the right one. Also the pull loop got ripped off one time when I put them on.

A love-hate relationship

I was so excited to finally find a barefoot Chelsea boot. I bought these as my winter time work shoe here in Alaska. I work an office job 90% of the time but walking through the snow between the house, car, and office I wanted a good boot. After only a few months the sole had started to separate from the boot at the back. By then Xero has discontinued the Melbourne (due to quality issues?) and there still weren't any other options on the market for men. They offered credit if I returned the boots but without another option on the market I used shoe goo on that section instead. Since then the fronts of both boots have separated from the sole and I am looking to taking them to a boot repair place at this point in hopes they can work some magic on them. Other than the sole separation issue the rest of the boot seems well built. The bottoms of the soles are wearing well and the leather is in good shape. The pull tab on one of the boots did rip off within weeks of use. Not as big a deal but... I really wish I could give this boot a better review. I've had Xero sandals since before they were called Xero with many many miles on them. I'm now hesitant to buy more Xero products even though I am very temped by their Z-Trail or Z-Trek sandals. I'll stay away from their shoes for now.

Complicated sizing

Shoes look nice and of good quality but: 1) the sole seems quite stiff for a barefoot shoe (but I didn't get to actually wear them), 2) sizing is incredibly complicated - I looked through all the website to find out the right size and still the ordered one is too small. There is no size template for Melbourne model, sizing info offers just a conversion chart, however, if you look at the JP size, it's quite close in centimeters (but again - close not precise), and this model does NOT run large - it might be true to size or even run small. My advice for Xero Shoes would be to just show precise inner length of each model and size not use templates + sizing info + tips for the model (and still get the wrong size). Sure, I could've contacted support to find my perfect size but that's just not a customer friendly practice, especially when there is clearance and some models sell out quickly. I am considering whether to send the boots back and lose 20 euros in delivery and return or return them for store points, however, I won't order again until the sizing is a bit more understandable.
