Product Description

“These are super comfortable, they have really nice leather and ventilation. I got a lot of compliments on them today!” – Lindsay M.

The Kelso is a fresh take on the classic court-style shoe you’ve always loved. Enjoy it’s sleek full-grain leather upper and stitched soft suede accent panels, along with patterned pinhole vents, and a moisture-wicking mesh lining to keep you cool.

WHAT MAKES THE KELSO YOUR NEW FAVORITE COURT-STYLE SHOE?

LIGHTWEIGHT PROTECTION THAT FEELS JUST RIGHT.

The Kelso features a wider, foot-shaped toe box to let your toes spread and relax. It has a flexible 6.0mm FeelTrue® sole with a herringbone tread pattern to provide ground-gripping performance on the court without sacrificing the all-day comfort you’d expect from Xero Shoes.

While you’re taking a stroll through town or tearing up the court, the lightweight (8.6 ounces each for a Women’s 7) Kelso will speak for itself.

GOES ANYWHERE. GOES WITH EVERYTHING.

The all-new Kelso is a casual minimalist shoe that is grippy enough for tennis matches, yet more than stylish enough to pair with jeans, khakis, shorts, or any casual attire. Enjoy your midday tennis break and glide straight back to work all in the Kelso.

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

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Kelso.
 
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 for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and safely Feel the World® in total comfort.

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.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

Please go to Xero Shoes Return Policy page to learn about our 45-day return policy.

Caring for your Kelsos

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

Tongue detached

Unfortunately, the tongue detached on the second time I wore the shoes. I am very surprised that for $110, the shoes only have a tongue that is glued on. So, seems to be poorly made.

Xero Shoes

We're truly sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with the tongue of your shoes. This is certainly not the level of quality we strive to deliver. Our shoes are designed to withstand regular wear, and it's disappointing to learn that the tongue detached so quickly. Please know that your satisfaction is important to us, and we'd like to make this right. If you haven't already, please reach out to our customer happiness team with your order details. We'll do our best to provide a solution that meets your needs. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve our products and services. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Actually fit!

These took no time to break in. I’ve tried and returned several types of barefoot shoes, and I decided to order these before throwing in the towel. They fit wonderfully, even with my narrow feet. I bought my normal shoe size. I love how they feel and, they pass for more typical street shoes.

Love these shoes

Little more narrow than some of my other “barefoot” shoes. But love the style and look.

A must have!

I own many pairs of Xero shoes and love them all. I was unsure about getting pink shoes, but they are only faintly pink with a slight grey undertone. They are actually quite neutral and can be worn with anything. The materials make them a little sturdier than some of the other Xero shoesI wear. These are now my favorite go-to casual sneakers for jeans and shorts.

Xero Shoes

It's wonderful to hear that you're a fan of Xero Shoes and that your new pink pair has exceeded your expectations! We're glad to know that the color turned out to be more neutral than expected, making them versatile for pairing with various outfits. The sturdier materials are designed to provide durability and support, and we're thrilled that they've become your favorite go-to casual sneakers for both jeans and shorts. Thank you for your support, and if you ever have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to ensure you continue to enjoy the best possible experience with our shoes!

Extremely comfy

I'm an outdoor educator and wanted a comfy shoe for walking and running a lot, but that still looked like a normal sneaker. These are perfect! Honestly the thing I notice most about them is how lightweight they are - I barely feel like I'm wearing anything on my feet. They are super soft and flexible and plenty wide and by far the comfiest shoes I've ever had. My only complaint and the only reason I'm not giving them five stars is that they are not breathable at all. This makes them pretty warm on cool days which is great, but as soon as it starts to warm up they are HOT and if they get wet they will not dry out. Otherwise though I love them and absolutely recommend them!
