Do you ever wonder who the people are behind Xero Shoes’ Customer Happiness Team?
Whether you need help picking your favourite Xero Shoe to buy, or you’re looking for your order, our Customer Happiness Team is the front line between our customers and the rest of our team.
We have team members that have been here for more than 4 years! They have extensive knowledge about each of our shoes, not only from talking with thousands of Xero customers but because they’re regularly talking with the product designers and of course, wearing the shoes in their daily life.
Most importantly, Xero Shoes Customer Happiness Team does everything with a smile on their face. Their goal is to be as helpful as they can to help you find your new favourite Xero shoe.
To get to know the team better, we asked them a few questions…

What’s your favourite Xero shoe and why?
