Just an amazing shoe!

A really sharp looking shoe

I love the super clean fresh look!

Very very comfortable!

Stylish Comfort That’s Ready for Anything.

The Nexus Knit may not be our lightest performance shoe, but it still comes in at only 261 g (M8). More importantly, it’s still built to tackle whatever you want to do in it and look great while you are.

And when it comes to comfort, the breathable 3D-knit upper with its booty construction envelops your foot, so you’ll enjoy a barely-there feeling.

We hope you like talking to strangers, because the Nexus Knit’s elegant, minimalist design will make them stop you on the street to ask, “Where do I get a pair of those?”

Nexus Knit for everything you do.

We Haven’t Sole-d Out 🙂

Don’t be fooled by what looks like a foam midsole on the Nexus Knit. What you’re seeing is actually a clever minimalist cup sole that wraps around the upper, creating a more familiar looking profile. You’ll still enjoy the responsiveness and ground feel of the FeelTrue™ outsole that helps your brain move your body efficiently, effectively, and most importantly, enjoyably.

Made to Last.

Like all Xero Shoes, Nexus has a 5,000 mile sole warranty to outlast typical running shoes that are supposed to be replaced after 200-500 miles.

Life Changing Comfort.

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 Nexus Knit. 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 Live Life Feet First!

My second pair

I haven't even worn out my first pair yet, but I had to grab a second when they went on sale! Comfy since day one, I'm looking forward to not having to break the second ones in either.

Lightweight and comfortable, looks cool enough

This was my first time buying barefoot shoes, and I am happy with my purchase. Good points: Thin, flexible sole that still feels sturdy. Very soft and comfortable upper Gold was a nice colour, think mustard or mango flesh. Points to consider: The upper will probably stain and rip if you aren’t careful, but it’s knitted material so I guess that’s to be expected. I was expecting more room in the toe box for my little toe to spread, however as this is my first barefoot shoe I don’t know what to compare it to. Overall very pleased with the product. It feels strong, comfortable and that my feet are connected with the ground.

First pair of barefoot shoes. Love them

It's my first pair of barefoot shoes and I'm really pleased with them. I've used them for walking as well as running. They're very comfortable. They also look like 'normal' shoes, so I use them everywhere, including at work.

Almost forget I am wearing them!

I bought a blue pair in blue, I have tried other knit shoes from another brand before and I couldn’t get on with them, so I wasn’t sure if it would be the same with these but I thought I would take a risk. I am very pleased I did, they feel so good, easy o slip on and off, comfortable with or without socks, I actually sometimes forget I have shoes on!
