WE MAKE 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 Phoenix Knit.

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

Caring for your Phoenix

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

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.

Great shoes

I love all my pairs of Xero shoes. I bought these Phoenix - knit for slippers because I needed something that provided no arch support and something comfortable to wear in the house.

Skeptical at first

After reading reviews of the Phoenix knit, I was concerned it wouldn’t fit my low volume foot very well. I was also concerned about room for my toes that some people mentioned. But I was very pleased that this shoe fits my foot perfectly in my regular size (5.5)! The heel doesn’t slip, and I have plenty of room for my toes! It has a classic look, and is just dressy enough for me. Another great XERO purchase!

Mostly good

The length and width are good, but the height of the toe box is not. It presses on my big toenail and is uncomfortable. I had to buy a shoe stretcher to make these work. Other than fit, I love the appearance and zero drop of these shoes.

Another winner from Xero!

Ballet flats are an effortless classic and easy look but I have always found that they pinch my toes, which hurts, so I had ballets in my closet for years that I either never wore or did wear and put up with the pain the whole time. Well, now I have a pair of ballet flats I actually wear and that don't hurt! I was watching the Phoenix in gray daily for my size to restock and when it did I snapped them up. I wanted gray because it's a versatile neutral color and because it doesn't show hair and lint like the black version would (we have dogs). I'll be honest, I was a little unsure when I ordered these, but I have found Xero's return policy quick and easy for a refund if they didn't work. The reviews I read were a little mixed in regard to heel slippage (I have a narrow heel), and pressure on the toes (I have a wide forefoot with bunions). It appeared that many people sized up a little as well. I ended up ordering a size 10, which is the larger of my usual sizes (I have worn a 9.5 in Merrell shoes and a 10 in Sorel; I have worn 9.5 in many other ballet flats but had to squish my foot in). For Xero sizing reference, I have the Pagosa slipper shoe in 9.5; Dillon sneaker 9.5; Scrambler Low 10; Tari bootie 10; Ridgeway boot 10.5; Alpine boot 10.5. The 10 in the Phoenix is perfect - my heel doesn't slip, my toes have adequate room, and there's no bunion pain given the comfy knit construction. I'll be honest - my gait in these flats isn't as natural as in a full lace-up Xero shoe, in order to keep them on my feet. That's just the nature of the design, at least on my foot. I'm not going to outrun a bear in these flats, but that isn't the purpose. I wanted a dressy but comfortable and pain-free shoe to wear on occasions where I am likely not walking many miles, and these flats fit the bill perfectly.

We're thrilled to hear that you found a pair of ballet flats that you actually wear and don't hurt your feet! It's wonderful that the Phoenix flats in gray are meeting your expectations in terms of comfort and versatility. Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with sizing and fit—it's incredibly helpful for others considering the same style. We're delighted that the size 10 fits perfectly and provides adequate room for your toes. We understand that ballet flats may not offer the same level of natural gait as lace-up shoes, but we're glad they serve their purpose as a comfortable option for dressier occasions. If you ever need assistance or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Enjoy your new flats!
