Do your shoes have arch support?Updated 2 months ago

Xero Shoes are designed to let your feet move naturally — bend, flex, and respond to the ground the way they’re meant to.

Instead of built-in arch support, our shoes have a flexible, low-profile design that allows the muscles in your feet to do the work themselves. Research suggests that relying on artificial support can lead to weaker foot muscles over time, while minimalist footwear may help improve natural foot strength and function.

Our goal is simple: help your feet do what they were made to do — and support your long-term foot health.

If you’re new to minimalist footwear, we recommend transitioning gradually so your feet have time to adapt.
