Xero Shoes Zelen Men's Barefoot Zero Drop Running Shoes - Lightweight & Flexible with Removable Insole for Natural Movement | Trail Running, Gym Workouts & Everyday Wear

Introducing the eco-friendly Zelen: comfort and sustainability come together in this zero-drop, minimalist road running shoe made with recycled materials. EARTH-FRIENDLY. VEGAN-FRIENDLY. FOOT-FRIENDLY. The Zelen features a breathable knit upper made with rPET recycled material and a silky-smooth sock liner to keep you cool and comfortable mile after mile. The flexible yet durable 5.0 mm FeelTrue® sole features a tire-inspired tread to give you confident grip and control on asphalt, cement, and pavement – all without sacrificing the ground feel and feedback you love from Xero Shoes. The tension straps, made from earth-friendly recycled materials, are adjustable for added support and stability, allowing you to push further and faster. At a lightweight 6.5 oz per shoe in a women’s 7, the barely-there feel of this sustainable runner will have you flying down the road yellin’ “Zelen”! PERFORMANCE AND STYLE. The all-new Zelen is an eco-friendly performance shoe that’s fast enough to tackle your next half-marathon, yet stylish enough to pair with jeans, shorts, or just about any outfit. Hit your next sprint in these, then hit your next girls’ night. WE MAKE PERFORMANCE SHOES SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON. If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of a run as they did at the beginning, you haven’t tried the Zelen. 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 supports proper posture. The low-to-the-ground design promotes perfect balance and agility. And our flexible soles give you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, and flex while you Feel the World® in total comfort.

RUN AS NATURE INTENDED: Feel every step. Connect with the trail. Relish every run. Meet Zelen - zero drop running shoes for men that give you just the right amount of protection with the rewarding ground feedback of barefoot running. Zelen road runners have all the hallmarks of Xero shoes - a zero-drop heel, 5mm FeelTrue Sole, and a wide toe box for optimal posture. But we’ve also included a removable 3.5mm insole that gives you the freedom to choose just how you feel the world.

EARTH-FRIENDLY IN EVERY WAY: We don’t call these barefoot men’s running shoes ‘eco-friendly runners’ for no reason. Zelen actually means green in Czech - a nod to the abundance of planet-friendly materials in every pair of these minimalist shoes for men. The FeelTrue sole is made with enhanced biodegradable rubber, the upper knit fabric and tension straps are made with recycled materials, and the silky smooth sock liner is biodegradable. Help us take care of our planet with every rewarding run.

DISCOVER A WORLD OF COMFORT: Whether you’re running a half marathon, going for that morning jog, or taking your furry buddy for a walk around the block, your feet will be reeling in comfort. Zelens not only reduce ankle & calf strain with their zero-drop heel, but they also keep you comfy mile after mile thanks to the breathable upper knit fabric and the airflow-optimizing removable inner sole. And at a super-lightweight 7.8oz per shoe for a men’s 9, they’ll have you flying down the road.

MADE FOR EVERYDAY VERSATILITY: We believe in creating shoes that live at the front of your rack; never at the back. Shoes that help you tread through all the motions of life. And Zelens are the epitome of that versatility - capable enough to take on a grueling run yet stylish enough to elevate your favorite pair of jeans. For great performance, the sole features a tire-inspired treat that offers control & grip on asphalt, pavement, and cement. Go ahead, get zero drop shoes that do so much more.
