Feeling on the foot:
What a comfortable shoe and so easy to slip on. The sole feels slightly thicker than many other barefoot shoes, and the grip feels really good. Fanny has wide and high feet. She usually wears size 39-40, and in this model, size 40 fits her foot perfectly. Lina, who has wide and normal-height feet, usually wears size 37 in many shoe models. In this one, she needs size 38 to get the right width. Size 38 feels a bit loose around the ankle, but with a warmer insole, size 38 fits Lina's foot perfectly. Sandra has a low and normal-width foot; she usually wears size 39, and on her foot, size 39 fits well. The model is slightly loose on her foot but she still feels the shoe grips well around the heel, keeping it in place. Daniel has extra wide and high feet, he typically wears size 43. In this model, that size feels tight, especially in width but also a bit in length. He tries size 44.5, and it feels better.

We recommend treating the shoes regularly to maintain the leather's properties and protect the shoes from dirt, e.g., this Protect & Care spray from Collonil works well and is available in our stock.

Xero Shoes Ridgeway Chelsea gives the illusion of a thicker sole than it has. On the foot, it feels light and very comfortable - with a slightly more cushioned sole than the thinnest barefoot shoes.
