Why You Should Try Xero Shoes' DIY Sandals

Enjoy the fun of being “Barefoot… PLUS!” with Xero Shoes FeelTrue^® DIY (do-it-yourself) sandal making kits.

You can make your own barefoot sandals in just minutes. See how easy it is in the video, above.

Get your choice of lace colours, and 6mm Contact outsoles.

All of the soles are made with our exclusive FeelTrue^® rubber and are the only outsoles designed specifically for barefoot sandals. Co-developed with the former lead designers from Nike and Reebok, our FeelTrue® soles give you great traction, a comfortable grip, wonderful barefoot feel, and the protection you want. They’re strong, yet flexible, lightweight — a men’s US 9, Eur 42, 6mm Contact weighs about 153g. Plus,  FeelTrue® shoes come with Xero's 5,000 mile sole Warranty!

The 6mm Contact still has great ground-feel, but with a bit more protection and, since it’s a bit stiffer, a slightly “smoother” ride. 

Get the right fit: Xero Shoes are not sold by shoe size, since shoe size is notoriously inaccurate (you probably have shoes in your closet that are different sizes, but all fit you!). Instead we ask you to measure your foot to get the correct size. 

FeelTrue® DIY Xero Shoes kits come with

• 1 Pair of FeelTrue® rubber outsoles in your choice of thickness, colour and size
• 1 pair 6′ polyester laces in your choice of colour  

Please indicate in your order notes what COLOUR lace you would like.

Your purchase helps support the Tarahumara Indians in Mexico

The huarache tire sandals made by the Tarahumara, the indigenous people of the Copper Canyon in Mexico, inspired the DIY kit. The Tarahumara have been suffering under drought, food shortages, lack of access to health care, and other challenges. When you order a FeelTrue® DIY Kit, Xero donates 5% of the purchase price to the Tarahumara Children’s Hospital Fund to provide support.
