Xero Shoes makes barefoot and minimalist shoes, boots and sandals for men, women and kids, built for running, hiking, training, court sports and casual wear.
The current tiered offer rewards a bigger cart, with 10% off under $75, 15% off from $75 to $124.99 and 20% off at $125 or more.
Xero Shoes was co-founded by husband-and-wife entrepreneurs Steven Sashen and Lena Phoenix. Steven, a Masters All-American sprinter and former gymnast, leads vision and marketing, while Lena oversees logistics and the numbers side of the business. Product development is headed by Chief Product Officer Michael Pao, who previously worked in footwear for several global brands. The shoes are designed in Colorado and made in China.
Every pair comes with a 5,000-mile sole warranty. Beyond ready-made footwear, the company sells DIY sandal kits with instructions for making huaraches, and its Pacer Lite is presented as its first model made specifically for performance walking. The site also hosts guides on natural running, walking and common barefoot myths.

Xero Shoes runs on Shopify, so the discount box sits in the order summary on the checkout page.
The tiered discount scales with the cart total, and the step from 15% to 20% comes at $125, so a second pair can change the rate on the whole order.
Military shoppers verify with GovX before the 15% applies. eGift cards work alongside discount codes, so paying with a gift card doesn't cost you the code.
Colorado orders add a $0.29 retail delivery fee, and that fee isn't refunded on a return.
