Why You’ll Love Zelen

Introducing the eco-friendly Zelen: comfort and sustainability come together in this zero-drop, minimalist road running shoe made with recycled materials.

This is the best shoe Xero Shoes has come up with thus far. It’s made from recycled materials. The sole itself is smooth, but grippy and excellent for road-running. It’s a real sustainable knockout.

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 224 grams per shoe in a men’s 42, 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 attire. Hit your next sprint in these, then hit your next guys’ night.

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.

Very nice but not perfect

Solid shoe for my application, wich is the gym. The plattform tends to lean towards running but i feel it´s just as at home in the gym. The only drawback found so far is that the upper black tension strap tends to feel a bit uncomfy when laceing up the shoe, so if you want a snug fit, this might be a problem, i can loosen it a bit for myself since i´m not running so no big deal. So 4/5 is my solid score

Walk in comfort

It’s my fifth “Zelen” pair in a row and most of them are great. I wish the company would bring back in production one of my favorite color which is “still gray” 🙂 Try it, you are not going to regret
