Why You'll Love the Genesis LeatherPure barefoot freedom with a timeless leather touch.

Minimalist, impossibly light, and ready for anything. Genesis is where Xero Shoes began, now in Leather. Designed for natural movement, it's the barefoot sandal reduced to its purest form: minimalist, impossibly light, and ready for anything. The perfect vacation sandal that's easy to pack, and even easier to style. The Genesis Leather is an elevated reimagining of our original, now more versatile than ever. Durable, comfortable, and lightweight, it's the perfect sandal to dress up, dress down, and everything in between.

Genesis Leather was born from a simple idea: let your feet move as nature intended. Minimalist, lightweight, and flexible, it quickly became a barefoot icon. The leather edition is an all-new iteration that adds style and comfort wherever you roam. A grippy rubber outsole keeps you grounded, while the fully adjustable leather cording keeps your feet secure. Featherlight and extremely packable, it’s perfect for traveling to class, to work, or to your next vacation spot.
