John Wadley Joins Xero Shoes from Altra as VP of Product Development
Broomfield, CO (October 18, 2022) – Xero Shoes, a leading provider of natural movement footwear, welcomes John Wadley as the VP of Product Development. He comes to Xero Shoes from VF Corp.’s Altra brand, where he was Director of Product Innovation and Sustainability. Wadley will lead Xero Shoes’ product development staff, liaising with Product Design, Product Management and Operational counterparts to continue innovating the brand’s growing line of barefoot-inspired footwear. He brings extensive knowledge and experience in performance running, trail running, and hiking shoe construction, which will build on Xero Shoes’ mission of providing life-changing footwear based on “foot first” designs. “Xero Shoes is growing at an impressive rate, and I’m excited to inject fresh, innovative ideas and solutions to capture new and retain existing customers who love natural movement,” says Wadley. “The brand has so much potential and I’m looking forward to using my expertise in product development and innovation to elevate their classic and new footwear styles.” Prior to Xero Shoes, Wadley played an instrumental role in fueling Altra’s hyper growth over the past 10 years, in roles as Senior Footwear Developer, and during the brand’s new ownership under VF Corp. as Director of Product Development, and most recently his aforementioned role as Director of Product. “We’re excited to welcome John to Xero Shoes where he will be a great addition to the Product Creation team,” says Dennis Driscoll, Chief Product Officer. “He brings a ‘can do’ spirit and has experience successfully navigating the type of rapid growth Xero Shoes has been experiencing.” ### About Xero Shoes Founded in 2009, Xero Shoes manufactures comfortable, lightweight, performance and casual footwear built with a “foot-first design”. The company’s mission is to help people experience the comfort and benefits of barefoot-inspired footwear that lets them move naturally and “Live Life Feet First”. Co-founder and CEO, Steven Sashen, started Xero Shoes after discovering that running barefoot solved years of running injuries, but that being actually barefoot wasn't ideal in many situations. Xero Shoes launched in December 2009, in the EU in November 202. The brand features a complete line of casual and performance shoes, boots, and sandals that customers ages 2-92 in 97 countries wear for almost any imaginable occasion and activity. Sashen, along with co-founder and President, Lena Phoenix, appeared on ABC's hit reality-business show, Shark Tank, where they turned down a $400,000 offer from Kevin "Mr. Wonderful" O'Leary.

Chris McDougall Wears Xero Shoes on New York TV
So many of us were inspired by Christopher McDougall‘s book, “Born to Run.” In fact, it sparked the barefoot, natural running movement. We’ve always been a big fan of Chris’, and it turns out, he’s a big fan of ours, sharing several social media posts about wearing Xero Shoes. We're working with Chris and Eric to promote BTR2 and help people discover how to run joyfully! August 29th, Chris and his co-author and coach, Eric Orton, set off to promote the sequel, Born to Run 2: The Ultimate Training Guide. They're stopping in multiple cities across the US, joining local running groups to teach free running form clinics, using tips from the new book. Before their first stop in Harlem, NYC, Chris and his wife Mika joined Good Day New York to share of the best running form drills. Check Out Tour Dates in NYC for Christopher McDougall's Born to Run 2 Tour "We get conditioned to buy shoes with cushion for fashion, but we forget that our feet are designed to run naturally. Just get all that obstruction out of your way, and let your feet respond. These shoes are specifically designed to feel the ground. They're called Xero Shoes, and they're as close to zero as you can get."
Forbes Chooses Xero Shoes' Naboso Trail as Best Hiking Sandals
Forbes Vetted names Xero Shoes' Naboso Trail as one of the "Best Minimalist Hiking Sandals"! In a roundup of The 12 Best Hiking Sandals For Fairweather Treks, our Naboso Trail tops the list as the lightest sandal out there, at only 5.4 ounces each. "...This model not only offers a super thin, highly flexible outsole, but also the stimulating action of a Naboso insole. So as you hike in a more natural, grounded way, the bottoms of your feet receive some pleasant attention. If you’re not a fan of sandal thongs and think you could get on board with the idea that less is more, this is the perfect option." The stimulation of the Naboso Trail comes from its proprioceptive insole, created by Dr. Emily Splichal, a podiatrist committed to natural movement and the benefits barefoot. In addition to this hiking shoe, our Z-Trail sandal is a great hiking sandal. Or for a closer-to-barefoot experience, hike in our Z-Trek sandal.

What Shoes Did WIRED Pick for Beach Running? Xero Shoes
Two times in one month, two Xero Shoes are featured in WIRED! They ask, Want to Run on the Beach? Start With the Right Shoes. Experts recommend you're better off NOT running barefoot in the sand, and that's a good thing because our barefoot-inspired shoes give you the protection you need while still allowing your feet to bend, move and flex naturally. Xero Shoes' Aqua X Sport and Z-Trail are listed as the Best for Minimalists WIRED calls the Aqua X Sport the ultimate water shoe, thanks to its superior breathability... All the holes along the sides and toe box means it does fill with sand like nobody’s business, but that also gives you breathability for your feet. The Z-Trail EV made our best overall spot in our best barefoot shoes guide, and WIRED product writer Scott Gilbertson calls them the best shoes he’s ever worn. Compared to other shoes, there’s hardly any material on them, so you can barely feel them when you’re running.
