Whether you’re in your shorts on a sunny day, stepping out in your jeans for a night out, or looking all smart casual at work in those khakis, Kelsos tie it all together.

BOOST YOUR PERFORMANCE: These aren’t just zero drop shoes women will want to flaunt; they’re performance-boosting kicks that will take your court game to a whole new level. Look at the bottom and you’ll see what makes them special: a herringbone tread pattern that provides ground-gripping performance to help you move with competition-crushing intent. All through your match, the patterned pinhole vents and moisture-wicking mesh lining work hard to keep you cool.

FEEL THE WORLD: Leather tennis shoes for women inspired by nature: that’s what separates Kelsos from all the rest. We designed them to give you the fun and freedom of natural, barefoot movement with just the right amount of protection to take you wherever you want to go. And the secret behind the freedom? Our patented 6mm FeelTrue sole that lets feet bend and flex naturally, a low-to-the-ground design that allows you to connect to the world, and a wide toe box that gives toes room to spread.

RUN AS NATURE INTENDED: Feel every step. Connect with the trail. Relish every run. Meet Zelen - zero drop running shoes for women that give you just the right amount of protection with the rewarding ground feedback of barefoot running. Zelen road runners have all the hallmarks of Xero shoes - a zero-drop heel, 5mm FeelTrue Sole, and a wide toe box for optimal posture. But we’ve also included a removable 3.5mm insole that gives you the freedom to choose just how you feel the world.

EARTH-FRIENDLY IN EVERY WAY: We don’t call these barefoot women’s running shoes ‘eco-friendly runners’ for no reason. Zelen means green in Czech - a nod to the abundance of planet-friendly materials in every pair of these minimalist shoes for women. The FeelTrue sole is made with enhanced biodegradable rubber, the upper knit fabric and tension straps are made with recycled materials, and the silky smooth sock liner is biodegradable. Help us take care of our planet with every rewarding run.

DISCOVER A WORLD OF COMFORT: Whether you’re running a half marathon, going for that morning jog, or taking your furry buddy for a walk around the block, your feet will be reeling in comfort. Zelens not only reduce ankle & calf strain with their zero-drop heel, but they also keep you comfy mile after mile thanks to the breathable upper knit fabric and the airflow-optimizing removable inner sole. And at a super-lightweight 6.5oz per shoe for a women’s 7, they’ll have you flying down the road.

STIMULATE YOUR FEET: These lightweight sport sandals contain Naboso Technology – a scientifically textured footbed that increases sensory feedback whenever you walk. Throw in the super-lightweight 4.2oz design (Women’s 7) & the adjustable Z-Pattern straps, and you end up with next-level comfort to help you go the distance on all your adventures.

BLAZE THE TRAIL: With this level of grip, comfort, and durability, no trail will be safe from your hiking ways. You’ll love the trail-friendly 8.5mm Tech Sole and the tire tread that complements your escapades with a sure grip. Whether you’re taking an extended walk on the beach, strapping up for a light hike through the woods, or exploring the site on your camping trip, you’ll be treading with confidence. These sandals are also great as water shoes for river rafting, kayaking, or canoeing.

VEGAN SANDALS WITH A CONSCIENCE: These are more than just adventure-fueling, feet-pampering water sandals for women and men; they are a testament to earth-friendly sustainability. Our walking sandals are proudly vegan, which means no animal products are used in construction. We’re also making more of our shoes with fast-growing, sustainable materials and transitioning to using recycled products, all in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint.
