Cute, but a little snug…

I like the look, they are nice material can be dress to casual. However they are a bit to small, but I do have high instep on the top of my feet, so slip ons are sometimes a difficult fit for me. I sometimes have to wear a half of size up, which I should have done in this case. But it’s ok, I will wear them when I need a nice pair of casual dressy black shoes. However they do look cute on my feet. Maybe if I wear them long enough, they will stretch out some, at least enough to make easier to put on. Overall I’m content enough with my purchase, I just know what size to order next time. Plus I have read that Xero shoes do run a little bit small in some of their styles. They also are a little slippery on wet surfaces, so be aware of that.

Impossible to get the right size & poor customer service

Sent this email to Xero shoes:So I bought a pair of hana shoes in size 9 on Amazon. Got the box and it had a note saying that the size was updated and that the shoe inside would be different than what I ordered. No problem. It was a 9.5 but still too snug. I went on Amazon again and ordered a 9.5 assuming I’d get a shoe that said size 10. Got the box that said 9.5 but had a pair of shoes inside that also said 9.5. My initial thought was, “They must be a newer batch with the correct sizing.” Nope. Same exact fit. I still have both sets of shoes and they are EXACTLY the same size when held up to each other. Obviously they don’t fit. Now I don’t know what to do. Give up and return both pairs and find a different shoe? Or order a size 10 and hope that a size 10 is in the box and not a 10.5 which I’m sure will be too big…? I’m hoping you can help me out. The shoes are really cute and I love the wider toe box.Xero Shoes response:”The second pair you received was boxed incorrectly. All shoes of this style have been resized so the 9.5 you ordered should have had a 10 in the box. We would recommend reordering the 9.5 and contacting Amazon to let them know you received the incorrect size in your shipment.”My response:So, I followed your advice and I ordered the nine and a half again and received a pair of shoes that had nine and a half on the bottom, which of course were too small. They came without the original shoe box or any of the inserts this time. I give up. I don’t know if there’s anything you guys can do to fix your Amazon orders but I’m really frustrated because this was the third pair of shoes that I bought and still couldn’t get the right size. It’s ridiculous.Summary:It’s impossible to get the right size. I wanted to love these shoes. I tried ordering THREE times but could never get the right size. I contacted the company and they were NO HELP. Don’t waste your time with this company! For the price of the product, I expect better customer service. They’ve lost my business. I’ll try Vivobarefoot instead.

Sizing Issues!!

So the first time I ordered, I got an 11 which was a bit too big. So I ordered another pair in a 10.5. When I received them, they were another pair of 11’s and a note stating they run small so this would be true to size. I am very confused, is this pair of 11’s a different size? Do I need to order a 10? If I order a 10, will I get a 10 or a 10.5? I really like the ideal of minimal footwear but it just isn’t practical to order multiple pairs and not get the right fit.

Women’s shoe runs small.

I wear a women’s size 9 shoe. I bought these shoes in a women’s size 9. I tried them on and walked around and could feel the tip of my toe hitting the toe box. With all my other size 9 shoes I have about a half inch gap between my toe and the toe box. I like the gap in case I ever need to go full on sprint.. my shoe size won’t be an issue. They are super cute shoes but they just run small.I bought the same pair for my boyfriend in a size 10 men’s and they fit great. He loves them and the actually helped rid him of his lower back pain.. so that’s good!

Overpriced

Within a month of having them the sole around the toe area pulled off one. The fading is ASTOUNDING. They are basically grey after three months. Also, if you aren’t used to flat shoes, these will HURT for the first 3 weeks.

Okay but not great

Very comfortable but runs a bit small.Sole of the shoe started separating pretty quickly though. I expected better quality for the price. Love the design and feel though.

Comfortable.

I bought this product because I have bunions and didn’t want a tight fit at the toe area. I love them. They fit perfectly.

Good shoe just order 1 size up from your regular size

I am definitely a size ten shoe and ordered a 10 at first because i own the vienna boot and jessie sandals from xero shoes in a size 10 and they both fit well but i had to return the size 10 hana because of being too short. I ordered size 11 and they fit great. Good shoe just order 1 size up from your regular size.

Xero Shoes Women’s Hana Casual Shoe – Lightweight, Zero Drop Canvas Sneaker – FAQ

Can I spray a water protectant on them?

Hello Alicia, Thank you for contacting us. Great question! While the Hanas would come treated to be water-resistant you would be more than welcome to add additional treatment! In your case our product line manager Nick would recommend adding a coat or two of with a product like Nikwax. Just make sure it is meant for canvas and you use it as instructed! 😉 Hopefully that helps! If you have any questions, please let us know. We are here to help!

How does sizing measure up

You can find sizing recommendations on our Amazon product page and on our website. Most customers say that the Hana runs true to size.

Is the hana rain proof?

The Hana is not rain proof. We’re working on some rain friendly options for the future though.

Machine Washable?

no

Are these wide? There are no regular sizes

Hi Abigail, all of our shoes are made to be wider than average. We don’t have width options other than our standard width.

is this the women’s or men’s hana? I see conflicting things in the info section

This is our Women’s Hana as it has the white bottom, the Men’s Hana in this coloring has a tan bottom for visual difference. If you have a slimmer or lower volume foot we recommend trying the Women’s version as it is a little more narrow then our Men’s version.

Is this shoe vegan?

yes

When will more sizes be available?

Hello, We have discontinued the women’s Hana and are not expecting any restocks at this time.

Is this shoe vegan?

yes
