Xero ShoesMen's Dillon Barefoot Classic Sneaker

My first pair from Xero, and it is now my most comfortable pair. I've thrown out several old pairs and replaced them with this. I plan to order a second pair of Xero shoes soon. This model looks great, when clean, but gets dirty or stained easily. If I bought another I would spray it with fabric protector immediately before taking the first step.

I had to break in these pair until it was the perfect fit.

We have many different types of Xero shoes for our daughters, myself and my husband. I love this shoe so I bought this shoe for my husband for Christmas. Love that Xero is on Amazon so it'll arrive sooner! The Xero website said to buy your usual size so that's what I did for my husbands gift. It was too small. Had to return it and order TWO sizes up. Although it's the usual size on my shoe (same shoe but I bought from the Xero website, not Amazon.) Thinking that it's different shoes that they are selling on Amazon, than straight from their website. Otherwise, we love the Dillions! We all own them now.

Purchased to wear at work. I wear 14 wide and ordered the size 14. Fit as expected and not too tight. Wore the shoes the first time during a 10 hour work shift (mostly desk work). At the end of the day, my feet felt pretty good. I will probably purchased another pair.

My feet and calves thank you

These were a huge disappointment from xero shoes, I own the hfs shoes from them and love them, wear them all the time. This dillon model is nothing like the hfs. Not light, and the sole is way to thick to anything close to what I would consider a minimalist/barefoot shoe. Sent them back.

The Xero Shoes Men's Dillon Classic offers a perfect blend of style, comfort, and the incredible sensation of walking barefoot. I was on the hunt for a shoe that could be dressed up for various occasions, and these shoes exceeded my expectations. From the moment I put them on, I experienced unparalleled comfort, making every step a delight while retaining that natural ground-feel. The classic design is versatile, complementing various outfits, whether it's a casual day out or a semi-formal event. The eco-friendly aspect is a bonus, making me feel good about my purchase. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a barefoot feel without compromising on style!

I don’t understand why xero shoes made this one. The only logic I can think of is that they want to be able to offer a plain white sneaker to capitalize on success with other shoes by offering something for a broader market, it’s decent looking, although I didn’t like the shoe laces. More importantly these don’t feel like the theme of barefoot shoes, toe box felt more narrow than my adidas running shoes, sole is too thick to make you connected to the ground or offer movement to allow you to use foot muscles. A bit feminine looking imo if that matters to you.

I have many Xero shoes and sandals, and love the brand. I got these for work as I wanted a less-formal look while still being appropriately smart. They deal with that, while being supremely comfortable. I suppose if you aren’t already wearing barefoot shoes, you’ll find these a shock; if you are, you may find them to be a bit more squidgy - a bit less responsive - but the ground-feel is still pretty good. I have wide feet and these stretch and accommodate well. Expensive, but the quality is much better than the cheaper barefoot shoes on Amazon.

Très confortables, j'ai désormais du mal à m'en séparer.Très bon équilibre entre légèreté, confort et sensations.Foncez !FF

Needed a new pair of casual trainers. Wanted something that looked classic. Looked at various barefoot brands to find a pair I liked. I am happy with this purchase. The quality in the construction is evident, which can be lacking in some brands. This is the second pair of shoes I have now bought from Xero, ans won't be the last.

First up, these shoes look great! They don't look like barefoot shoes and can go smart casual with any outfit, which means they fulfil the purpose for which I bought them. They are beautifully understated. Secondly, though, note that these I am calling these minimalist and not barefoot for a couple of reasons.The moulded sole which makes these shoes look so great significantly reduces the lateral flexibility and ground feel of the shoe. I am aware that I am wearing these whilst I am walking, and my feet become sore if I walk too far in them - which never happens in my other barefoot shoes. Comparison on ground feel and flexibility between these, my cons, and my vivo's - these sit closest to the cons. The flexibility just isn't there to the barefoot level, and the ground feel (even after I took out the insoles) is closer to a conventional skate shoe without an insole than a truely barefoot shoe.The big deal for me, however, is the toe box. It is too narrow. Again, when compared to my vivo's and my cons this runs much closer to the width of my con's. (The sole width at the toe box is pretty much the same as my converse distros, although the shape of the shoe doesn't narrow at the toe like the cons.) My feet aren't cramped, but they are definitely in a shoe and a little constricted. These just don't have that truely barefoot feel. The wide toe box and the rounded, flexible sole are the barefoot shoe experience in my opinion, and these shoes come up short with both.So, in short, these are a great pair of minimalist shoes if you need something for looking a bit more 'normal' for work or heading down the pub without your feet being crushed, but they aren't going to be your go to barefoot shoe. If you want the full barefoot experience, check out vivobarefoot; if you want a minimalist skate shoe that won't cramp your toes too much and will be fairly light on the foot, these could fit that bill. If that is their aim, then they have almost nailed it (they just need a wider toe box and a cheaper price tag).

Stitching at heel began to fail inside shoe, after one day of wear! Exposing sole.
