Made in the USA or Imported Rubber sole 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. MADE FOR EVERYDAY VERSATILITY: We believe in creating shoes that live at the front of your rack; never at the back. Shoes that help you tread through all the motions of life. And Zelens are the epitome of that versatility - capable enough to take on a grueling run yet stylish enough to elevate your favorite pair of jeans. For great performance, the sole features a tire-inspired treat that offers control & grip on asphalt, pavement, and cement.
