Xero ShoesMen's Z-Trail EV Barefoot Hiking Sandals

I bought these because they are lightweight and I was traveling with only a small backpack in the summer. They fit in the outer side water bottle compartment and don’t add a lot of bulk or weight. They are also pretty comfortable if you are looking for a zero drop minimal sandal with just a bit more thickness for all day walking and rocky beech activity. They seem pretty durable so far I’m happy with my purchase.

I've been a full time barefooter for 10 years. I read some articles about zero drop barefoot sandals and decided to give them a go. After 2 weeks research I decided to try the Xero Z trail, especially since they backed their product enough to offer a 7 day trial period. I got them in, easily adjusted them to my feet and hit the trail. I immediately feel in love with them. I kept looking at my feet to ensure I actually had sandals on. They are that light and comfortable! The open toe design enhances the barefoot feel with no strap between your toes. I thought the front toe area might catch on rocks or roots on the trail but with a proper snug strap adjustment, there's No issue. During the trail period I took the Zs to water. They did great with the only exception was if water is between the skin of the feet and sandal bed. It Can be Sleppery! Did not like that part. However, they dry quickly. Overall I was so impressed that I ordered a pair for my wife. She loves them as well. A suggestion I found to imprint your foot into the foot bed is to shower in them a time or two. After doing this you could clearly see and feel the glove like comfort. My only concern is durability. I read reviews with strap issues including the backstrap velcro. During the trial period I called Xero customer service. They eased my mind when they assured me if that should happen, the sandals were covered with a 24 month warranty on the straps and a lifetime warranty on the soles. Therefore, if you enjoy being barefoot and grounding but with a little protection, I HIGHLY recommend these Xero sandals!

I needed a comfortable shoe for use around water on a trip and these were perfect. They are so thin and light I was able easily fit them into my carry on bag. I find myself wearing them everywhere now as they are very comfortable for everyday use.

They are quite annoying to put on due to repeated twisting of the straps. They are hard to hike in unless you keep to clean and dry trails. I wore them in Kauai and was fairly uncomfortable. Disappointed that I bought them.

First of all, my experience with this sandals is not very long (one week). Previous week I received and did one not usual thing (usualy befor long trip test before use). I open package and use sandals to may trip: river boat, wood hiking and in river, after that I use with bicycle. The weather was: from +10C to +25C, the ground: wood, sand, river stones, asphalt. To summ up:1. light and comfortable.2. in the woods (not like jungle) was comfortable.3. litle bit hard move legs when all was around mud. clean and then wear again.4. Foot conection with sandal litle bit slippery when inside sand and mud.5. With bicycle need to be litle bit cautious - bicause metal pedals leave scratch in sole (in not so strong part.)6. Use in industrial place - streets with asphalt - exelent.7. I will use in some sport activities (runing,...) - result will be.Conclusion: At the moment I am happy with this product.

I'm a 10.5 men's 95% of the time. The 10 was too small (big toe hung a bit off front edge and I was worried about stubbing it), but the heel fit great. The 11 gave me the length I needed, but now my heel "swims" in it a bit. Regardless of how I manipulate straps, my left heel slides out and rubs real bad against the back outside part where the strap connects to the sole.I wish they made these in half-sizes, they are so close to being awesome, and I'm a 10.5 in almost everything. I think if you're actually a "whole-size" shoe fit normally, these could be really great for you. They are definitely zero-drop and have an awesome tread on the bottom.That being said, $90 is WAYY too much to charge for what you get here, regardless. This Xero guy has made a fortune convincing everyone his $30 sandals are worth $90. It's nuts.

I wear the Z-Trail sandals every day around my home and yard. They are amazingly comfortable.I trail run 4 to 5 days a week and wear Z-Trail sandals if it is raining or very wet.I wear a size 11 running shoe, but I purchase size 10 Z-Trail sandal. I like less material extended beyond my toes when trail running.I hope XEROSHOES will be successful and remain in business for many years to come. I plan to purchase these sandals in the future.

It’s a great shoe as far as comfort but the sole has already come apart!This was the second pair and the first one took 4 yrs for the sole to come apart! These shoes were purchase in July 2023 and not worn right away…it is now March 24 and the super glue is out and the sole is being reattached.For the price I expect more!

Se rompió a la tercera puesta solo caminando

Je les aient trouvé confortable et accrochant bien au roches.Mais il a suffit d'un peu d'eau sous mon pied, Lors d'une course en trail, pour que mon pied glisse a l'intérieur et qu'il n'y ait plus aucune tenue dedans.Mon pied c'est mis a partir de tous les côtés de la sandale. la sangle fini par casser au bout de 200 mètres et j'ai failli me tordre la cheville.Faite pour le trail, mais conception a revoir si vous voulez qu'elle serve vraiment pour ça

- Duración de los materiales intermedia. Las suelas son blandas por una zona, y se van desgastando. Por otra zona son duras, y se van despegando. Lo hace muy progresivamente, pero no es de alta durabilidad sino media.- La suela es dura, pero amortigua bien las piedras. Las cintas son robustas. Aunque tienden a apretarse un poco solas, ya que la zona alta y la baja son la misma cinta.- La suela tiene tacos que mejora notablemente el agarre en terrenos escarpados y de cesped, y lo empeora ligeramente en terrenos lisos y de asfalto.- Son buenas, pero para lo que valen podrían ser más duraderas y tener el ajuste un poco más estudiado.

Beaucoup trop grand par rapport a la taille indiquee. Inveaissemblable.

Very comfortable
