Product Description

From Live Strong: "My favorite light shoe! These shoes did not seem like they were going to handle much when I first tried them on. Forty-five days of daily wear, including hiking over various terrain -- beach sand, river crossings, rocks, gravel, manicured city trails and a few trips off into the woods with no path at all -- proved that not only do they hold up to the abuse, they have become my favorite light shoe. The compact, minimal design, allows them to fit into the smallest pack, and washing them was as simple as a quick spray-down with a hose. The Z-Trek could be used as trail shoes and still look nice enough to wear at a barbecue." Shelby Pratt Almost 100,000 people in 94 countries wear Xero Shoes for hiking, walking, yoga, working out, paddle boarding, kayaking, travel, even running 100-mile ultra marathons. The Z-Trek's patent-pending FeelTrue sole lets you enjoy natural, barefoot-style movement, but with the protection and comfort you like. They roll up and fit in your pack or pocket -- keep them handy for when you need them, or store them away when you're done. Lightweight (Women's 8 - 5.5 oz), water-friendly, comfortable tubular webbing, vegan, latex-free. Lightly textured top surface for grip in wet or dry conditions, and a dual-direction chevron tread for great traction. For more trail-friendly protection and even lighter weight, check out the Xero Shoes Z-Trail sandal, instead. The Z-Trek is about connection/flexibility. The Z-Trail is about protection/comfort. GUARANTEED performance -- Xero Shoes have a 5,000 mile warranty. See the Seller's website for full details. GET THE RIGHT SIZE: To get the correct fit, follow the instructions above.

I've eschewed conventional footwear since discovering Xero shoes.
5 out of 5 stars
I've eschewed conventional footwear since discovering Xero shoes.
So far I own a pair of the Z-Trek, the Hana, and the Prio. These shoes have allowed me to throw out basically every other pair of other shoes that I own, besides my Merrell gloves, which I use exclusively for running. The Xero shoes fill in all my other shoe/sandal needs, but I can certainly run in them. After fully adapting to barefoot footwear I really hate to wear any "normal" shoe with pointed toe box, foam, heel to toe drop, and stiff uppers. My posture, balance, core strength and running technique are all drastically improved. I no longer suffer from hip, knee, or shin pain. I am now basically a zealous opponent of conventional padded shoes with raised heels and the biomechanical deficiencies they facilitate.I love that they now make the Hana and Prio in all black and it's what compelled me to finally buy the Prio. The patent-pending design of the sole is simple and great. The rubber does conform to the foot a bit and has proved to be pretty durable. It is however, not anti-slip. The only uncomfortable shoe I am still forced to wear on a regular basis are my work shoes with anti-slip soles. The front of the toe box on the full shoes and general design is very nice, and the strap system allows the shoe to move and stay with your foot. The Hanas are more comfortable than any slippers I have worn but even with the slip-on sort of style, I can run with them because of the straps.As far as sizing I'd recommend erring on the larger size. All my Xeros are 11. As comparison my Merrell vapor and trail gloves are 10.5.I started trying to run "barefoot" years ago when Vibrams were first a thing and I will say it took quite a long time for my feet and biomechanics to fully adapt, especially while still mostly wearing other conventional shoes. It wasn't until I found closed toe, zero-drop/padding shoes that I could really convert so I'm glad it's becoming more widely available and Xero seems to be really leading the way on how to build them nicely.

    First off let me start by saying that I have been wearing minimalist shoes for about 4 years. I love the way that you feel so much more grounded and can really feel the ground beneath you. I also like how much stronger my feet have gotten and how much more "control" I feel I have with my feet.

    After owning countless pairs of Vibram Fivefingers and making DIY Huaraches, it was time for me to purchase something with a little more durability and style. These satisfy both those needs. After watching several video reviews of these sandals, I went with the Z-trek over the Z-trail because I wanted more of a ground feel.

    Pros:
    1. They are very stylish and I no longer have anything in between my toes like I did with the fivefingers and the diy huaraches. I like the color choice as I'm tired of having everything in black
    2. There is a small lip around the back of the heel, which is perfect because It makes it easier for me to drive in them without my heel touching the floor.
    3. They are adjustable in two ways and so far have been very durable. (I will update as time goes on)
    4. Affordable for what they are. I feel as though they are appropriately priced
    5. I am able to run in them for long distances without the need to adjust them during a run
    6. So far, I haven't gotten any blisters and the material is the perfect combination of soft and durable

    Cons:
    1. The back velcro point on the heel is opened and closed every time I put on the sandals, and by doing so, the end of the velcro strip catches on the metal loop that it slides through. I'm hoping that it doesn't get damaged after time and I will update if this improves or worsens.
    2. The point where the strapping material enters by the pinky toe could be set back by about a cm so my pinky toe has a little bit more room to wiggle.

    I've researched and tried most minimalist shoes and sandals. I wanted a lightweight sandal to take for basecamp after long backpacking trips. And burly enough for day hikes. Which allowed for socks in cooler mountain elevation. These seemed best because most have the between the toes strap. But because of the stap system, it's located right on the side of your pinky toe, not allowing it to spread out. I contacted the company and they told me that I had the wrong size...but after researching images, that is how they fit on everyone's feet fit in them.
    I generally buy everything on Amazon thus one of my decisions to get these, but regretfully had to return them.
    I then purchased the Unshoe Pah Tempe and they are super awesome. Similar, but ride more on the side of the foot below the pinky allowing your toes total freedom, which, in my opinion, is a major factor in minimalist/barefoot foot ware. Not to mention they are 3oz lighter than the Xeros.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Cómodas pero molestas de ponerse
    Reviewed in Mexico on February 5, 2020
    Son muy cómodas, tal vez incómodas para algunas personas porque las cintas de los dedos quedan muy encima del dedo pequeño del pie, pero a mi me gustaron mucho, a comparación de mis chanclas anteriores, éstas son muy dificiles de poner, pero en general no son muy dificiles de poner, sólo que estaba muy acostumbrado a la simpleza de las anteriores.

    No es enteramente como caminar descalzo, pero sí se siente similar, que es justo lo que buscaba; Se pueden ajustar del empeine del pie y del talón para que te queden como a tí te guste.

    Esto es con dos semanas de uso, en caso de que algo negativo pase, actualizaré ésta reseña.

    Reviewed in Mexico on August 14, 2019
    Yo compré los Xero shoes z-trek como parte de un reto para correr un maratón con huaraches. Estaba un poco preocupado de que correr de esta manera fuera doloroso o incomodo, sin embargo todo lo contrario. El calzado a pesar de ser de 6mm te protege muy bien de las irregularidades del camino, su sistemas de ataduras mantiene el huarache en posición todo el trayecto (no hay movimiento ni percepción de que se deslice). En mi primer prueba salí a correr 9km y fue una experiencia asombrosa.

    Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2019
    In 62 years... best, most comfortable sandals. My first 14 years (I grew up in a South American jungle), only wore shoes to school and church (lots of stubbed toes). These take me back. Love them.

    Day 1, walked 2.5 miles (4km) -- no blisters. Day 2, ran/walked 7.25 miles (11.5km) -- no blisters. I walk/run on the balls of my feet.

    If you walk heel-to-toe, may take getting used to (I'd buy 6mm.).

    Bonus: stones between sandal and foot -- not a problem. Lift the foot, bend the sandal, stone falls out, you're good to go. 3 seconds tops.
