Xero Shoes Men's Z-Trek Barefoot Hiking Sandals

I really like these sandals. I bought these for hiking on a trip from Nevada to Kentucky. I'd used barefoot hiking shoes years ago and wanted to put away my big, waterproof boots and give these a try.8t was my plan to wear them for a week, break them in a little, experiment with the fit for a while, and then wear them hiking with my old boots in reserve.I was sent the wrong shoes and had to return them. I ended up not getting them until the day before I left. My first time wearing them was hiking Hermit Trail (the rim trail) at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. My feet were fine. The shoes worked great. The next day we hiked around Monument Valley and I wore them again.The soles protected my feet from bruises. The shoes stayed where they belonged on my feet. I got no blisters.

Prior to purchasing these sandals I had a pain in one of my feet and I had tried many, many things to get rid of it to no effect. Just 1 day and a half after wearing these sandals the pain went away!! These minimalistic sandals engage all muscles instead of overwhelming some joints/muscles like many other very thick sandals typically do. This makes these sandals healing and healthy to your feet and body! I am grateful to the creators of this product and hope the price remains accessible to all.

straps are not the highest quality, but it is sturdy. Thin metal oblong wire that links/folds straps tend to go sideways and bunch up the straps and can be pain to fix. I wish they made THAT out of thicker flat material. otherwise, flat, non-cushioned sole is sturdy and it is very much minimalistic. probably would last longer than regular flip flops or sandals, although if Is it worth what they are charging is questionable.I would not have purchased at the price listed. I got it at the sale price, and with Amazon provided "gift card" dollars.

Super comfortable! Almost like wearing nothing but kinda better. Fit true to size for me. I wear a 10.5 normally, ordered the size 10 and I'm very happy with the fit. The sole is super thin but has the right balance between flexibility and rigidness. The straps securely connect your feet to the sandles without hot spots or pressure. I bought these thinking I'd probably return them but wow I'm impressed. Whoever engineered these things is a master. Weight for the pair is 15.06oz or 427g. They pack down to under an inch tall when stacked. Not the lightest camp shoes but way more functional. You could honestly hike in these and I'm sure some ppl do. The quality is there and when you factor in the warranty, they are worth the price.

His foot isn’t the most standard, so finding the right shoes is tricky. He has HOKA, crocs, nb, but this ones are different and super comfy

I bought these for a trip to Costa Rica. I have never worn xero shoes or sandals in the past but the minimal style and look appealed to me as well as the light packable form facor of the design. First of all they look good and held up well but the reason I am giving 3 stars is because of 2 things. One, they are diffucult to put on even after wearing them several times and watching multiple youtube videos. I had issues with the strap twisting and getting them on properly. The second reason is that they are just very slippery and borderline dangerous if you are hiking or walking on wet rocks or in the woods or in rivers. I had high hopes for these shoes and Im not saying I wont wear them again but if your looking for a hiking sandal I dont believe these are the best option. I will say that I walked for several miles on regular sidewalks, roads and even the beach and they were fine. They were comfortable for my wide feet for regular wear and daily use but again they are very slippery on wet rocks and such. I ordered a size 9 which is what I wear when not wearing socks and they were true to size. I hope this helps :)

I like these sandals a lot. They have more tread for more comfort and grip. The materials used are mostly great. ... except tue elastic band to hold the excess strap. I replaced this with a 3/4" boack chrome keeper. Perfect!

These are my husbands fav shoes for hanging out. he can easily throw them on and go. He says they are super comfy and the quality is def great. the design is well done for what he uses them for. they were highly recommend to him so now I recommend them to you.
