Xero ShoesBarefoot Water Shoes for Men | Aqua X Sport Men's Water Shoes | Wide Toe Box, Zero Drop Heel, Minimalist for Beach, Hiking, Running

With absolutely no hyperbole, I think this is the best pair of shoes I've ever bought. I originally purchased these for vacation/beach wear, but I their real value became apparent to me when I started to wear them for athletic use. They are lightweight, well-ventilated, secure, anatomically neutral, and comfortable. All of these features make them equally adept for lifting and running. The only damage on them thus far is a small tear on the right pinkie toe from when I went trail running, and that can easily be mended with a bit of Gear-Aid tape if the hole widens. I genuinely can't recommend these enough.

Fit good had to go half size up tho and willdry quick

These are just garbage. I have never had shoes with soles that shift around. I am currently stuck with these as my only shoes on a multi-month trip. Amazon needs to provide a way for giving zero-star ratings.

Excellent shoes, great price, next day delivery.

I liked this water shoe. It was nice and tight on my foot. But the only bad thing, which who knows if you can prevent, a lot of sand gets inside. But being it’s a water shoe sand will get in there. Great grip for rough surfaces and the drawstring tightens great.

Unfortunately the pair I got did not hold up well. After just two weeks of wearing the sole is starting to split from the shoe. I’m past the return window in Amazon, but no where near the 5,000 mile guarantee. I love Xero shoes, I have several pairs for various activities that have lasted years and my other pairs have always been impressive quality. So sad this pair seems defective. Waiting for an update from seller to fix this…

Product fit was true to size, and seemed to be good quality upon initial inspection. I went for two run’s on pavement, no technical terrain/rough ground, for approximately 2 miles each run. At that point the toe guard on the left shoe began to separate from the mesh near my great toe. Not truly a problem now, but will continue to get worse over time, and I’d planned to use these shoes for mud runs.I contacted the manufacturer website to see if they would offer any solution to this issue/had any advise on how to prevent this from getting worse. After 2 weeks I still didn’t get a response, so I opted to return via Amazon return policy.Your mileage my vary, but I’d question how durable these shoes are/how long they’ll last if they started having issues within the first two run’s I went on.

I have so far gone on a handful of day hikes in these shoes In muddy conditions. So far the shoes have held up well and have been more protective than I imagined they would be. I have narrow feet and these shoes fit perfectly with a little extra room in the toe box for my toes to splay out. These shoes dry fast and are comfortable without socks. These shoes don’t offer support, and you can feel the ground through the shoe very well, which is a plus for me, but don’t buy these if you are expecting cushion.
