Xero ShoesWomen's Z-Trek, Zero Drop Hiking Sandals

So I’m not a hiker…. But I really dislike wearing shoes. I started wearing barefoot shoes about a year ago only when I have to of course bc I’d rather just be barefoot. I switched my sneakers over and then my dress shoes but hadn’t found a good replacement for my rainbow sandals yet. That was until I found these. These sandals are so comfortable. I was hesitant to try sandals for a while bc I have very sensitive skin/ I’m just sensitive to things touching my ankles. The type I tried previously had the cord that went through the toes and around the ankle and it was just too uncomfortable for me to wear. It is not the case with these sandals though. The fabric is a lot softer and does not irritate my skin or ankles at all. The Velcro is awesome on the ankle as well as it it easy to adjust for a good fit every-time. The soles are extremely flexible and feels almost like I’m not wearing shoes at all. These are just everyday shoes for me now. I live in a beach town so thankfully it’s socially except-able to wear sandals pretty much all year round even in the winter. I know these are made for hikers however if they came out with a “prettier” version of these I’d totally buy again. Maybe a brown sole with some cream or white straps. Either way these are just awesome! I told my husband just the other day these are the best shoes I’ve ever owned.

I love these so light and airy! Protects feet from ground but still allowed complete movement. They do look big when you first put them on so make sure to adjust straps while standing and you will see an amazing fit! My only down side is the toe while is a little too tight but that was probably done on purpose as I’m sure these will stretch to fit y toes! Very excited to see on Amazon. Zero shoes website doesn’t offer refunds if you don’t like the shoe so I never purchased the sandles because I’m very picky. I love my shoes so I totally recommend this brand! See photos will help you know how to adjust to your personal foot!!

This is my first Xero brand shoe. I have been wearing Whitin brand barefoot minimalist shoes (3 styles of them) that I also purchased on Amazon. I wanted a sandal style that I could wear with socks when I wanted to (nothing between the toes) and these looked like they would work well. I wore them yesterday after they arrived and they feel great! The size 7 fit with plenty of room for toes to stretch forward when walking. I like how they adjust to fit the width. Since I didn't have to get used to a barefoot shoe, these felt perfect right off the bat. These are definitely my new sandals!!! My Teva's feel so heavy and clunky now after wearing these Xero's. They will also make great indoor (slippers) shoes with socks in the colder months, so will be wearing them year round.

I love these sandals. They are lightweight and feel great. The only complaint I have is the toe 'box' is a bit wide which isn't aesthetically pleasing to me, and I ended up sewing a small piece of velcro to the instep strap to hold the heel strap in place as it was too long after adjusting the fit. Although the price is rather ridiculous, I do love the comfort of them.

Very flat sole. That’s what I wanted!

I got these on a recommendation to use for biking/light hiking/other outdoor activity and quite frankly I hate them. I usually wear size 9.5-10 because I have super wide feet and struggle with edema, but I bought these in a 9 because they were said to run big. Even with all that, the front strap is very loose and there is no way tighten it, so these flop around with every step and I tripped a couple of times before I learned to walk like a stupid clown. The velcro on the ankle strap is only at the end, so when I have them tightened around my ankles, there is less than an inch of connection (again, I have large swollen feet so this shocked me), and the strap sticks out and catches on things with the exposed velcro.Possibly the worst shoes I have ever tried to cross a shallow stream in - the velcro immediately came apart in the water and because of how floppy they are in the front, they drag and suck up stones pebbles from the river - I tripped and went down on a knee and finally had to take them off and go barefoot. Then the velcro didn’t want to stay connected once wet. I do a lot of hiking/backpacking so I’m not some uncoordinated git. I would honestly rather just go in Rainbows.

I wanted to love this sandal; it’s my fav color. But after ordering my usual shoe size I found that there was nearly two inches of sandal jutting out beyond my toes. Also the straps, when cinched down, were way beyond where the Velcro ended so couldn’t secure them to my foot. Had to return them.

I love these candles. My previous pair I have had for about 5 years and wear them all the time. I am a simple person who only wears 2 pairs of shoes, boots for around the farm or if its cold out and sandals for all the other times. I have hiked, done farm work and anything you would do with any other shoe with these shoes and they are great. I even wore them in the granite bottom streams in NY and never slipped. The old ones are still in great shape except that the hook and loop finally gave out so I had to knot the back together. I finally bought a new pair and happy to say they are still the same as the old pair. Other xero shoes they have changed and made the sole thicker these are still the same feel the ground type sole that I love. Wish I could say the same for the trail boots. Hopefully these sandles hold up just as well or better than the old pair. I have back and foot issues and going bearfoot has helped me so much. It takes some getting used to but once you do you will never want to go back to regular shoes.

Le "heel cup" me frotte sur le talon et l'irrite donc cela rend la sandale inconfortable. Le modèle z-trail a un "heel cup" moins haut c'est probablement plus confortable en plus d'avoir une semelle plus épaisse. Ce modèle z-trek est dur à ajuster et la ganse sur le dessus du pied est trop longue donc je dois la plier en 2 et la rentrer dans le petit anneau caoutchouté pour que ça ne pendouille pas jusqu'à terre. Aussi, on sent trop les roches, ça fait mal marcher sur un caillou un peu pointu qu'onn'a pas vu..

Hace un mes me encontré con un dolor inaguantable en mis pies. Después de varios días me doy cuenta que se debía a mis sandalias y botas que uso. Donde aprietan mis dedos de pie en forma de punta. Deformándolos a través de los años lentamente.Al darme cuenta de esto, decidí caminar descalza por varios días, esto ayudó ( después de un periodo doloroso) a fortalecer los músculos de mis pies. Pero decidí comprar estas sandalias.Y esta es mi opiniónPros:-Se puede ajustar fácilmente que tan apretado o no lo quieres.- Son bastante cómodos, y lindos.- Son planos y cómo buena sandalia descalza se logra sentir las texturas del suelo que con el tiempo ayuda a reforzar los músculos que ya no utilizamos con los zapatos regulares.Cons:- Son carísimos.- Si los ajusto bien, mis dedos se aprietan mucho. Entonces los ajusto de manera moderada pero al hacer eso me trae el PROBLEMA MÁS GRANDE que tengo con estas sandalias: si salgo a caminar en el campo, las hojas, la tierra, la gravilla, lo que sea, se introducen entre mi planta de pie y la sandalia!! Es como estar caminando sin protección en la tierra! Se me mete todo tipo de piedritas. Y debo pararme cada 5 minutos para sacar tierra y piedras en estas sandalias. Es exageradamente molesto.Esto es un gran problema para mi. Ya que mi intención era utilizar estas sandalias para Hiking. No veo como nadie podrá usar estas para caminar en la naturaleza. Porque tal vez si los aprietas muy bien nada entraría pero es contra-producente. Ya que terminarías deformando tus dedos de pie.Si vives en la ciudad y los utilizarías únicamente para caminar en pisos pavimentados están muy bien!

Schön verarbeitet und bequem!Für breite Füße geeignet

Tolle Farbe und Passform. Schön dünne Sohle.

No me las he quitado en todo el verano, ni siquiera por caminos de monte. Son geniales.
