Why you’ll love Z-Trail EV.

Is it the best barefoot hiking sandal? We think so!

The Z-Trail EV offers the perfect combination of lightweight protection, natural flexibility, durability, versatility, style and affordability.

I Love these sandals! I wear these from the gym, to work, to church, to the beach. Great style and wearability!
Larry K. USA, Verified Z-Trail EV Mens Customer

Lightweight protection that feels just right.

The Z-Trail EV features an updated 11 mm FeelLite™ sole with a middle layer of TrailFoam™ and an updated dual chevron lug pattern that offers the best combination of comfort, protection, and trail-ready traction while still allowing you to bend, move, flex, and feel the terrain beneath your feet.

At just 5.4 oz each for a men’s 9, the Z-Trail EV remains just as lightweight and versatile as the original best-selling Z-Trail.

Made from earth & vegan-friendly materials.

The Z-Trail EV eliminates 70% of the unnecessary materials used in modern sports sandals – and because its soft, tubular quick-dry webbing is made from nylon sourced from recycled water bottles, it’s even better for the planet than before!

Z-Trail EV for everything you do.

Made to Last.

Like all Xero Shoes, the outlast typical sandals has a 5,000 mile sole warranty to outlast typical running shoes. The new Z-Trail EV is ultra-capable yet stylish enough to accompany just about any look, so you can take anywhere from the trail to the boardwalk and everywhere in between.

Why "Z-Trail EV"?

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Z-Trail EV. Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.

Live Life Feet First

All Xero Shoes feature a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and safely Feel the World® in total comfort.

Caring for your Z-Trail EVs

Because of the TrailFoam™ in the Z-Trail, these need a bit of extra attention. Do not leave Z-Trail in hot cars or exposed to intense or direct sunlight. This could cause the TrailFoam™ to deform and is not covered by our warranty.

To clean your Z-Trail sandals, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry (away from direct sunlight).

FAQs

Do you ship internationally?

We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

Recent convert

I bought my first pair of xero’s for pickleball. The 360’s have been excellent so far. I recently purchased some prio neo’s for the gym and they are just perfect. I also have some Z trail EV’s which are so comfortable for general wear . I wear these 3 pairs almost all day every day! As a fairly recent convert I look forward to wearing xero footwear for many years to come! Thnx!

Great sandals!

These are amazing sandals, I tried them out the other day for the first time when I went hiking. It was a dirt trail with lots of little rocks so I wasn't sure how it would feel but it was great. I didn't have any issues and these sandals actually have really good traction.
