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 have been wearing my Z-Trails now for a few weeks and am loving them! In fact, I hesitate to put anything else on my feet now.

Suzy W. USA, Verified Z-Trail EV Womens 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 comfortprotection, and trail-ready traction while still allowing you to bend, move, flex, and feel the terrain beneath your feet.

At just 4.3 oz each for a women’s 7, the Z-Trail EV remains just as lightweight and packable 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.

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


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.

After you purchase a gift certificate, you’ll be able to enter an email address for the recipient.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

Very comfy but cause me to trip a bit

I am really torn about thes sandals! I love the DIY kit I bought years ago and wear those constantly... they've held up very well and I love the near-barefoot feel. These sandals are much more comfortable and I love the flat straps that don't dig into the top of my foot. The toe keeps catching on the ground as I walk though! I don't think it's a size issue, as they fit very well otherwise and feel great. I'm actually not sure what could be done about this. The toe is already a bit scuffed and ragged now because of this. I still wear them though, they've been great as the weather turns cold because since they don't come up through my toes, I can wear regular socks with them. That's why I got them.

Favorite sandals

I have been wearing these sandals for years now, and I just buy a new pair as the old pair wears out. I love these, and I hope they never stop making them.
