Product Description

Due to increased costs of materials, manufacturing, and shipping, the price of this product will be raised on September 1st.
Limited quantities are available before that date.

“I’m absolutely in love with them and already use them for EVERYTHING. Walking, hiking, even everyday chores and tasks!”  – Megan H.

The comfort of a sport sandal upper, the lightweight, barely-there feel of a packable travel sandal. This combo lets the Z-Trek do it all.

WHY WILL THE THE Z-TREK BE YOUR FAVORITE ALL-PURPOSE SANDAL?

COMFORT AND SECURITY.

The Z-Trek is an upgrade to the popular original, now with smooth, tubular nylon straps made from rPET recycled materials. The fully adjustable strap system lets you fine tune your fit, giving you the security you love in Xero Shoes.

The 6.0 mm FeelTrue® sole gives fantastic ground feel while still protecting you from the elements, while the dual direction chevron tread provides you confident grip. All that and they still only weigh 5.6 ounces each for a women’s 7.

NATURAL FEELING. NATURAL STYLE. 

 The Z-trek is stylish and available in multiple colors. They’ll confidently take you from jogging at the beach, to your favorite water-sport, to a stroll through town, all while enjoying the benefits of natural freedom.

WE MAKE SANDALS SO COMFORTABLE, YOU'LL FORGET THEY'RE EVEN ON.

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-Trek.

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.

All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, a 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.

You sure can. Just slide the webbing through the slots on the outside of the sole to get the tension you like.

Note: A lot of our customers report that they like the toe strap looser than they thought they would. Experiment and see what you like best.

Use the templates that are linked on this page (next to where you select the size, and in the product description).

NOTE: Please measure your foot and/or use the templates. Sandal size is very often different than shoe size.

Pretty much anything you want. Take a walk on the beach, a hike in the woods, hang out with friend, stroll around the campsite, approach a climb, paddle a canoe, run a marathon…

I’m not sure that Z-Trek, or any sandal for that matter, is right for lateral motion sports, like tennis or basketball.

So, use your common sense and HAVE FUN!

There are 54 different foot shapes. And no product will fit everyone perfectly.

If you’re not sure you have the right size, drop us an email with some photos (top, side, back) and we’ll give you our opinion.

If you have the right size but the Z-Trek shape doesn’t quite match your foot… CUT IT! That’s right, you can trim the Z-Trek with a good pair of kitchen scissors. To finish the edge cleanly, try some sandpaper. Don’t cut off too much, too soon, though. Take off just a bit, and then see how you did. Remember, you can’t UN-cut.

If you’re a man with a very narrow foot, you may be better in the “women’s” style. Conversely, women with very wide feet, or over a size 10, should check the sizing for he “men’s” products.

The women’s Z-Trek is a bit narrower, and the webbing is 4mm thinner.

So if you have a narrow foot, whether you’re a man or woman, you may want to check the “women’s” sizing templates and see how those work for you. Similarly, if you have a wider foot, regardless of your gender, check out the “men’s” templates.

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.

Please go to Xero Shoes Return Policy page to learn about our 45-day return policy.

Love My New Z-Trek

Love the design and feel. I’m a reformed flip flop wearer, I just love to be barefoot and these are great. Haven’t tried wearing them on trails, just wear them out and about running errands. I am a 9.5 and ordered a 10, would order a 9 next time. I printed out both sizes to measure, but I’m so used to having hangover with sandals, I wanted to be sure. So the straps are a little long. But still love them.

LOVE THEM!

I have worn chacos for years and loved them in summertime, but ever since I started wearing barefoot shoes, I’ve noticed it’s harder and harder to switch back and forth between my shoes with a lifted heel. My feet have changed (for the better - they feet stronger and don’t get fatigued even when I’m standing all day). I went hiking in my chacos, though, and the next day, my feet, legs, & back were SO sore! I immediately bought the x-trek sandals. I took them on a trip to Boston and walked all over the city for 3 days & my feet didn’t hurt one bit. I was amazed and kept commenting on it. I would take these sandals anyplace and have been constantly loving them every time I use them! Thanks!!!

AMAZING

Every single member of our immediate family owns a pair. And for excellent reason - they are incredibly comfortable, nobody is in pain, and we can hike, swim, play all summer long in these stylish wonderful sandals. Many people comment on our sandals and inquire, so we love to share our story of transitioning to barefoot!! 🙂

Comfortable

These are great sandals. I've struggled with sandals with tight straps squeezing my toes and heel straps that rub and chafe. My Z-treks are far more comfortable for all day walking. They got me through hours of walking through Ikea and the Mall of America without tired feet or blisters. The only difficulty that I have is with the sizing. I am between sizes. I printed the template for 2 sizes to help me decide and I went with the larger size. Next time I'll order a size down because the straps are on the long side with only a sliver of velcro on the heel strap holdingthee strap secure and some extra sole in front of my toes. Still, I love them enough that I'm not willing to part with them long enough to exchange for a smaller size.

Really like them! I wish the straps were a little easier to adjust, but other than that, they are great.

Z-Trek -Women

After wearing during Dragon Boat races, I have to say I love everything. They are comfortable, and easily adjustable. The straps dry super fast and they look good. I am “showing” them off to my teammates. Nothing but positive feedback. Thank you Xero shoes.

Great shoe!

This is my first time trying a sandal and I am very pleased with it. The fit is easily adjusted and the shoe is comfortable, providing just the right amount of support.
