Why You’ll Love the Genesis
Genesis – It’s More Than a Sandal
The Genesis is more than a sandal, it’s the heart of Xero Shoes. Inspired by one of humanity’s earliest footwear designs, the Genesis is where the Xero Shoe journey began… and still defines it today.
Every detail embodies Xero Shoes’ purpose: empowering natural movement, honoring simplicity, and letting your feet do what they were meant to do. When you choose the Genesis, you’re not just buying a sandal; you’re stepping into the core vision of Xero Shoes – a commitment to living life feet first.
I love them. The rope toe piece is very comfortable. I like the stretchy rope straps that make putting them on a snap.
Easy On/Off and Packable
The Genesis is all about effortless style. The pre-laced, adjustable system means they’re easy on/off. They’re also featherlight, and ultra-packable. Lay them flat, roll them up, or clip them to your bag – the perfect travel companion for everything from a day by the pool to an extended vacation.

Natural Movement
The barefoot design of the Genesis lets your feet adjust and mold to the terrain, so you can move with confidence and agility. This is different from stiff-soled sandals that force you to move on top of the ground without really connecting to it.
In the Genesis you’ll enjoy all the benefits and comfort of natural movement without compromising on style.
