Limited quantities are available before that date.

“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.

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

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

WHAT MAKES THE Z-TRAIL EV THE ULTIMATE SPORTS SANDAL?

LIGHTWEIGHT PROTECTION THAT FEELS JUST RIGHT.

The Z-Trail EV features an updated 11mm 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 4.3 ounces each for a women’s size 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!

GOES ANYWHERE. GOES WITH ANYTHING.

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.

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-Trail EV.

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 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.

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.

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).

comfortable and minimal but not sure how well they'll wear long-term

As I say in the title, they're comfortable and about as minimal as you can get. But, as with other Xero sandals I've had, the toe flap tends to catch occasionally when I'm walking and it kinda gets trashed. I'm nervous to try running in them or anything more adventurous than flat walking, for fear of tripping. I also don't love how much the top strap sticks out. But strictly in terms of performance, so far I can't fault them.

New kicks

I’m excited to try these barefoot sandals as summer approaches. They will take some getting used to as the straps are placed differently.

That sounds like an exciting adventure! Transitioning to barefoot sandals can indeed take some time to get used to, especially with the different strap placements. Take your time and allow your feet to adjust gradually. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need tips along the way. Wishing you many comfortable and enjoyable steps as you embrace the summer with your new barefoot sandals!

My favorite everything sandal

I’ve had these for a couple years now and figured that was long enough to write my review. These were my first pair of barefoot shoes. I am usually a size 8-8.5 and I bought a size 8, the fit is great. These sandals have held up with amazing durability over the past couple of warm seasons. My first time feeling super impressed with them was an all-day trip walking around in the heat at a theme park. So much walking and waiting in lines. Absolutely no pain in my feet, no blisters. They’ve done amazing while hiking, I take them on every climbing trip. Nice and grippy on steep approaches and no slipping as long as they are securely fastened on my foot. I’ve worn them consistently to work walking around indoors all day and my feet were comfortable. I noticed some people mention the Velcro wearing out so I have mostly worn them with the method of loosening and sliding the back strap off my heel instead of undoing the Velcro every time and I haven’t had any issues with it. I love these!
