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.

“Love these shoes! I wear these from the gym, to work, to church, to the beach.
Great style and wearability!”  – Larry K.

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 5.4 ounces each for a men’s size 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!

GOES ANYWHERE. GOES WITH ANYTHING.

Available in three colors, 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).

Awesome hiking sandals.

I bought 2 pairs of these - one for my wife and one for myself. We have already hiked several miles in them and we love how they feel! They are super light on our feet and keep my feet from sweating too much. No hot spots at all. It took a bit to get them adjusted correctly, and when hiking the adjustment needed changing vs. When I first put them on. But when I got the straps set just right they stay put and are easy to take on and off. What can I say, these are great hiking sandals! Five stars.

Z-Trail EV Review

My favorite sandals ever so far. Was a Chaco fan before this and will never go back. Feel they fit a tad smaller than true to size though and the straps are hard to adjust at first but get broken in. For hiking these sandals would be better with a toe strap but they are great for everyday life without the toe strap.

Super comfy and freeing!

The flexible sole and ultra lightweight sandle is fantastic. I'm a woman but I ordered the mens because I like the red straps and so far, they are working great.

Best of both worlds

Fit like a glove! Wonderful sandles. Thin enough to feel like you are connected to the earth, but thick enough to protect my feet. Love them.

Awesome Shoes

I am impressed. I’m usually a Teva sandal guy, but they haven’t had my size since the pandemic (size 15). I tried these after seeing them a couple of places, and I’m blown away. They are super comfortable, and they are beyond light. I’ll be using these bad boys on an upcoming thru hike in the fall.

Very comfortable and look great

I really like the Z-Trail EV - Men sandal. This sandal is very comfortable and looks great. The sole is thick enough to protect your feet from sharp edged rocks and broken sticks while thin enough for you to feel the bumps and dips of the terrain. They fit great and are fairly easy to adjust. I'm able to wear these all day without having to take them off to "rest" my feet. They simply feel good. I would like for there to be a way for the heel strap to be fixed or adjustable without Velcro. Even without a fixed heel strap, they're still an excellent sandal that I would buy again if these wear out and I would definitely recommend them to others.

Love these sandals

The Z-Trail EVs are so comfortable and lightweight that I hardly know I am wearing them. At the same time, they provide excellent protection and a great feel for the trail. The custom fit is excellent. I highly recommend them especially if you have ever worn Chaco or Teva sandals.
