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.

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).

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

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).

2nd Pair!

I wore my first pair of Z-Trail EV sandals all summer last year. I was less than a year into transitioning to minimalist shoes and my Z-Treks seemed a little too barefoot for some situations yet at that time, so I bought the Z-Trail EV for just a little more cushion with all the same benefits. I love how adjustable they are. Once you figure out the strap to fit your foot perfectly, you can just use the heel strap to get in and out and leave the top strap alone so you don't need to adjust it again. The outsole is super durable and the footbed is comfortable. I've worn these casually around town, to the pool, hiking, camping, and biking. I've even played some disc golf and tossed around the football with the kids in these. I had no problem with any of these activities or lateral movement. The footbed can get a little slippery when wet, so you may want to tighten the strap or take a moment to wipe the footbed dry if you are hiking and cross water before you handle any incline. After a summer of wearing them, the footbed shows a little wear and indentation from my heel, but these will easily last another summer or longer. They don't pick up foot smell too quickly, and they wash up easily by hand. The outsole barely looks worn at all (see the "Multi-Brown" color on the left) after a full summer of wear. I bought the Red colorway (on the right) this past November to have a second pair and second color option. (The Veracruz sandals at the top are relatively new too - I found those in Australia last fall, after they were discontinued). I will be enjoying all 3 of these sandals again as soon as the weather warms up!

Love them!

I wear these just about anywhere I go. Now that the weather is warming up, these are the perfect sandals to just slip on and go about my day.

Product dosn`t work for my feet.

My foot has a more straight format, and on this sandal my smaller fingers were going outside of it even tho I got the right size. I also found that the sandals are too basic for the price they are asking; The closing strap behind has a sewing point that does not seen like something that will last for long. You can find something similar for 20-30 bucks.They are minimalist on the construction of the product, but not on price.

Amazing sandal!

I got a pair of the Z-trail sandals for me and my wife! They feel amazing on our feet and the tread seems like it will be great for adventures! I am excited to use these this summer on my portage trips where you go in and out of water and over rugged terrain! There was a defect issue with one of my sandals when i first got them, the back strap was too short for my size 14 and didn't go all the way around my foot. Xero customer service was great and sent me a replacement pair right away! Amazing company and looking forward to getting more shoes!

Great Customer Service

These sandals are great, nice and thin. Good for everyday walking and easy hikes; they are very lightweight. The sole is strong and has never broken for me. However, the straps have broken on me about 3 separate times. Each time I was on a difficult hike, perhaps these are not meant for intense hikes. Each time it was either the plastic loop in the back, or the stitching itself that came undone. They need to upgrade their straps to match the strength of their their soles. Each time they broke I reached out to customer support and got a free replacement. Each time they were very quick to respond and considerate. Overall these are great sandals for everyday walking, but not for hikes. Customer service is also very great.

All In

Comfort, cushioning, fit : check. Lightness : double check. These pups make all my other shoes feel very chunky and slightly awkward. Gonna have to check out some of their other shoes!
