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).

I really wanted to like these

This is the 3rd pair of xero shoes that I've owned. My wife wears xeros and my kids wear xeros. I expected these to be as amazing as the other pairs of shoes have been (mesa trail 1, and speed force). I'll start with the good. These are good for short walks around town on flat ground. I found the tread to be exceptional on any surface. The first issue I had was with the stitching from the xero shoes logo over the big toe. It rubbed the top of my big toe on both sandals for the first 50 miles or so. It seemed to soften over time. The second issue I had was with the footbed. Any amount of moisture caused the footbed to become a slippery mess. Even on flat surfaces, it felt unsafe and completely unusable on any amount of incline. The amazing tread is wasted because of the footbed. I don't know how people manage to hike in these.

It's disappointing to hear that your experience with the Z-Trail EV sandals didn't meet your expectations, especially given your positive experiences with other Xero shoes. The issues you encountered with the stitching and footbed are certainly concerning, particularly the slipperiness when moisture is present. It's crucial for outdoor footwear to provide reliable traction in various conditions, and it seems like this aspect fell short in your case. Your feedback about the challenges you faced with these sandals will be valuable for the company to consider as they continue to improve their products. Thank you for sharing your honest review.

The best sandals

These sandals are awesome. They are light weight, super comfortable, and feel really secure on your feet. I wear them everywhere I go whether it’s a hike through the woods or a trip to the grocery store. Plus they look great.

Most comfortable sandal ever

These things are so comfortable and light, yet still supportive. My Chacos are going to the wayside.

It's great to hear that you're enjoying your new sandals! Giving a 4-star rating while they're still new makes sense; it's always good to take some time to see how they hold up over the long term. If you have any further thoughts or feedback as you continue to wear them, feel free to share!
