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.

“I’m absolutely in love with them and already use them for EVERYTHING. Walking, hiking, even everyday chores and tasks!”  – Megan H.

The comfort of a sport sandal upper, the lightweight, barely-there feel of a packable travel sandal. This combo lets the Z-Trek do it all.

WHY WILL THE THE Z-TREK BE YOUR FAVORITE ALL-PURPOSE SANDAL?

COMFORT AND SECURITY.

The Z-Trek is an upgrade to the popular original, now with smooth, tubular nylon straps made from rPET recycled materials. The fully adjustable strap system lets you fine tune your fit, giving you the security you love in Xero Shoes.

The 6.0 mm FeelTrue® sole gives fantastic ground feel while still protecting you from the elements, while the dual direction chevron tread provides you confident grip. All that and they still only weigh 5.6 ounces each for a women’s 7.

NATURAL FEELING. NATURAL STYLE. 

 The Z-trek is stylish and available in multiple colors. They’ll confidently take you from jogging at the beach, to your favorite water-sport, to a stroll through town, all while enjoying the benefits of natural freedom.

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-Trek.

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 wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, a 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.

You sure can. Just slide the webbing through the slots on the outside of the sole to get the tension you like.

Note: A lot of our customers report that they like the toe strap looser than they thought they would. Experiment and see what you like best.

Use the templates that are linked on this page (next to where you select the size, and in the product description).

NOTE: Please measure your foot and/or use the templates. Sandal size is very often different than shoe size.

Pretty much anything you want. Take a walk on the beach, a hike in the woods, hang out with friend, stroll around the campsite, approach a climb, paddle a canoe, run a marathon…

I’m not sure that Z-Trek, or any sandal for that matter, is right for lateral motion sports, like tennis or basketball.

So, use your common sense and HAVE FUN!

There are 54 different foot shapes. And no product will fit everyone perfectly.

If you’re not sure you have the right size, drop us an email with some photos (top, side, back) and we’ll give you our opinion.

If you have the right size but the Z-Trek shape doesn’t quite match your foot… CUT IT! That’s right, you can trim the Z-Trek with a good pair of kitchen scissors. To finish the edge cleanly, try some sandpaper. Don’t cut off too much, too soon, though. Take off just a bit, and then see how you did. Remember, you can’t UN-cut.

If you’re a man with a very narrow foot, you may be better in the “women’s” style. Conversely, women with very wide feet, or over a size 10, should check the sizing for he “men’s” products.

The women’s Z-Trek is a bit narrower, and the webbing is 4mm thinner.

So if you have a narrow foot, whether you’re a man or woman, you may want to check the “women’s” sizing templates and see how those work for you. Similarly, if you have a wider foot, regardless of your gender, check out the “men’s” templates.

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.

The shoes of my dreams

I love these shoes!!!! I wear them all the time for walking around town. I can't wait to try them hiking when the trails reopen.

Love these!

I like these shoes very much. Can't figure out how to keep the pebbles out on my outdoor walks (dirt and gravel paths) but definitely comfortable and sturdy.

Summer shoe swap!

Each season I swap out my shoes for a better and barefoot option. I already own the Aqua Cloud but was looking to replace my strappy chunky adventure sandal and the Z-Trek was on my list! I was thrilled when they arrived in time for a graduation party to be held at the lake so I could put them to the test! There is enough shoe to keep my feet protected from the elements, but not so much that I can’t walk naturally and enjoy foot freedom! My 4 star review comes from the amount of strap remaining after the shoes have been tightened. I don’t like tucking straps but that is what I have to do to avoid the strappy flappy look. Other than the extra strap I am very pleased. The color, the weight, the flexibility…they were exactly what I was hoping for which is why when it’s time for a shoe swap I shop at Xero. PS and a shout out to customer service. There was a glitch and I ended up ordering twice and it was handled quickly and gladly. Thanks, Xero!!!

I love them!

I love these sandals! At first the lip on the back of the sandal felt funny and I thought would be a problem but I soon forgot about it and they have been great! I have wide feet and these are perfect! My 3rd pair of xero shoes and I love the other two as well!

Excellent sandals!

These are the only shoes I've been wearing since the snow melted. Great fit and feel, good protection from sharp rocks, but let my feet "do their thing".

My first minimalist footwear- love them!

These are a great all purpose sandal. Bought them before two very different weather trips and they have been great for both! Water, hiking, relaxed activities and stylish too. The heel cup felt a bit strange at first but I don’t even notice it anymore.

Love them!

I think these shoes are great so far! I really wanted to try barefoot shoes but at a lower price point than the typical sneaker-style ones and these are perfect. My calves have been a little sore at first but I just think my legs and feet are getting stronger. I have been wearing them daily since I received them in the mail!

The only sandals I need

I own 3 pairs (all black) of these and I love them. They are easy to clean and are fun to wear.

I love them, but…

I like the Z-Trek sandal. I find them to be comfortable. I’ve walked miles with no foot issues. The one issue I’m having is my left foot is maybe a half-size smaller than my right. In other sandals, I don’t notice any issues. But this will lead to me “tripping” on my left foot as it sometimes drags during my gait. Hard to describe. I think it can be resolved if I could order a half size smaller for my left foot than my right. This is not a Xero shoe problem. It’s just that it’s more noticeable in these sandals than any other shoe I wear (including my other Xero shoes). I’d still recommend them, especially if you don’t share this same issue!! My husband is genius and I’m going to see if he can cut the left foot bed down so it closer matches to where my right foot fits in the sandal.

Best Minimalist Sandal

I always wear a size 8.5, but I ordered a size 8 sandal and they fit perfectly. I thought the shape looked weird in some of the photos, but they actually ended up looking great on my feet. They are everything that I wanted - I can wear them in the rain (won't soak in moisture), I can hike in these (some YouTubers even run in them), and they feel good. They fit perfectly and I like feeling the earth under my feet without worrying something will hurt my foot. You can easily slide into them and go - I will be using these all summer for every occasion. (I used to have a pair of Vivobarefoot sandals that were similar, but it appears they no longer make sandals. I would be happy to order this Xero sandal again, if needed.)
