Product Description

“The Mesa Trail II is even better than the original! It feels grippier on different trail surfaces, and is one of the lightest trail runners out there. – Alex L.

Tens of thousands of Xero Shoes customers loved the Mesa Trail’s combination of lightweight comfort and trail-gripping security.

The Mesa Trail II improves on that with more rugged, durable, and protective welded components on the upper, a breathable mesh, and a moisture-wicking lining that’s ready for wherever you take it.

LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORT

You’ll love hitting the trails with this “just right” balance of lightweight comfort and trail-gripping security. At just 7.8oz for a men’s size 9, the Mesa Trail II is even lighter than the original.

The adjustable midfoot and instep straps hug this trail runner snugly to your foot. The thin, durable toe cap and tough sidewall welding work hard to give you added protection.

TRAIL-GRIPPING

Our patented FeelTrue™ sole features 3.5mm lugs for optimal traction. Enjoy how our 3.5mm TrailFoam™ layer evens out the bumps during your trail run.

Love these shoes!

I absolutely love these shoes. They are lightweight, comfortable, and built really well. Like other reviewers, the insole in one of the shoes refuses to remain in place and continues to slide backwards. I’m going to try the carpet tape trick and see if that corrects the issue.

Mesa Trail - Mens

Your product is superb. I received a tip to try Zero shoes for my walking/golf game. I purchased a pair and have worn them for three rounds of golf. Absolutely amazing! I’m over 70 years so you know how important comfortable shoes need to be. Yours are! They grip the ground yet leave no marks on golf greens. I’m hooked.

Extremely comfortable

As always these Xero shoes are extremely comfortable, light and well designed. The expanded colors and patterns to choose from are also very attractive. Much more choices compared to 5 or 6 years ago.

Real World Application...So Far

I am a career firefighter, that requires extremely durable footwear to wear with my daily shift uniform. They receive significant amounts of abuse through daily duties, trainings, and medical emergencies. In addition to durability, they must be easy to clean, and able to dry quickly (since I wanted a breathable, non-waterproof shoe). I have recently become intrigued with the many benefits of minimalist shoes and had searched across the Internet to find a "true" minimalist shoe that could stand up to the test. Thus far, the Mesa Trail II has been the perfect choice to deliver those highly desired minimalist features while handling anything I can throw at it! I am so pleased with my purchase, and hope that they continue to impress over time. Thanks Xero!

Very Happy

Lovin my new Mesa ll's. If you had Mesa l's, sizing for me was correct 1/2 size smaller than the l's. Not sure if I can tell the difference with the new version because my original pair was so used up but the new ones are WAY better than my old ones, but that could just be because of condition. Either way, very happy.

Game Changer

Been running trails for a while and always wanted to get into minimalist barefoot shoes to run trails, didn’t make the transition until just now. These shoes are very different than what I’m used to but as I’ve learned to run properly over the years, the transition has been fairly easy. The biggest difference is feeling every single bump on the sole of the shoe and that took a couple of runs to get used to however now, it’s feels like I’ve been running in these for a while. Those that run with heels touching the ground, I would highly suggest you start running with on your forefoot and get that down before you move into something like this. Your heels and joints will hurt if you move into these too fast and without and preparation. I’ve only ran a few times in these but as the weather is starting to cool off in the arid desert of AZ, I will be running more. So far, they’re holding up great and are very comfortable right off the bat. The mid part of the shoe as well as the heel feel fairly tight as if you’re wearing a sock and there is no sliding around at all. I wear toe socks with these and I’ve been blasting through the downhill portions of the trail I run on. Soles are very grippy and I feel as if my feet are more stable in these than in my La Sportiva Bushidos. All in all, I love these and will continue to run in and enjoy them. Would highly recommend.

Mesa Trail II vs o.g. Mesa Trail

Having thoroughly loved and worn out my Mesa Trail shoes, I was initially disappointed to find the original model has been replaced with the Mesa Trail II. However, after ordering the sequel and wearing them on a handful of trail runs, I'm quite satisfied with them overall. Only time will tell, but they seem much more durable than the originals -- especially their outsole -- which is surprising because they are also noticeably lighter in weight! So far, they have held up well on the demanding trails of the Green and White Mountains in New Hampshire: rough, sharp granite, roots, and mud have all presented challenges which my Mesa Trail II's have withstood with apparent ease. The traction is good as well, except for on wet rock -- the only scenario in which the original Mesa Trails, with the softer rubber compound used in their outsoles, might have performed better than their younger siblings. I suppose this is the trade-off for greater durability in the Mesa Trail II. Two final comments: the Xero Shoes sizing guide suggests the Mesa Trail II fits true to size -- in my case, I needed a half size smaller than my typical shoe size. Achieving the proper sizing with Xero Shoes is a perennial problem for me; thankfully, Xero Shoes has a reasonable return and exchange program and a relatively quick processing time. Finally, I chose the "Moab Red" color and absolutely love it. The color of the physical shoes is perhaps even a bit more vibrant and rich than the pictures online communicate. Overall, I am very happy with these shoes as trail runners and day hikers. They would have earned 5 stars but for the sizing issue.
