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.

FEEL CONNECTED TO YOUR WORLD WHEN YOU RUN IN THE MESA TRAIL II

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.

WE MAKE TRAIL RUNNING SHOES 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 Mesa Trail II.

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, low-to-the-ground design for better balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you the combination of grip, protection, and ground-feel your brain wants to help you Live Life Feet First.

Do you ship internationally?

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.

Good minimalist trail shoe with a couple issues

These were my first Xero shoes and they are very lightweight and flexible. I'm closing in on around 100 miles for this pair and have been a pretty good intro to minimalist trail running shoes. The Mesa Trail II shoes have worked best for me on shorter runs on trails that are not super rocky or technical. I have done up to 8 miles in them and definitely felt my feet after that run, but I am still building up my foot and ankle strength. While I love the foot volume of these shoes since I usually have to order EE width, the Mesa Trail II does seem to be a bit long for the size (men's 10.5). I have since ordered the Scrambler Low and the HFS II; both fit a bit more true to size. I'm unsure if it's because of the extra length or a separate issue, but I have also had problems with the insoles on the Mesa Trail II sliding in the shoe. I ended up putting a little glue beneath them because I would find the insoles up behind my heels after a run especially if there was any steep downhill. I'm not sure if I would buy another pair of these (or a follow on model) unless the insole issue is fixed, but also because I now have the Scrambler Low shoe and it is quickly becoming my go-to for local trails here in the Tahoe/Truckee area.

Insole slips around in one shoe

The shoes seem well made. I am however disappointed that one insole slides backwards when I walk. To the point it’s not comfortable within 10-15 steps. So I’m going to have to either glue it in place or use double sided tape.

Got worse with every version

The original Mesa Trail was THE trail shoe for me, the sole was flexible and sticky, the upper soft and breathable. With the Mesa Trail II, the sole got stiffer, and the inner sole moves up the heel, not by far as good as the original The Mesa Trail WP is even worse. Stiff, not breathable - please bring the original Mesa trail back!!!
