“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.

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.

Magic shoes.

These by far exceeded my expectations. As a ups driver I rack up miles on my feet everyday. I ordered these shoes as a spring summer work shoe when I don’t need my big clunky work boots. I’m still new to the barefoot game but have several pairs I wear regularly when not at work but I was worried about how my feet would feel wearing barefoots during a whole shift which is around 11 hours and 20K steps a day. I was surprised that not only did my feet feel great at the end of the day, the pain I already have in my feet on a regular basis while wearing my clunky work boots with orthopedic insoles instantly went away after putting these shoes on in the morning. These have become one of my favorite pairs of Xero shoes that I have next to the HFS but I’m yet to find a pair I don’t like. These are my 5th pair I’ve bought and couldn’t be happier. Don’t hesitate if you’re thinking about grabbing a pair. Your feet will thank you.

Very good

I’ve only worn these for a couple weeks. I ordered a half size larger as I like more room in the toe box. My foot is right on the edge of being a wide. I would take Xero’s advice and order these true to size. They would be roomy enough true to size wearing mid weight wool socks. The half size larger does give me a full thumbs width in front of my big toe and there are no negative side effects wearing a half size larger. The fabric wets out quickly but dries very fast. Excellent. I love the removable insole as I found them more comfortable without the extra cushioning. These are the closest I’ve found to the original Merrell Trail Glove that was perfect in its first two iterations. The only problem I’ve found is that I get a “pocket” of sand between the outer mesh and interior liner at the “strap” next to the little toe. It puts pressure on my little toe and needs to be removed. Fortunately, I can get it out fairly quickly. I’m not sure if this is a defect to my pair or not. The sand is gettin in there playing with the gym equipment at the park with my toddler.

WOW

I have waited until all the snow was gone before I took my new shoes out for a run. The wait was worth it!!! I have actually gone for 2 runs in them. Both runs the shoes were terrific. Comfy secure and just right for my feet. Not much actual train running but what there was they were very good with dirt trails. Thanks for this great shoe

~50 mile review: Excellent fit and finish, great on natural surface trails

I have particularly wide feet and a pretty high arch, too, so take my sizing review with that in mind. If you've got wide feet and a high arch, you'll want to order at least a half-size larger. Even with half a size up, it didn't fit right until several lace adjustments and a decent amount of break-in stretching later. And it's still tight across the top of the ball of my foot. This process is pretty normal for me given how non-standard my foot shape is, so no minus points there. That being said, once I got it to the point I felt comfortable wearing it, it's a fantastic shoe. Even though it's tight across the ball, there's no fatigue, stress, or injury on my foot at the end of a 5-mile hike on lightly groomed, natural surface trail at speed (~4-5mph). It is wonderfully light, but still feels rugged and offers good protection on natural surface trails. The lace design that attaches to/near the sole offers a lot of support. This is probably the first natural shaped shoe I've worn that didn't rub my achiles raw, so big points there. The upper breathes well, and the included inserts are supportive and comfortable, even for my high arches. The feel without the inserts is best described as confidently barefoot. You will feel everything, but your feet will survive it all, too. If you need me to think of even just one complaint, it's that by "trail" it means "recently groomed, relatively even/flat surfaces". The sole is fine unless you're having to step on stones. You won't feel all of them (with the inserts in) but you know they're there for certain. The upper of the shoe is so thin that even smaller, green branches can be felt through it with little force. No damage has been done to the shoes by my experimenting here, to their credit. That said, do not expect these to be like hiking shoes. They aren't. As long as you understand where you can take the shoe, you won't be disappointed.
