Why you’ll love Z-Trail EV.

Is it the best barefoot hiking sandal? We think so!

The Z-Trail EV offers the perfect combination of lightweight protection, natural flexibility, durability, versatility, style and affordability.

I  Love these sandals! I wear these from the gym, to work, to church, to the beach. Great style and wearability!

Larry K. USA, Verified Z-Trail EV Mens Customer

Lightweight protection that feels just right.

The Z-Trail EV features an updated 11 mm FeelLite™ sole with a middle layer of TrailFoam™ and an updated dual chevron lug pattern that offers the best combination of comfortprotection, and trail-ready traction while still allowing you to bend, move, flex, and feel the terrain beneath your feet.

At just 5.4 oz each for a men’s 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!

Z-Trail EV for everything you do.

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).

FAQs


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 100-day return policy.

Great sandals!

These are amazing sandals, I tried them out the other day for the first time when I went hiking. It was a dirt trail with lots of little rocks so I wasn't sure how it would feel but it was great. I didn't have any issues and these sandals actually have really good traction.

They are great

just as advertised. make sure you watch the video on how to tighten them properly. i find that you can even slip them on and off via the heel strap without un-velcroing!

These sandals are the lightest I've ever purchased

I got these to wear around camp when I go backpacking. I can wear socks with these on cold nights. They will also be handy for creek crossings. As long as they don't come apart before the sole is worn down, I'll be purchasing these again.
