Men’s Shoe Sizing Info

  • All of our men’s shoes are wider than conventional men’s shoes. If you normally wear a larger size to get a wider fit in conventional shoes, you may not have to do that with Xero Shoes.
  • Natural materials (like leather or canvas) may stretch during initial wear.
  • If you think of your foot as particularly narrow, you can consider ordering a women’s style. Many of our male customers find a great fit in our women’s styles. Just be sure to adjust the size by 1.5 (for example a men’s 7 is the same as a women’s 8.5).
  • People like different types of fit — some like their toes near the end, others like 1/4″-1/2″ of extra space.

Sandals

2 Simple Steps to the Correct Fit

  • Find your usual shoe size on the charts below. For the Z-Trek in particular, try 1 size smaller than your usual size.
  • Verify the fit by printing the appropriate size template and comparing it to your foot. This step is very important for getting a great fit the first time.

Fit Information for Xero Sandals

  • The Genesis and the original Cloud are unisex styles. For example a men’s 7 is the same exact shoe as a women’s 8.
  • The Aqua Cloud, Z-Trek and Z-Trail come in wider widths for men’s sizes and narrower widths for women’s sizes. However, many men with narrow feet find a great fit in the women’s sizes, and many women with wider feet find a great fit in the men’s sizes.
  • The Z-Trek is our only sandal that fits larger than expected for many customers. For example, many customers who are a size 9 in the Genesis, Cloud and Z-Trail are a size 8 in the Z-Trek.
  • The soles of the Genesis, original Cloud and Z-Trek are very thin and flexible. We recommend a snug fit for these styles.
  • The sole of the Z-Trail is thicker than our other sandals, so customers can get a roomier fit on this style, if preferred.

Size Charts and Templates

Watch the video below to see how to use the template. For the Venture and original Cloud, the toe post position is very important. For the Z-Trek and Z-Trail, the overall fit is what matters most.

Note: Be sure to print the templates at Actual Size (100% Scale) and verify with a ruler after printing.

Women's Aqua Cloud

*Please note: The Aqua Cloud is a gendered sandal with different widths between Men’s and Women’s. The original Clouds are unisex and use the Genesis template instead.

The Kid's Z-Trail Sandal

Note: Be sure to print the templates at Actual Size (100% Scale) and verify with a ruler after printing.
