Ultra-minimalist Fisherman Sandals

Ultra-minimal barefoot sandle tying style

Similar to the Ultra-minimalist Hitch style, it’s a single lace barefoot sandal tying pattern. Add a Fisherman’s knot and you have something comfy, without a knot at the top of your foot.

Once you get the tension just right, you slip ’em on and off in a second. People use this tying style for everything from walking to running marathons.

First, a few tying tips and notes:

Tying the Lace knot:

This is the knot we most commonly use, especially with our 100% polyester laces.

The “Lace Bead”:

This is the smallest “knot” you can make for your Xero Shoes.

Tying a Figure-8 knot:

If you have our original laces with the nylon core, you’ll want to use this knot.
