Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Z-Trail EV

I always love my Xero shoes purchases! I purchased this shoe in dusty rose. It looks like a soft purple to me. It's a pretty color! The fit is true to size and perfect for wide feet. I don't plan on wearing them at the beach because I want the dusty rose color to stay pretty, but I have black Z-Trail sandals that I have worn at the beach and in the ocean and they work so well. I wear my Z-Trails for walks/jogs around the neighborhood, running errands, when I'm out and about with family and friends, and in the ocean/swimming pools. I get a lot of use out of them and they hold up well!

I love these sandals! They are so comfortable. I like to be barefoot in the summer so these are perfect for when I need shoes for walking. I was hesitant at first because there is not an arch support but they are working great for me! My feet are happy!

I love how I feel like I have nothing on my feet. These are so light and flexible. The strap adjustment allows for the shoe to be perfectly secured to your foot. I love these. My new go to summer sandal.

I have a couple pairs of thong style barefoot sandals from other brands, but was looking for something that didnt go between my toes. These are SO COMFY! The only thing I wish was different is the way you have to undo the Velcro at your heel to get on and off. I like the close in the front. Takes some getting used to but these are so good!

I got these to have some solid sandals after having had Xero shoes for almost a year, so I'm used to the flat sole and could never go back. These are very comfy and I like that there aren't any straps to go between my toes. My only problem with them would be that after adjusting, the leftover strap is very long and has nothing to attach to, so it can get in the way; when I find a moment I want to stick on some velcro, then they'll be perfect.

The size is right after adjusting the ankle strap. Overall a good purchase.

The ultimate barefoot sandals

These are the greatest sandals ever! I feel so grounded to the earth. Super comfortable & really life changing. I have seen such a change in my foot arch and i feel so alive!! I recommend to anyone who loves to be barefoot, or needing arch support. Going to buy in all colors.

I have had knee problems most of my life and purchased so many shoes trying to help with the pain. Wearing my Prios and Z Trail sandals have literally changed my life. No more knee pain!!! I have tossed out all my other athletic shoes and sandals. Never going back.

I absolutely love how light and flexible these are! These are by far my favorite sandals that I've ever bought. Been hiking in them and they are excellent for feeling the ground. Would definitely recommend!

Omg! Best sandals ever!! I call them my all purpose! I also have phoenix knit and his shoes! Love xeros!!

I'm really glad I try those sandals! They are super comfortable and they stay really well on your feet. I'm a size 6 1/2 usually and for everyday sandals I would have prefer a size 6 in those z-trail, but since I want to wear them on my trhu hike with socks, I'm glad I picked the 7.

Really happy with my new purchase. I ordered my standard size, which is 8 and in the color magenta. I was pleasantly surprised by how bright and colourful the sandal is. The photo online does not do it justice. I plan to buy more. Thanks again!

Size was good. I like to go barefoot and thought this would be good for me but I fell too much back on my heel. Others will enjoy.

I really wanted to love this sandal. Super cute, well-made, nice color. I ordered based on the Xero Shoes recommendation, even printing their template. I tried wearing them nearly non-stop for a couple days and the zero-drop was great. However, no matter how snuggly I tightened them, there was too much foot bed and my foot moved too much. I ordered a half size smaller, 7.5, and they were perfect. I love the new ones and highly recommend them. My primary complaint is Xero's inconsistent sizing. As a manufacturer, the words "runs small" or "runs big" should not be a product descriptor. It should always be "runs true to size" and have a size chart in both inches and centimeters, as well as universal standard US and European sizes.

Great barefoot sandal! When you get the straps adjusted, they fit great (watch the video on their website…they need to be tighter than you think). The main issue I have is that you can feel the nubs on the sole while walking, and this can throw off your bony alignment if one hits at a metatarsal head. The Z-Trek is more comfortable for that reason, but the blue/purple color is gorgeous and there is a lot of grip if you’re wearing these hiking.

These feel wonderful on my feet, as long as I'm wearing them on a not-too-hard surface. I have a neck injury, and chronic neck pain, so often I will need more cushioning when walking, hence only 4 stars. But I do love how these feel, wish I could wear them everywhere! They are very thin, so I'm curious how well/long they will hold up...

Not for those with large insteps. There is a 2.5" strip of velcro that secures the sandal around the ankle, but I can only use less than half an inch of it, even after adjusting the other straps. There's no way I will go walking or hiking with that little of velcro connection, and it'll probably get worn out faster like that. My mom tried them on, and she has a normal instep. They fit her properly.

I wore them as slippers inside this winter. Wore them out with socks for the first time. Still very comfy.

Enjoying the ease of use and comfort that comes with these bad boys. I can use them as a slipper, and then convert for a longer walk quickly. I will say the Velcro that holds them in place doesnt always work well, especially when I tried to use for a hike. Great for my daily walks/daily use.

These are great, super lightweight and flexible and adjustable. I do have to tighten them quite a bit if I'm going to be in water. Because the soles are very thin and flexible I have had them get caught up and almost trip me (like the toe area catching on the edge of a curb) a few times but I've learned to pick my feet up! :)

Very comfortable but take a bit of fiddling to get adjustments to work. Only criticism is the placement of the velcro fastening for the heel, she had to re-do as original placement pushed her foot forward and toes off the front of the sandal.

The most comfortable shoe I've ever worn! Well worth the investment. My feet only start getting slightly tired after 10km of walking whereas in traditional sandals it is more like 3km. Unfortunately, one of the connecting loops quickly broke after playing a game of volleyball in them. However, I sewed it back together and they've been keeping up ever since. Would definitely recommend but maybe don't play volleyball in them.

These sandals almost fit me fine, but the shape of my foot wasn't quite right for this shoe and my toes kept sliding forward. The strap across the toes also didn't hit in a good place. Comfort wise, they were very good and I wish I could have kept them. I love my Xero Shoes HFS so I was hoping that the sandals would fit as well.

I checked the size chart and ordered accordingly, but I think I might end up stubbing my toes, as they were very close to the end of the shoes. The straps are a beautiful pink/rose, but they felt uncomfortable when I was strapped in enough to hold them securely on my feet. Sadly, I’m returning them.
