Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Z-Trail EV

I have been using my sandals every day for a couple of months, and are planning to continuing until they fall apart. In my opinion they are close to perfect, even tho I live in Norway. I wish they had grounding soles and as well more grip on wet rocks etc. please make these perfect

Perfect barefoot replacement for my old Chacos. Small quibble: Top strap comes loose from the retaining rubberband easily, requires frequent replacement. M

Great shoes for trails, not as good in water or on rough terrain because the foot bed gets slippery. Their light weight make them great to carry on a backpacking trip. I worry, though, about the Velcro closure wearing out--maybe a Chaco-like design for the heel strap would be better.

The sandals are just o.k. they don't fit that well and the band isn't very comfortable on the top of the food. The band is long and have to find somewhere to tuck it it or it's flapping around. I bought them as I wait for any kind of stock to come in. I thought I would own one of everything by now. Instead I'm looking for other companies to satisfy my needs. Too bad.

These sandals are super comfy. The thin sole keeps me feeling connected to the ground much more than other similar looking sandals. The straps give me a really secure fit that are comfortable for road and trail running. Ive even used them paddle boarding.

These are good sandals. Light, good foot feel.

The right sandal was doable. Close in length but I think it would have worked. The left as a full size too short--first time Ive ever been mis-matched like that

The footbed is slippery when wet and the sizing and fit are a little odd/imperfect. Otherwise, I like them. They are less than 1/3 of the weight of my Chacos.

They seem well built and I like the look and concept but there is one major flaw- they are not (my) foot shaped. On the right foot, for instance, it starts out fine from the back, then it has this significant curve to the left, which effectively pushes all of my toes to the right. I dont understand whos foot is shaped like this. Hopefully my feedback can help. I would like to try again in the future.

I took them on a 15 mile trail hike in the Shenandoah's. Nearly lost my smalls toes several times on rock because the sole folds under and there is no side protection.

I moved from Chaco to Xero for daily wear, in order to use zero drop everywhere since I now hike in Altria. These were difficult to fit. Adjusting the strap while wearing them is nearly impossible. The strap is narrow and digs in. When wearing looser as I would Chaco, my foot slid around and developed blisters on the balls of each big toe. Im hoping after some break in period that I'll create some depression in the footed where I don't slide and can loosen the straps.

These sandals are massively oversized. I have huge feet but they were swimming in these and I frequently caught the toe of the sandal on rocks and branches. Also of concern is that the straps are endlessly long; they flapped everywhere and there isn't a good way to keep them under control. Perhaps these would work if you were wearing extremely thick socks or had immense foot bones but for normal-sized people, they're just too big.

Felt comfortable from first wearing. Exactly as I expected them to be from the product decription.

Minimalist shoes are not for everyone.

stops working in 4 months or less, poorly made. otherwise good.
