Xero ShoesWomen's Z-Trek, Zero Drop Hiking Sandals

I love these. They feel good and look good. The black pair in the photos are the ones I just bought, women's size 6. The brown ones are the ones I bought 2 years ago, women's size 7. The only critiques I have are that they don't come in brown anymore and that I wish they had half sizes. Both 6 and 7 work fine enough for me but a 6.5 would be perfect. Also I would say these run large because I'm normally a 7/8 not a 6/7 and for reference my feet are 9 inches. If you've never worn barefoot shoes before your feet may hurt until you get used to them, but that's universal and not a flaw of the brand or shoe.

Absolutely love these sport sandals! I normally wear a 7.5; order 1/2 size down as suggested by manufacturer and they fit great. The style is sporty and light weight. The soles provide enough protection while the straps are soft. I just wore them for a ruck (hence the slightly swollen feet pictured, lol) and they held up fantastically.

Uncomfortable. The back support doesnt sit right on my foot and its very bothersome on the back of my foot. Would be better without that back piece which I know is there to protect the foot and just a regular strap like the jesse sandals. I thought i would get used to it and have worn them so unfortunately i am out 65$.

They might be ok if you size down. Make sure you measure your feet according to the directions on their website and check their templates too.

Bought these because I love a fully adjustable strap design, and I'm working on loving the "barefoot" element. First, I like them enough to keep them and wear them. They are plain so they can be worn with just about anything, which is a plus. They take up very little room if you are packing them, so another plus. They seem well made, with no obvious flaws. So what's not too love, right? Style wise, the places where the strapping attaches could look a little more integrated, for my taste. But ultimately, the thing that bothers me the most about this shoe is that, because of the ultra thin design, the toe area tends to act like a scoop in any less than solid terrain. So asphalt, concrete, hard pan -- all good. But any hiking on trails and *scoop* there's a pebble, or a stick, or a handful of dirt right inside my shoe, trying it's best to get right up under my instep! It's not constant, but it's enough to bug me. Maybe it's just the way the sandal fits my particular foot, or the way I walk, but it keeps these from being the perfect replacement "everywhere" sandal I was looking for. Overall, I'm still pretty impressed with these and I like them for wearing around town, buy maybe I'll try one of their other styles next time in an effort to avoid the 'scoop'.

Very flat sole. That’s what I wanted!

I love these sandals. They are lightweight and feel great. The only complaint I have is the toe 'box' is a bit wide which isn't aesthetically pleasing to me, and I ended up sewing a small piece of velcro to the instep strap to hold the heel strap in place as it was too long after adjusting the fit. Although the price is rather ridiculous, I do love the comfort of them.

You have to adjust the straps perfectly several times a day to keep the shoes in the right position so they don’t force you to alter your gait. Not a great barefoot sandal, unfortunately. My coworker says I sound like “a little penguin” everywhere I go in our office.
