Xero ShoesWomen's Z-Trek Barefoot 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.

This is my first Xero brand shoe. I have been wearing Whitin brand barefoot minimalist shoes (3 styles of them) that I also purchased on Amazon. I wanted a sandal style that I could wear with socks when I wanted to (nothing between the toes) and these looked like they would work well. I wore them yesterday after they arrived and they feel great! The size 7 fit with plenty of room for toes to stretch forward when walking. I like how they adjust to fit the width. Since I didn't have to get used to a barefoot shoe, these felt perfect right off the bat. These are definitely my new sandals!!! My Teva's feel so heavy and clunky now after wearing these Xero's. They will also make great indoor (slippers) shoes with socks in the colder months, so will be wearing them year round.

The straps are thing and do not stay adjusted. They need constant re-adjusting and are starting to fray where the go through the sole. The grip on the sole is excellent, but negated by the fact that the straps give way constantly and your foot slides around in the shoe. There is also not enough velcro to tighten the heels tight enough for your toes to be in the right place if you have narrow heels.

These are extremely comfortable with the addition of wearable arch supports. I understand they are "barefoot" sandals; however, for my own flat feet, I need the extra support I would absolutely buy again.

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.

I got these on a recommendation to use for biking/light hiking/other outdoor activity and quite frankly I hate them. I usually wear size 9.5-10 because I have super wide feet and struggle with edema, but I bought these in a 9 because they were said to run big. Even with all that, the front strap is very loose and there is no way tighten it, so these flop around with every step and I tripped a couple of times before I learned to walk like a stupid clown. The velcro on the ankle strap is only at the end, so when I have them tightened around my ankles, there is less than an inch of connection (again, I have large swollen feet so this shocked me), and the strap sticks out and catches on things with the exposed velcro.Possibly the worst shoes I have ever tried to cross a shallow stream in - the velcro immediately came apart in the water and because of how floppy they are in the front, they drag and suck up stones pebbles from the river - I tripped and went down on a knee and finally had to take them off and go barefoot. Then the velcro didn’t want to stay connected once wet. I do a lot of hiking/backpacking so I’m not some uncoordinated git. I would honestly rather just go in Rainbows.

I’ve had these sandals for about 3 months now and wear them almost every day. I love that I can feel the ground underneath me. I do best with these on trails or grass. Walking for a long time on concrete does get difficult with zero support from the shoe. They fit well and are the same size as all my other shoes. Easy to clean and looks nice.

This was my third pair and I am getting ready to order another in a different color. I wear these shoes everyday and my feet feel so much better since I found Xero shoes. They are so durable and I just throw them in the washing machine when they get dirty.
