Why You’ll Love Z-Trek

I went on a two-week road trip and these were the only shoes I wore.
Andrew T.

The comfort of a sport sandal upper, the lightweight, barely-there feel of a packable travel sandal. This combo lets the Z-Trek do it all.

WHY WILL THE THE Z-TREK BE YOUR FAVORITE ALL-PURPOSE SANDAL?

COMFORT AND SECURITY.

The Z-Trek is an upgrade to the popular original, now with smooth, tubular nylon straps made from rPET recycled materials. The fully adjustable strap system lets you fine tune your fit, giving you the security you love in Xero Shoes.

The 6.0 mm FeelTrue® sole gives fantastic ground feel while still protecting you from the elements, while the dual direction chevron tread provides you confident grip. All that and they still only weigh 210 grams each for a men’s 42.

NATURAL FEELING. NATURAL STYLE.

The Z-trek is stylish and available in multiple colors. They’ll confidently take you from jogging at the beach, to your favorite water-sport, to a stroll through town, all while enjoying the benefits of natural freedom.

WE MAKE SANDALS SO COMFORTABLE, YOU'LL FORGET THEY'RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Z-Trek.

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.

All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, a low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and safely Feel the World® in total comfort.

Sizing Tips

The Z-Trek fits large and we recommend a snug fit, so…

Buy the Z-Trek in your usual US size, or go one size smaller.

Free Exchanges!

FREE EXCHANGES: Most people find our size recommendation gives them a proper fit, but just in case, we have a free exchange program for all EU orders.

Please note: The Z-Trek is a gendered sandal with different widths between Men’s and Women’s.

Z-Trek

How do I get the right size for my Z-Trek?

Use the templates that are linked on this page (next to where you select the size, and in the product description).

NOTE: Please measure your foot and/or use the templates. Sandal size is very often different than shoe size.

What if the Z-Trek is too long for me?

There are 54 different foot shapes. And no product will fit everyone perfectly.

If you’re not sure you have the right size, drop us an email with some photos (top, side, back) and we’ll give you our opinion.

If you have the right size but the Z-Trek shape doesn’t quite match your foot… CUT IT! That’s right, you can trim the Z-Trek with a good pair of kitchen scissors. To finish the edge cleanly, try some sandpaper. Don’t cut off too much, too soon, though. Take off just a bit, and then see how you did. Remember, you can’t UN-cut.

If you’re a man with a very narrow foot, you may be better in the “women’s” style. Conversely, women with very wide feet, or over a size 10, should check the sizing for he “men’s” products.

What can I do in the Z-Trek?

Pretty much anything you want. Take a walk on the beach, a hike in the woods, hang out with friend, stroll around the campsite, approach a climb, paddle a canoe, run a marathon…

I’m not sure that Z-Trek, or any sandal for that matter, is right for lateral motion sports, like tennis or basketball.

So, use your common sense and HAVE FUN!

Can I adjust the Z-Trek lacing across the toes?

You sure can. Just slide the webbing through the slots on the outside of the sole to get the tension you like.

Note: A lot of our customers report that they like the toe strap looser than they thought they would. Experiment and see what you like best.

What’s the difference between Men’s and Women’s Z-Trek?

The women’s Z-Trek is a bit narrower, and the webbing is 4mm thinner.

So if you have a narrow foot, whether you’re a man or woman, you may want to check the “women’s” sizing templates and see how those work for you. Similarly, if you have a wider foot, regardless of your gender, check out the “men’s” templates.

Excellent sandals

Excellent sandals – they’re not as big as stated in other reviews. I have Genesis in 37.5 and I took these in 37.5 as well, and they fit me fine. There’s some room, but I’m okay with that. I got both the men’s and the women’s version… there is a difference, and I’m not sure which one suits me better. Maybe the women’s is perfectly fine, but I also wear the men’s version.

Wonderfull shoes

Perfect fit - was between two sizes when checking the size print thingies, decided for the smaller size. Comfort - top. Easy to adjust. They also look less bulky than Teva sandals. Much better for hiking but also in town. Should have bought them much earlier.

Xero Z-Trek

Wow, love my new Z-Trek's! I'm running barefoot, sandals or barfoot shoes since early 90's. Till recently I have used a pair of similar sandals from other brand and been walking and running some thousand miles on them. They have been decent I thought, but I had a feeling that I would like a slightly more flexible sole. I have also had problems with small rocks flipping in between. With my new Z-Trek, the small rocks is hardly not flipping in. I had for years no clue that a more flexible sole had this effect. Also I feel my running steps a bit more barefoot correct with the Z-Treck now. I love that I can feel the nastier rocks, but they don't hurt at all even when I'm doing my faster runs. I prefer the more to the core barefoot feeling of running.
