Z-Trail – Men (Clearance)

27.00

 
Clear

Product Description

The Z-Trail gives you an unparalleled combination of:

  • Protection
  • Comfort
  • Light Weight
  • Flexibility
  • Durability
  • Versatility
  • and Affordability

What can you do in your Z-Trail sandals? 

  • At the end of a day of hiking, pull off your heavy, stiff, boots and slip into the freedom, comfort, and flexibility of the Z-Trail… they’re so light you’ll barely notice them on your feet (and will barely tell they were in your bag!).
  • Enjoy a run, on trails or roads, with the right amount of protection, and lightweight flexibility that’ll make you feel like you’re practically barefoot.
  • Yoga class? Well, the grippy soles make the Z-Trail like having a yoga mat on your feet all the time. Do your own class anywhere you are!
  • Head downstream… whether you’re in a canoe, a kayak, or a raft, the Z-Trail holds comfortably on your feet, and they float!
  • Take a walk — anywhere you like, from a mountain trail to an urban jungle. The comfort of the Z-Trail will surprise you.

What makes the Z-Trail special is the 3-layer FeelLite™ sole.

Z-Trail FeelLite sport sandal sole

  • The bottom has our FeelTrue® rubber for great grip and abrasion resistance.
  • The middle layer of TrailFoam™ provides an incredible amount of force absorption and protection.
  • Then, the top BareFoam™ layer adds a perfect amount of comfort.
  • And the FeelLite™ sole still maintains enough flexibility to allow for natural movement and ground-feel.

What’s the difference between the Z-Trek and Z-Trail?

Trek-versus-Trail-Roll

That’s the Z-Trek on the left, and the Z-Trail on the right. You can see that the Z-Trail is crazy flexible, but not quite as much as the Z-Trek.

I like to think that the Z-Trail is about protection and comfort first, and the Z-Trek is about connection first.

If I’ve been wearing my Z-Trails around for a while, enjoying the comfort, when I then put on the Z-Trek, I think, “Oh, right, I can FEEL things again!” So I go back and forth between them, depending on how much I want to feel.

Let’s talk about weight! This is maybe the best part.

The Z-Trail is about 20% lighter than the Z-Trek. But that’s nothing. Let’s compare the Z-Trail to a traditional sport sandal:

The reviews for the Z-Trail have been AMAZING. Pretty much everyone says that they’re the best sandal they’ve worn.

 More reasons you’ll love your Z-Trail sandals:

  • Super-comfortable tubular webbing — no hard edges.
  • Adjustable Z-pattern — get the right tension across your foot, over your foot, and behind your heel.
  • Three color combinations.
  • 10mm (~3/8″) FeelLite™ outsole protects you from unpleasant surfaces while still providing great ground-feel.
  • Elegant contour surrounds your foot but doesn’t add unnecessary support.
  • Super lightweight — a Men’s size 9 sandal averages 5.4 ounces each.
  • “Zero-Drop” — your heel isn’t elevated; your feet are anatomically correct.
  • Rust-proof nylon hardware.
  • 100% Vegan-friendly.
  • Ready to wear — the lacing is already done for you. Just slide in your foot and go.
  • Heel cup — keeps your heel in place, helps keep out debris.
  • 5,000-mile sole warranty! Wear out your Z-Trail soles in under 5,000 miles and we’ll replace them for a nominal cost (details here).

excellent. But

They are really great and feel natural. Overall, they're top-notch. There's only one issue, and it might be specific to the model. After wearing them for a day, my feet turn black from the black rubber material

Practical shoes not just a fashion statement

My first barefoot shoes. 1) Printed the outline of size no. 47, checked by standing on it, and big surprise, they fit perfectly. 2) they offer a surprising amount of protection. You can firmly tighten them around the ankle and your feet do not slip out of the shoes while going downhill. A small rubber extrusion mount 5 mm thick protects your pinky finger from impacts or cuts (when you slide sideways off of a rough stone step on a trail) while preventing your feet from sliding outside the shoe sole. There is a raised edge around the heel of the shoe, but the height is only 12 mm. While it helps sufficiently while walking uphill, it could be comfortably raised to approx. 30 mm for bigger shoe sizes to protect your heel from coarse gravel or rocks. There are no thread knots on the inside of the straps and the metal connecting parts are not digging into your skin even after 4 hours of roof tiling. The plastic buckle is thicker and can be obtrusive when kneeling while working but you can easily sand down its edges and they ain't no Strauss safety shoes, after all. The pattern on the sole is dense enough so you don't uncomfortably feel the individual arrows (unlike Z-Trail EV) and it protects you from small to medium gravel, broken glass, and thinner or heavily rusted nails. There is no fast comfortable way how to take off the shoes - fast release plastic buckle on the front ankle strap would make them perfect. Overall it is easy 5/5, especially for the price of eur 45 (+6 for shipment).

I hate sandals!

That is true, every pair of sandals I've ever bought I hated instantly. So I have to were trekking boots even in hot weather. But these one... I want to wear them all the time. I want to wear them in the mountains, in the city, during the summer, spring, autumn, ...hmm winter? 🙂

Love these shoes

I searched sandals that are more elegant than the sport/ tracking ones for a casual outfit. Haven't found anywhere else these type of sandals. I would love to buy a new model too, if there gone be with a thicker bottom for longer walks. I recommend for everybody who would like to wear a bit more ellegant sandals than the tracking ones.
