Mesa Trail II

Product Description

“The Mesa Trail II is even better than the original! It feels grippier on different trail surfaces, and is one of the lightest trail runners out there. – Alex L.

Tens of thousands of Xero Shoes customers loved the Mesa Trail’s combination of lightweight comfort and trail-gripping security.

The Mesa Trail II improves on that with more rugged, durable, and protective welded components on the upper, a breathable mesh, and a moisture-wicking lining that’s ready for wherever you take it.

FEEL CONNECTED TO YOUR WORLD WHEN YOU RUN IN THE MESA TRAIL II

LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORT

You’ll love hitting the trails with this “just right” balance of lightweight comfort and trail-gripping security. At just 221g for a men’s size 42, the Mesa Trail II is even lighter than the original.

The adjustable midfoot and instep straps hug this trail runner snugly to your foot. The thin, durable toe cap and tough sidewall welding work hard to give you added protection.

TRAIL-GRIPPING

Our patented FeelTrue™ sole features 3.5mm lugs for optimal traction. Enjoy how our 3.5mm TrailFoam™ layer evens out the bumps during your trail run.

I bought these for a multi-day mountianhike. I have xero's for everyday life, but had to get used to hiking on them for a little bit. I had a great experience though! No sore feet at all, no more blisters, no nails falling off, not even sweaty feet. They felt a bit unsecure compared to my Meindls, but because you actually feel where you walk, there are way less missteps. Less is actually more.

Not great

I've been running in barefoot shoes for a few years now, and this is the only pair where my feet really hurt after 10kms.

Awesome, but not perfect

I have been using it for well over a year. I also have HFS and other models. It's perfect for trails in the woods. Both walking and running. For streets I would go with HFS or some more formal one. Sole is very flexible and similar feeling to HFS, but a bit different due to the thread. I also hiked with it in Tatra mountains, including bits with chains. Overall I felt better after the day, than after walking with "proper" boots. Although, for coming down in some places I preferred to run down, instead of striking. The biggest problem though was grip. On slippery moist stones I did not have confidence, compared to for example Altras. If only this shoe got more grippy sole, it would be absolutely perfect for such hikes.

Overall good shoes

These shoes are my everyday informal shoes. I like them for walking my dog, shopping, everything I do where causal is ok. Also, while I was running in barefoot shoes, they where my favorite (due to injuries, I had to go back to normal running shoes for running). These shoes have seen a lot of miles, the treats are almost worn down and the upper mesh is now so broken that I have to buy a new pair. They could last me longer if I did not care about the holes in the upper mesh, but it is starting to look really bad. Here are a list of pros and cons. Pro Sits very well on my foot Very sturdy in mud and off road conditions Also good on asfalt and cement Flexy and comfortable, feels great Looks ok for everyday use (until holes in upper mesh appear) Cons The upper mesh started to wear out fairly quick and holes appeared. The insoles does not stay in place. I had to take them out. All in all a very good shoe but with above levels for improvements, so only four stars.
