We’ve heard from people who’ve done almost everything: Walking Hiking — you’ll see people on the AT, the PCT, the Camino Running (yes, even running 100+ mile trail ultra marathons) Yoga — minimalist sandals are like having a yoga mat right under your feet at all times Paddleboarding — sometimes on the board, sometimes when […]

Here are some comparisons between Xero Shoes and other sandal brands. Chaco Chacos are a popular brand of sport sandals… far from minimalist, though, they’re actually quite heavy, thick, and stiff. In fact 3 pairs of our Z-Trail sport sandal weigh less than one pair of a popular Chaco sandal. Teva Similar in many ways […]
In fact, yes. We have our best-selling sport sandal, the Z-Trail, available for kids.

There are 3 different types of minimalist sandals. Thong style sandals sandals with lacing that comes up between your 1st and 2nd toe. Sport style sandals using webbing that comes across the top of your foot and includes a heel strap. “Hybrid” sandals that use different design elements — e.g. toe loops — to secure […]
The simple answer: Yes. Surprisingly so, in fact. But probably not for the reason you think. First of all, comfort can be a little misleading. Think about this: a Tempur-Pedic bed feels really comfortable when you lie on it. But try jumping on it… not so good for jumping. Even standing will quickly get you […]
They’re a new spin on mankind’s oldest footwear, made with modern materials. They allow your feet and legs can work the way nature intended. Your feet can move as if you were barefoot, but with a layer of protection. They’re durable, stylish, affordable, but really light and low-profile so it feels like you’re not wearing […]
