Men's Z-Trek Barefoot Hiking Sandals

Awesome sandals, extremely durable, walked over 120 miles on a recent backpacking trip and the soles still appear new. I’ve also since used them on the beach and in salt water, no issues yet! Fashion wise, they are pretty rad, look like Viking or spartan sandals.

These are a summer and spring go to, and I've honestly started reaching for them more than my house shoes because of the comfort. Even though they do dry pretty quickly I prefer not to wear them when it's too wet out. They do have quality grip and I've not had any slipping issues. They are easily adjusted and lightweight.

Super comfortable! Almost like wearing nothing but kinda better. Fit true to size for me. I wear a 10.5 normally, ordered the size 10 and I'm very happy with the fit. The sole is super thin but has the right balance between flexibility and rigidness. The straps securely connect your feet to the sandles without hot spots or pressure. I bought these thinking I'd probably return them but wow I'm impressed. Whoever engineered these things is a master. Weight for the pair is 15.06oz or 427g. They pack down to under an inch tall when stacked. Not the lightest camp shoes but way more functional. You could honestly hike in these and I'm sure some ppl do. The quality is there and when you factor in the warranty, they are worth the price.

I got these on sale and like them. The sole is a single solid piece and won't delaminate. It feels tough enough for around town use but these are far from something I would trust to hike in. The quality is decent but not at the full price. The stitching is a rather thin thread. The webbing used for the straps have stretched several inches in a few weeks and have to be wrapped up after tightening or they drag on the ground. The straps are soft and fairly comfortable as much as sandals can be and they dont do that terrible twisting thing the sandals so often do which is very nice. Unfortunately i fall in between sizes and they are a little big but overall a solid buy when on sale.

Lightweight and comfortable! They are strappy and take a little more time to put on, but overall great shoe

I bought these for a trip to Costa Rica. I have never worn xero shoes or sandals in the past but the minimal style and look appealed to me as well as the light packable form facor of the design. First of all they look good and held up well but the reason I am giving 3 stars is because of 2 things. One, they are diffucult to put on even after wearing them several times and watching multiple youtube videos. I had issues with the strap twisting and getting them on properly. The second reason is that they are just very slippery and borderline dangerous if you are hiking or walking on wet rocks or in the woods or in rivers. I had high hopes for these shoes and Im not saying I wont wear them again but if your looking for a hiking sandal I dont believe these are the best option. I will say that I walked for several miles on regular sidewalks, roads and even the beach and they were fine. They were comfortable for my wide feet for regular wear and daily use but again they are very slippery on wet rocks and such. I ordered a size 9 which is what I wear when not wearing socks and they were true to size. I hope this helps :)

Great product! I’m 5 months in and these suckers are holding up very well and have more life to give—without a doubt! Walked in for ~90% of the days since receiving them, and yes! initially da feets’ll hurt. Seen some reviews on their durability/viability… if you don’t have a healthy cadence, aren’t a conscious walker, are new to barefoot footwear, or aren’t willing to adapt, these could potentially be tough to appreciate. Be it, that you are consumptive, and not pragmatic, you’ll have an even tougher time, or potentially, negative remarks about your experience. Tips: Take the time after receiving them to adjust the straps to the ergonomics of your feet. If you expect to wear these daily, a half size up from true-fit would account for the growth your feet will inevitably experience. Enjoy!

For me, for the money, the value just isn't there. The quality of craftsmanship is fine, but the material choices aren't. If only they'd make the sole of a higher durometer (harder), or chosen another compound, I'd be keen to run in them more. I'm nearly 1/2 way through the soles in 3 months, and I'm careful to not drag my feet or kick. They're wearing out in the middle of the ball of my foot. If only they'd choose a more abrasion-resistant strap material, I'd be keen to hike in them more. After spending some time in them in moderate desert climes, they're fraying near the loops / connection points to the sole. They require somewhat frequent adjustment, too. Yes, they fit well, and they're the first barefoot-style shoe I've been able to walk pain-free in. However, the rate at which they're wearing is astonishing, and unacceptable for the price. A cursory look at the places these are stitched, and an estimate of the cost of materials alludes to an exceptionally high profit margin. I can't in good faith feed that sort of bottom line past this pair. There's no fairness in that approach. I wanted to give them a try, and I did, and now I can move on. Unfortunately, everyone else is charging similarly-insane prices for similarly-composed shoes.

Love these sandals. Perfect for those on a minimalist footwear journey. Comfortable and versatile.

Demasiado pesadas, y la suela demasiado plástico en el contacto con el pie por lo que puede crear rozaduras o o sudar en exceso.

4足目 気に入ってます もう少しソール長持ちして欲しいけど ほぼ毎日１万歩なんでしょうがないかな

Excelentes zapatos eran regalo para mi papá y las amo!

Gleich nachdem ich die Sandalen ausgepackt und angezogen hatte, war ich davon begeistert. Die Version mit der breiteren Zehenbox passt mit perfekt, auch die Größenangabe ist korrekt. Selbst nach längerem Laufen drückt bei mir nichts. Dank der dünnen, biegsamen Sohle hat man ein leichtes Barfußfeeling, ist viel angenehmer als in "normalen" Sandalen. Genau das habe ich als begeisterter Barfußläufer gesucht. Die Sandalen sind eine super Alternative, wenn Barfußlaufen wegen ungeeignetem Untergrund (Schotter) nicht geht oder wenn es nicht erwünscht ist, zum Beispiel im Büro. Aus diesem Grund trage die Sandalen nun auch vorzugsweise bei mir im Büro. Nach der Arbeit lassen sie sich dann wieder platzsparend im Rucksack verstauen, wenn ich auf dem Heimweg den puren Bodenkontakt genießen möchte :-)
