Xero Sandals - Z-Trail EV (Women)

Qty:

Meet the Z-Trail EV — the cushioned barefoot sandal for long days on trails and rocky ground.

If thin sandals leave your feet sore after a long walk on gravel or rocks, the Z-Trail EV is the answer. Its 10mm sole has a soft foam layer in the middle that evens out sharp bumps, while staying flexible enough to bend and move with your foot. And at just 121g each (women's 7), it's still incredibly light.

The straps are soft, quick-drying webbing made from recycled plastic bottles, with three points of adjustment and a heel cup to hold your foot in place. Grippy dual-chevron lugs give you traction on trails, and the sandal floats and dries fast for river crossings and water days. It looks smart enough for town too.

New to barefoot shoes?

The extra cushioning makes the Z-Trail EV a gentle way to start. Already converted? It's the sandal for long hikes, recovery days and anywhere your thinner sandals feel like too little.

FIT GUIDE ▼

The Z-Trail EV has a wide, foot-shaped sole and fully adjustable straps, so it suits a wide range of foot widths and volumes. Select the size that has an insole length 0.5–1.0cm longer than your actual foot length. If you're between sizes, size down for a more secure fit.

Please ensure you have measured your feet using our how to measure your feet guide.
