Our wide selection is eligible for free shipping and free returns. Review: Yes... get them! - I fell in love with these immediately and was a bit bummed I didn’t purchase them sooner. I avoided them due to a heavy ad campaign on Facebook which makes me feel like the product is a gimmick. All the video testimonials and reviewes seemed a bit formulaic and repetitive. Now I know why! The Genesis shoes are absolutely amazing and are actually underpriced in my opinion. They deliver exactly as advertised. I wear a 13.5 wide shoe which puts me in a 14 normally. I measured my foot using their chart from the Xero Shoe website and discovered I was a 12W in the Genesis and I think that is why some people have a bad experience. I would have ordered a normal 13w or 14w and would have thought the shoe sucked. Make sure to get the proper size! I have a wide foot and my feet actually hang over the edge of the shoe a slight bit, as you can see in the picture, but I can’t tell. I can’t feel the edge at all. It feels like my entire foot is covered even when walking over rocks. This isn’t the only voodoo this shoe performs. The Genesis sandals stick to your foot in some weird gravity defying way. Other than people purchasing the wrong size I think a failure to properly adjust the straps is the other reason for some to have a bad experience with the Genesis. I initially cinched them up tight thinking that is the only way to keep them on. I experienced a lot of discomfort between my toes, which is odd because I wear flip flops 95 percent of the time. I loosened them back up to about the factory default and they were too loose. The heel would slid down and/or the toe would fold over and drag. So I tweaked with it for about 30 mins and they are absolutely perfect. They stay floating on my foot at all times and I can barely feel them between my toes. A couple of the concerns was how they would perform when wet and on slopes. I walked around in the pool and they performed great When walking at a slow pace as a water shoe. When I exited the water they drained very quickly and were not slippery. They did not retain water or feel soggy. On slopes whey actually performed fairly well. I found using your bare foot as gauge to be fairly accurate. If your bare foot would stay firm on the terrain then it will stay firm on the shoe. If your bare foot would slip in the terrain then your foot will slip in the sandal. Hopefully that makes sense. These are my new daily shoe for all activities! Review: Took a bit to adjust but now they're all you could expect - Once I figured out how to adjust the ropes/laces so my feet were not sliding too far forward, they became all I could expect from a shoe where the whole point is to offer literally no support. Been a fan of the no support variety of shoes for a while now. And I have to say that these do the best job by far of making me feel like I'm a kid again, that is walking barefoot on asphalt in the summer. Actually I've been walking my dog with shoes like this ever since the start of covid. Doing this has really strengthened my arches and calves. I'd say that my right foot, which was the flatter of the two and has always turned out unnaturally, has been strengthened and rehabilitated from walking in shoes like this. And considering that these somehow offer much less support than all the others, I am looking forward to strengthening my arches further as I continue to walk the dog in these weather permitting. One little tiny issue I had with these however, and I realize that this might only apply to me, but As a 225lb guy with big calves and hobbit feet, when I wear normal sandals and I look down I've got that big platform of a sole to stand on and thick straps and all that assures me that I'm still wearing a guys shoe. With these I look down past my hairy knees and I don't see that wide reassuring comfy sole that I'm used to. All I see are these ropes wrapping around my foot and this tiny nothing of a flat piece of rubber to stand on and I start thinking that it all looks suspiciously like something from catwoman's closet... I'm kidding of course, but only kind of. It's weird looking down and only seeing thin black ropes around my hairy hobbit feet and such a tiny sole. I'm over it now for sure and I just focus on all the good I'm doing for my arches now. But it might be something to consider, I don't know what look you're going for. At the end of the day though, form follows function. I like how these function. bit of advice on adjusting. figure out all the ways it can be adjusted first, don't just start tightening the heel. It's almost always better to make small adjustments while maintaining balance in the ropes by sliding some rope forward or back through the side loops. You'll figure it out, it's not too bad. Once I could walk down a set of stairs or down a decline without my toes sliding over the front, and with it hugging my heel at the same time, I knew it was good. ## Features - Size up if in between sizes (this shoe is whole sizes only).

Bill of Materials does not seem extensive. Wondering if something is special about them.** A: Great question! All of our shoes and sandals would use our patented FeelTrue Rubber for durability, grip, and flexibility, which is backed by our 5,000 Mile Sole Guarantee! Likewise, the Genesis would use our Amuri Hardware Kit for additional strapping adjustments, and a paracord lacing for holding onto the feet! If you were looking for a more cost-friendly option, the Genesis is in essence a premade and upgraded version of our Do-It-Yourself FeelTrue Rubber sandal kit available through our website. **Q: Is the material for earthing? as in does the material allows for electrons from the earth to your feet?** A: Not really , how ever it does allow your feet to move naturally and and allow your feet to work the way they are supposed to and since they are a zero drop in other words no padding so you do get some feed back from the ground but if you want the full effect of the negative ions and electrons , my recommendation would be to go barefoot if you're a avid barefooter as I am then you'll want the full effect of the negative ions and electrons. I hope I've answered your question. **Q: When do you expect to restock size 13 Mens? Thanks!** A: We currently do not have an exact date but they will most likely be restocked during the Spring of 2023. We'll send a notification when they are available again. **Q: How easy is it to get on and off? Can you do it one handed? Do the laces have some stretch?** A: Easier with two hands but it can be done with one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes... get them! *by T***J on August 15, 2020* I fell in love with these immediately and was a bit bummed I didn’t purchase them sooner.

Felt great but I was a little afraid of glass so I tried these for a bit of cut protection. They definitely require easing into use, they'll give blisters if you go to hard to quick, and the lace in between the toes can hurt at first, but after a while they become more comfortable. CONS: For my forefoot running style is that the backs slap loudly on the pavement when I run. Also little pebbles can get in easily when I just walk, but you can shake them out if they bother you. (There are also these little plastic adjustment tabs on the sides that flop around if you pull them snug, and hurt when you step on them so I just tuck them in between the double laces they hang next to and they stay flush against my foot and that fully solves the issue). Update: I've had this pair for one year, averaging maybe a few miles a week. The back of one just broke. The rubber piece on my heel ripped away from the black rope it was sewn to completely. I have fixed it in the short term by superglueing it back together, but not sure how long that will last. A little disappointed, was hoping these would last 2 or 3 years at least. ## Frequently Bought Together - Xero Shoes Men's Genesis Sandal - Lightweight, Minimalistic, Travel-Friendly - Nitecore NU25 UL, Black, Rechargeable Headlamp --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/152912170-xero-shoes-mens-genesis-barefoot-sandals](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/152912170-xero-shoes-mens-genesis-barefoot-sandals) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
