Xero ShoesMen's Z-Trek Barefoot Hiking Sandals
A**.
Better than you could imagine.
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 didn't want to like these...
I needed new sandals that were light weight, mostly water proof, durable, and could pack flat for travel. I kept hearing about Xero but couldn't justify the price. But, after trying a few cheaper options, these won out.I also ordered the Aqua cloud and Z trail EV but settled for these. The EV's were too thick and wasn't a fan of the foam and I didn't like the string between my toes on the aqua clouds. These were a nice middle ground taking the things I like from both while removing some of the cons.The fit is accurate but might require adjusting the straps a bit. Out the box, they felt really loose and I was worried I'd have to return them but after some adjustments, they fit like a glove!The only con is the price. I wish these were cheaper - even by $10. I know they go on sales for major holidays but I wanted them asap for the summer.

Not the best hiking Sandal
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 :)

Pretty light
I was skeptical at first. For its cost, its definitely worth it. High quality. Comfortable. Very light. I think I am gonna buy more

With new foot strength comes foot pain.
These are great sandals, however I began wearing them after recovering from a big toe injury that made me not put pressure on it for almost a year. Transitioning into a no support experience has been taxing on my body that is used to a foam slipper / shoe experience. I explored massaging my legs to cope with some of the cramps and pains from the initial wearing and over time I did adjust and noticed that I could wear regular shoes way longer as my stance has become more toe friendly and arch dominant.After using these at home for prolonged periods, the flex and attachment to the foot excites more athletic movement at home that if I was wearing a slide or a stiffer foam sandal.Hard truth is that my other shoes with "modern / conventional" toe-boxes are looking less desirable by the day as my foot regains it's connection to it's strength. I was also on my way to a couple of bunions and this lifestyle change seems to curve away from that.I'm a size 11.5 mens and picked up a 12. The size difference hasn't bothered me.
