Lightweight and functional barefoot mountain sandal
The Z-Trek EV from Xero Shoes is a minimalist sandal designed for walking, training, or exploring with true freedom. Lightweight, durable, and with a zero-drop structure, it's a consistent alternative to conventional summer footwear.
Just enough protection. Natural movement. Total versatility.
Light protection with ground feel
It incorporates an 11 mm FeelLite™ sole with a TrailFoam™ midsole that absorbs impacts without eliminating the connection to the ground. The new traction pattern with a chevron-shaped relief improves grip on trails, rocks, or urban surfaces.
Enough protection for hours of walking.
Enough flexibility to maintain foot functionality.
Approximate weight: 153 g (size 42).

Real durability
Like all Xero Shoes, the Z-Trek EV includes a 5,000-mile sole warranty, much superior to the usual durability of sports sandals.
