It feels like you don’t have a shoe on ! Haven't had them long, but so far they're great. They look good and look well made and robust. One little thing is most people will probably need to tighten the straps around the top of the foot as they are too loose, Here's a good video explain it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMJLDRuv3LU) - make sure to take them off before adjusting them to avoid damage. So far so good. I would buy another pair without hesitation if these last as long as they're supposed to (which I assume they will!) I received a pair of Xero Shoes Genesis when I returned by Amuri Venture sandals for outsole warranty replacement. Xero Shoes had replaced Venture by Genesis in their product program. The Genesis look utterly simple This will include some intel on product variation, cost, and other customer perks. Who will cross the finish line first? There’s only one way to find out, and that, dear reader, is based entirely on your choice.

My huaraches have taken everything I have thrown at them and done just fine. Granted, I'm no performance racehorse myself, but I have every confidence that my huaraches are not going to fail me. No untying, no excessive slipping, no extra fluff. Now, would I go rattlesnake wrangling and expect them to provide a +5 to my AC? (Nerdspeak there, shoutout to my fellow D&D players) No, I would not. Nor would I personally play basketball in them. Or in anything, because I don't play basketball. But you get the idea.They are very easy to clean. There is no need to worry about materials getting wet and drying off.And NO, running in the winter isn’t too much of a problem once you are warmed up. Assuming you’re not trudging through snow for hours on end, it’s basically the same as trainers really, except that your feet probably move more and so get better blood flow. Z-Trail EV– The Z-Trail EV sport sandal fits true to size. You can confirm your size with the printable templates below.*

The sandals themselves hold up well even in rains. They don’t slip. However, if you haven’t tightened the laces well enough your foot may slip in them. If you are prone to blisters you need some protection like applying petroleum jelly at friction spots (like toe posts and ankle hole area) or on tape areas on your soles like the big toes. They have slightly elastic laces now, making the fit absolutely easy to adjust and really snug and comfortable. They've also added a grippy forefoot texture on the sole to provide extra traction. These sandals are absolutely amazing. My foot measures 270mm and the size 10 Mens fits like a glove. When you wear them for the first time they do feel strange. When you walk, your feet make a slapping sound. A reminder that you are walking! When you run and if your form is good the sandal makes themselves mostly inaudible. With the original design, there are no bonded materials, so everything could conceivably be recycled with ease, and they are suitable for vegans. They are infinitely adjustable, so you can spend a lot of time fiddling around with them to get them just right – although plenty of people love doing this.

The Xero Shoes Genesis Sandals is as minimalist as it goes. All you have are the nylon laces and the sole. Because of its huarache design, it works great as footwear for summer outfits – shorts, dresses, and so on. This is a phenomenally comfortable, rugged, and lightweight shoe. It exudes strength while also allowing your feet to move freely…Great for hiking, biking, and camping. I don’t want to take them off,” one customer wrote for the TerraFlex Trail Running and Hiking Shoe. You get good ground feel – a must for anything that promotes barefoot experience minus the risks of cuts or blisters. Small stones and sharp protrusions from road or rubble do make their presence felt. People like different types of fit — some like their toes near the end, others like 0.5 cm – 1.5 cm of extra space. The elastic laces are not adequate in these conditions. I had to improvise and add velcro straps around the lace near ankles and going over the top of the foot to ensure that foot stays firmly in place.

Fantastic for running, walking, and general ambulatory function. Bad for tap dance, moon walking, and sliding about on a dance floor. Pretty good for everything that doesn't require a ton of lateral motion. Oh, and good for golf. You don’t have the same traction you do in shoes. On the face of it this sounds like a negative, certainly if you are racing over gnarly ground, but the fact the your feet will move around in the sandals if you are not properly balanced and in control means you can't get away with being too aggressive, which is probably a good thing long term.The Xero Genesis Shoes were inspired by the brand’s first-ever product – their DIY sandal kit. It is made up of nylon Achilles straps with silicone grip and a contoured 5mm FeelTrue rubber outsole. It doesn’t get much simpler than that footwear-wise. Materials Super soft toe loop — since the huaraches-inspired lacing goes around your entire foot, you don’t feel the toe loop the way you do in a flip-flop or other thong sandal However, if you run up and down steep ascents and descents like I run on a winding road with 900 meters ascent in just 8.5 km (and same descent) to a mountain fort, you won’t be very sure that your foot won’t slip inside your sandals. This gets worse in rains! Prio – Men– On August 9th, 2019 we updated the sizing for the Men’s Prio, it now fits true to size.* I have fairly wide feet for their length and have had issues with many shoe brands in the past. My foot pad fits on these, and I can spread my toes to full wingspan.
