Xero Shoes Women's Genesis Sandal - Lightweight, Minimalistic, Travel-Friendly

Product Information

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. The right combination of barefoot-friendly ground feel plus protection, thanks to our exclusive 5mm FeelTrue® rubber outsoles They have actually become my daily wear shoes, and will be so for some time. In fact, I am flying with them in 2 days and they will be my primary shoe. In a month, I am flying again, and they may be the only footwear I take with me.

The newer version is a bit more evolved – with clips and padding around the Achilles, which might make people feel like they have something more substantial for their money, but to my mind subtracts from the minimalist appeal of the sandal. Each to their own. Ill be buying them again once they wear out until I find something Better. I've been looking for Years. The shoe is pre-laced. Users can slip into the Xero Genesis and tighten the laces with a tug and a pull to get the right fit. Final callXero Shoes ensures that customers will love their signature collection of footwear: “Genuine comfort comes from letting your feet do what’s natural – bending, flexing, moving, feeling. Xero Shoes let them do that.” All roads come with a set of obstacles. For Steven Sashen, it was his own personal injuries that prevented his daily sprint. With a determination to push forward, he took up his friend’s recommendation to attend a barefoot running class. The author for RunRepeat states that they offer a wide amount of toe space, as well: “The good news is, the running shoe offers so much more than forefoot space. Indeed, among other things, it also provides tons of comfort in its superbly lightweight confines.”

Watchthe video below to see how to use the template. For the Genesis, the toe post position is very important: 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. 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 There aren’t a lot of specifications and materials to the Xero Shoes Genesis as it has the simplest huarache design. Since fewer materials make up the shoe, it’s extremely lightweight. The men’s size 9 is only about 4.6oz each.

Design & Usage

All of our women’s shoes are wider than conventional women’s shoes. If you normally wear a larger size to get a wider fit in conventional shoes, you may not have to do that with Xero Shoes. Z-Trek -The Z-Trek sport sandal runs about 1/2 size large, but only comes in whole sizes. You can confirm your size with the printable templates below.* The Z-Trek and Z-Trail come in wider widths for men’s sizes and narrower widths for women’s sizes. However, many men with narrow feet find a great fit in the women’s sizes, and many women with wider feet find a great fit in the men’s sizes.

I tested these babies on all terrains, from muddy clay to soft sand, and chip & seal to nasty loose limestone "gravel." I could distinguish all the surfaces, and I was comfortable on every one. Even that awful sharp limestone. They provide a good heat barrier as well, allowing me to (foolishly try to) run in the afternoons down here in sunny San Antonio.The Genesis is easy to put on. Slide your foot in and pull heel strap on your heels. To remove them, pull the heel straps and pull out your feet. That’s all. An increasing number of people want to run barefoot or go minimal. If you have been running with heavily cushioned shoes, these barefoot sandals will demand from you a will to adjust your running form and sacrifice pace and comfort in the short term.
