The Bedrock Cairn 3D PRO II Adventure is a unique pair of sandals that fall somewhere in between a minimalist and a full adventure sandal, offering benefits of both. With nearly flat soles, the 3d PRO II version of these sandals has just enough added bumps, ridges, and crests in all the right spots to keep our feet firmly on the soles, regardless of incline or moisture levels. Minimalist straps are easily adjustable and more secure than they may appear. Though they look simple, these sandals offer top notch traction and well above average stability.
Though their lack of straps penning in the outsides of your feet allows the Cairn 3D PRO II to accommodate much wider feet than many sandals, we still struggled with the sizing of these unisex shoes. Our lead tester typically wears a 7.5 in women's shoes and ultimately found that she needed a size 9 to be able to keep her whole foot on the Cairn 3D. The strap attached between the toes is far enough forward that even average length toes hung off the end of smaller sandals. And while finding the right size and adjusting for the most secure fit makes these Bedrocks very rugged, they can't quite match the stability and security of cross-toe and cross-foot straps found in many other models. Still, if you're after a minimally designed sandal that still provides support and protection, the Cairn 3D PRO II is a superb choice.

I bought these while visiting my daughter (who wears them) and I haven’t taken them off in 2 weeks! I’m 55 so comfort on my feet is a must and other than my good tennis shoes these shoes NEVER hurt when I’m wearing them or after a full day of walking around in them. I have wide feet and they are perfect! No breaking in needed! Definitely will purchase more! Highly recommend

Best Sandals EVER!

They're at least as secure as anything else I've worn, while still more comfortable and highly functional. 

All good on this skinny giant!

I live and work in Papua New Guinea, and not only is the climate horrible for adhesives, but also the terrain can be very challenging. I have been wearing these daily for over 6 months straight. I have worn these in jungle swamps, on muddy trails, along felled-tree bridges, rocky water crossings, steep hill climbs, and for lots of walking in town. They are holding up very well and generally provide lots of grip

"Less is more" seems like a good philosophy for sandals, right? Sometimes you don't need over-the-top arch support or heavy-duty traction to reach your objective comfortably. Cue the Xero Z-Trail EV, a lightweight minimalist model that is so thin you could fold it into your back pocket. While barefoot-inspired footwear may not be your cup of tea, the Z-Trail EV is an undeniably great option if you're looking to save pack space or weight on your next big outing. Ounce for ounce, the 10mm sole and ultra-thin webbing are remarkably comfortable and capable on the trail, though not as bomber as a burlier hunk of rubber. 
Xero, a leading company for zero-drop footwear, promotes the philosophy that feet are meant to move naturally and "Feel The World." While it may not be for everyone, we believe that the Z-Trail EV caters to this particular niche very well. With nylon made from recycled water bottles according to Xero, the Z-Trail EV uses search and vegan-friendly materials. While not as traditionally comfortable as a thicker and more supportive sandal, the Z-Trail EV performs well across the board with its secure strap system and comfortable footbed.

Switchback Travel

Inspired by the barefoot running movement, Xero Shoes offers a healthy selection of minimally padded sneakers, boots, and sandals for those that like the low-profile feel. One of the biggest benefits is weight: At a scant 10.8 ounces per pair, their Z-Trail EV is the lightest option on our list—great for rolling up or strapping to the outside of a pack and carrying in on backpacking adventures (there’s nothing worse than having to keep your sweaty hiking shoes on after a long day of walking). All the materials are supple and flexible, giving the sandals a barely-there feel, and the zero-drop shape means that your heel and forefoot are positioned the same distance from the ground to allow for a natural gait. And a final bonus: The sandals float, which makes them viable for wearing while kayaking or paddleboarding too.

If it isn’t obvious from the specs, the Xero Z-Trail EV is decidedly less performance-oriented than designs like the Bedrock Cairn Adventure and Chaco Z/Cloud above (it even falls short of the Teva for light hiking). The streamlined build that makes these sandals so flexible and light translates to major compromises in areas like durability, support, and stability. They're noticeably looser and sloppier-feeling than the picks above, and after just a few months of relatively light use, our pair is already showing considerable wear along the thin midsole, and the lugs have started to deteriorate. In addition, the narrower straps don’t lock your foot down as well as Chaco’s thick Z-strap layout, and the TrailFoam midsole is basic and lacking in structure and all-day comfort. To be sure, the Z-Trail EV has its place for dedicated minimalists and barefoot enthusiasts, but the lack of support and longevity are undeniable drawbacks. For a slightly more robust and hiking-focused design from Xero, check out their Z-Trek II. See the Men's Xero Z-Trail EV  See the Women's Xero Z-Trail EV

 You have to have these pups strapped on right and tight or else your foot will slip in ways you really don't want to be slipping. They do dry in minutes, however.  But even with those issues and my cleanliness neurosis going on in my head.

.and the strap is a bit stubborn in allowing the strap to slide easily to and fro for a good fit - it takes some work. Furthermore, you pretty much have to be touching the bottom of your sandal to put on and adjust. Maybe it's just me, but that is something I really wish I didn't have to do, because then I have to immediately wash my hands afterward - which often has me walking through my "no shoes indoors" house wearing my sandals, which defeats the purpose of the no shoes allowed part

 You can't put them on standing up at all, you have to be sitting down, with your legs crossed over, and the strap fastener is on the OUTSTIDE of the foot, resulting in an awkward angle - especially for a big person...and the strap is a bit stubborn in allowing the strap to slide easily to and fro for a good fit - it takes some work

Fantastic Sandal - but will take some adjustment.

 This black rubber on the bottom at the contact points, is the most heavy. It has got the the least amount of air mixed into the rubber and, on top there's sort of a thin nice, relatively cushy layer, uh. That feels really good on the bottoms of the feet um. So when you land on to say a sharp piece of crushed gravel it, it just makes that much more tolerable and the mid the middle rubber

 Hopefully you can see um how much less tread there is up there, and maybe you can see that they are deeper as well. This z trail is several years old, uh from when they originally came out. Now the lacing system has been uh the material on the new model. Is it it's just been upgraded, and it also seems to me, like the side

 Now the lacing system has been uh the material on the new model. Is it it's just been upgraded, and it also seems to me, like the side. Posts are a little bit thicker on the newer model, but when this model came out, i thought it was a real game changer for xero shoes, because that was when they started melding. I'M not sure if that's the right word but melding together, various weights of rubber

 So the ev, the the new z trail ev, is actually my fourth pair of these, and this pair was purchased. I believe last fall specifically to keep a fresh pair around for running hundred mile races, uh, so the second and third hundred mile races that i've ran in zero z trails were in this exact. You know this from this set and while i have it here, it's a good opportunity to show you the difference in the tread and design with the previous model in brown. Here you can see less of a more rugged black tread and up front at the ball of the foot

Xero Z-Trail EV Minimalist Sport Sandal, Revised Outsole Design.

I usually wear a 13-- should I have gotten a 12? It rubbed by my toe and gave me a blister on my first walk with them! They are really light weight! Comfortable as zero drop goes! Just not sure if these are "normal" kinks to be worked out. Sometimes new flip flops take a couple of wearings to adjust to our feet. Hoping that's what will happen with these!

Maybe with time!

Raised edges help keep your heels in place and provide additional protectionSizingThe Z-Trail runs true to size, however, the sizing doesn’t match regular shoe sizes and you need to measure your feet to figure out the size you need. If you plan to wear these sandals with socks, you probably want to measure with the socks you intend to wear. You can also email [email protected] and they’ll send you templates that you can print out to see which size fits your foot best.GuaranteeXero guarantees the soles of these sandals for 5000 miles, although it pays to read the fine print

Xero Shoes Z-Trail Sandals Review

Hey guys, dan with voyageus here back for another review today, i'm going to be reviewing the xero shoes. Z trail sandal, all right, so these sandals are considered a lightweight minimalist sport sandal. They feature a zero drop design. So essentially, what that means is the shoe itself

Xero Shoes Z Trail Review

I've had two previous generations, currently on my third one and really happy with the design improvements each time. Great work changing from simple rubber (too grippy) to an actual buckle on the adjustment section of the long strap.

My one go to sandals.

Only negative was cost of buying in Europe, hopefully the European hub is coming soon as I wouldn’t purchase from USA again.

Love love love my  Z-Trail EV ❤️
