Doc Martens Blaire Hydro Leather Strap Sandals vs Xero Z-Trail EV

Wear them for short amounts of time and then slowly build up until you can wear them longer and longer. Also, a good tip is to always carry band-aids ...

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

I don’t know how this works for you smaller sizes lol but I guess dr martens sandals just can’t be a thing for me. I have the same issue with the Voss sandal

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.

I own several Dr. Martens boots and this was my first sandal purchase. The top strap needs to be lower to cover my pinky toe. Then the fit would have been perfect!!! So, when I made this purchase I was expecting the sandal to have a better strap design

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.

Overall comfort is Superb. I love, love the feeling of the insole. You can walk all day on these babies since they’re lightweight. But one flaw are the front 3 straps which are very much a one size fits all

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!

Why are these so large Dr. Marten?! I should have ordered a 7 maybe.. which is unheard of for me! *** Adding a note to this review to advise definitely ordering a size down

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,...

I can feel that the soles have some arch support and are very comfortable. Haven’t tried to break them in yet but they are the comfortable for the first few walks. 4 stars based on the price point. They seem to be good quality but still steep for what you get

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