Why you’ll love H-Trail

H-Trail – A Trail-Ready Huarache-Style Sandal

We’ve spent five years developing this sandal to give you the ultimate performance, comfort, and freedom of a huarache-style sandal. 

The H-Trail is your perfect companion for all your outdoor adventures, from warm-weather hikes to water sports.

Finally! I’ve been wanting a thong-style trail sandal from Xero Shoes! It’s so secure and comfortable that I could run miles in it.

The Perfect Fit For YOU

With four adjustment points across the instep and heel, you’ve never had comfort and security like this in a huarache-style sandal.

Adjust the tension and angle of the toe strap, the location of the instep strap, and the position of your foot in the sandal with the heel strap. Put this all together, and the H-Trail holds your foot wherever you take it without the pressure points typically associated with a thong-style sandal.

Trail-Ready Sole

The H-Trail features a FeelTrue® rubber outsole with the dual chevron lug pattern gives you trail-ready traction, the TrailFoam™ middle layer evens out the bumps, and the BareFoam™ footbed gives you the just-right comfort. 

Put it all together, and enjoy your favorite trails (even urban ones) while your feet bend, flex, and feel the terrain beneath you. 

You’ll barely feel the H-Trail on your feet with a men’s size 9 weighing 6.5 oz each. And if you ever take it off (you may forget you’re even wearing it), it takes up no room in your bag and is perfect for travel.

Goes Anywhere. Goes With Anything.

The H-Trail is ultra-capable for outdoor adventures yet stylish enough to accompany any look, so you can take it anywhere from the trail to the boardwalk and everywhere in between.

To clean your Xero Shoes, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting them in the washing machine or dryer.

FAQs

We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

After you purchase a gift certificate, you’ll be able to enter an email address for the recipient.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

Good, not wonderful

The sandals are good, good strap material and the strap system allows you to accomodate it to your own taste and feet, which is great. Regardless, the sole is not so great, feels rigid and the insole material is not so transpirable. I'm from Chile and the shipping took a little more than a month.

Was not good for me-the thong in between the toes rubbed me raw. Other than that issue they were what I was after-maybe I'm just not cut out for that type of sandal-very disappointing.

More than just hiking!

I’ve ran, walked, and wadded in shin-deep puddles in them. They held up pretty well and also go with a lot of outfits from casual to active. The practical man’s sandals, though I have noticed the straps do loosen up sometimes and have to readjust them a couple of times where I do actually rock them for a whole day. But for lazy days where I throw them in my car to go barefoot, they’re incredibly easy to slip on without even having to use the velcros to enter stores that demands shoes. That’s not to say the velcros are not needed as they are a must for toe socks to tabi both thin and especially thick! Despite the straps having a mind of their own, they’re almost perfect!

Tough sandal

I bought these sandals because I was looking for a pair of sandals with zero drop and heel strap to accommodate my left foot prosthesis. As an amputee, it can be difficult to find shoes that work well. These simple but tough sandals took a beating on my first use with them. The first day I put 14,000 steps on them, walking through the ruins of Tulum, the beach and some rugged terrain in a cenote. They experienced heat, sand and water and held up quite well. The tread on the bottom of the sandals provide great traction. The only area for improvement I would say is in the adjustment of the straps, but all in all they worked very well. They leave me feeling curious about other products from this company and how I might enjoy them

The fit..

I love a lot about these sandals but I can't get over how they fit on my feet. I size them to what feels comfortable at the beginning of the walk/hike and shortly into it the straps or whatever they're called have moved and they've become loose. I've tried multiple ways to fit these with the straps but they're often too uncomfortable if I get them to stay put on my feet. If I didn't have this issue I would love these but for now I have to figure out a way to make these work.

Xero Shoes

Hi there! Thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing your experience. We're thrilled to hear you love many aspects of the sandals! We're sorry to hear about the fit issues with the straps. To help with this, we recommend adjusting the straps before your walk or hike, and ensuring they're snug but not tight, as this can reduce movement. We’d also suggest experimenting with the placement of the straps to find the most comfortable fit. If you continue to have trouble, please reach out to our customer happiness team for assistance—they’re happy to help. Thanks again!
