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

Product Information

If the shape of the platform is the issue, the brand recommends trimming down the rubber using scissors to shape it exactly the same as the wearer’s foot. So far, I cumulated 33km running with the Genesis huaraches and I can say that I totally second what Randy says in his YouTube video. 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.” Genesis– The Genesis huarache sandals fit true to size.

Simplicity in motion. A ready-to-wear barefoot-inspired sandal for travel, walking, hiking, yoga, working out, paddling, even running ultra marathons. Mesa Trail – The Mesa Trail runs small. We recommend choosing 1/2 size larger than your usual size.* I need these straps for tempo and intervals too. In effect, I use extra velcro straps all the time with my pair of Genesis.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. Those who opt for a pair of Genesis Sandals can rest assured that their sole will last for miles. The FeelTrue Rubber is intended to last. It is covered by the brand’s warranty, however, it still has its limitations in terms of grip and overall protection. Compared to dirt roads or pavement, the grip wasn’t as effective especially on terrain that required runners or users to shuffle from one surface to another based on some Genesis Xero Shoes observations. The responsiveness of the Xero Genesis Sandals from the ground is excellent but it was not ideal to be used on jagged topography, said consumers. Also if your here looking for minimal bare foot shoes to wear into venues just get em and try them out! There worth it.

Watchthe video below to see how to use the template. For the Genesis, the toe post position is very important: The Z-Trek is our only sandal that fits larger than expected for many customers. For example, many customers who are a size 10 in the Genesis and Z-Trail are a size 9 in the Z-Trek. 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.

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. Prio – Women– On July 31st, 2019 we updated the sizing for the Women’s Prio, it now fits true to size.* 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. 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. On paved roads, the sandals allow you to do your long slow runs once you get used to them. I have been doing 30+ km runs in them regularly. They are very light, have zero heel to toe drop, and are flexible.

I have had absolutely no problem moving my feet in these, and they do not impede my foot flex in the slightest. 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 If you run light on your feet, the soles will last long. In any case, the soles have 5000 miles warranty from Xero! The company will give 60% off in case your sandal soles are quite worn out. So now, the Genesis huaraches are my default running sandals and I am not thinking about buying another pair of running sandals for running on asphalt or easy trails.Prio – Men– On August 9th, 2019 we updated the sizing for the Men’s Prio, it now fits true to size.* 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. Z-Trail EV– The Z-Trail EV sport sandal fits true to size. You can confirm your size with the printable templates below.*

They are zero drop and have zero cushioning. You learn to use your God-given cushioned feet. So you won’t be able to pound the pavement unless you are willing to say ‘ouch’ every step. 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!) To get the perfect fit, loosen the heel strap, slide your foot in, position your foot and now, adjust the laces, being very careful and not using force, you do this by grabbing the lace and pulling in a sideways direction from the hole. Don't pull upwards as you can damage the sandal. Adjust the side of lace that has a knot (left for the right shoe and right for the left shoe) so that the knot is sort of in the centre of your foot, after that's done, adjust the lace that goes to the toepost so that it's snuggly tight. Then finally, adjust the heel strap while the cup is in the right position on the heel. Now you're done and have the perfect fit. 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.Note: Be sure to print the templates at Actual Size (100% Scale) and verify with a ruler after printing.
