Product Description

Get the foot-stimulating benefits of Naboso® technology with the summertime freedom of our best-selling Z-Trail sandal

Dr. Emily Splichal created Naboso® (meaning “barefoot” in Czech) technology. It’s the first-ever small nerve proprioceptive material commercially available and designed for the purpose of improving posture and enhancing movement.

We’ve been proudly offering the Naboso® insoles for people who want that beneficial foot stimulation in their shoes.

The Naboso Trail sandal still has a 3-layer sole, like the Z-Trail. We’ve used the Naboso® Performance material as the footbed:

  • The bottom has our FeelTrue® rubber for great grip and abrasion resistance
  • The middle layer of TrailFoam™ provides an incredible amount of force absorption and protection
  • Then, the top Naboso® Performance Technology layer gives you stimulation
  • And the sole still maintains enough flexibility to allow for natural movement and ground-feel

Check out these reviews (and then click the REVIEWS tab, above to see more!):

More reasons you’ll love your Naboso Trail sandals:

  • Super-comfortable tubular webbing — no hard edges.
  • Adjustable Z-pattern — get the right tension across your foot, over your foot, and behind your heel.
  • Super lightweight — a Men’s size 42 sandal averages 153 grams each.
  • “Zero-Drop” — your heel isn’t elevated; your feet are anatomically correct.
  • Rust-proof nylon hardware.
  • 100% Vegan-friendly.
  • Ready to wear — the lacing is already done for you. Just slide in your foot and go.
  • 5,000-mile sole warranty! Wear out your Z-Trail soles in under 5,000 miles and we’ll replace them for a nominal cost (details here).

Caring for your Xero Shoes

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

Naboso Trail

It will depend on you.

Some people will put them on and wear them all day, right away.

Others will find that too stimulating.

Listen to your body and “be your own coach.”

Wear them for 20-30 minutes and see how you feel. If that felt good, add some more time.

If it ever feels like you “did too much,” then rest and do a bit less the next few times you wear them before you increase the amount of time you have them on (sadly, we never know we “did too much” until we, well, do too much 😉 ).

For some people, the Naboso Trail can be too stimulating at first.

No problem. Get a THIN pair of socks and wear those with your Naboso Trail at first.

When you feel ready, try 5-10 minutes without socks.

Over time, by listening to your body, you can build up the amount of time and the activities you do in your Naboso Trail sandals.

In short, yes.

Though it may take you some time to work up to wearing your Naboso Trail sandals all day.

No need to push yourself. Do what’s comfortable (and, over time, what’s comfortable will “expand”).

Skeptical of the anchor points

They're a bit hard to put on, you cannot really just slip them on and go. As other reviews mention they're hard on the feet, and likely to cause blisters at first. A couple long walks in them, and I think I have adjusted. I really liked the z track sandals, but an anchor point failed. It had some stress fatigue but the rest of the sole was really just getting broke in. These have a soft rubber anchor, which I don't think will last as long. Also the straps are positioned under the insole so there are bumps. I think that could cause problems on longer runs. Otherwise they are great minimalist sandals.

Feedback on naboso trail

This is my personal experience connected to my own desire therefore different from the one of others: To me the sole is too rigid and the grip of it not very good, the front lacet are closing on the toes making it not foodshaped to me. Still the team was very gentle in understanding my needs and offering a refund

Great Sandals

These are the best that could ever happen to my feet! Thank you very much! The ring is changing position on one shoe but it´s just a little uncomfortable. The nice feeling wearing the shoes is definetly worth it.

Price performance is not right

Fast delivery, the size fits halfway with a tendency towards too small. But the straps twist very quickly when put on wildly the metal flap also shifts and that then presses. I can't say anything about durability yet, but price performance doesn't fit here.
