So, what are the top three hiking or travel sandals?
I’m going to rely on a review that was done by ActiveJunky.com to tell you that. They took a collection of sandals out on a bunch of trips. They went to South America, they went to Central America, and they came back with three products that they reviewed.
I’m going to tell you a little secret: Most of the time when they review products, it’s products that they have an affiliate relationship with. That means that when they review a product and people click on a link from their review to purchase the product, they get a commission. That’s their business model.
Well, they listed three products, two of which they get commissions from and one they listed just because, they said, they like it so much that they wanted to include it in the review. It needed to be there, but they don’t get a commission on it.
I will not spoil any surprise by telling you that that product is the Z-Trail Sport Sandal from Xero Shoes.
They recommended two other products. One was the Chaco Z-Cloud which is, again, one of those big, thick products with prices between $95 and $105 typically.
Then there’s a Keen product, the Keen Zambezi, which again, a really thick and stiff and heavy sandal that retails from $92 to $100.
The Z-Trail from Xero Shoes, on the other hand, only $79.99, and it’s the only one that’s really lightweight; that gives you great protection, great flexibility, natural movement flexibility, really good comfort; lightweight enough to float. Rolls up, fits in your pack, in your pocket, and has our 5000-mile sole warranty.
