The main difference between the Z-Trek and Z-Trail is the sole. The Z-Trek has a 5.5 mm solid rubber sole that is extremely flexible and allows the most ground-feel. The Z-Trail sole has a 10 mm sole made up of 3 materials: rubber and Trail Foam for the outsole, and a soft layer of Barefoam for the top sole. While still light and flexible, the Z-Trail sole does not offer as much ground-feel.

I'm an international ultramarathon athlete and I wear Xero Shoes for races. No blisters. No smelly feet. But I also use them as my everyday sandals (they look way cool!) and I recommend Xeros to everyone.Melissa Gosse

As a barefoot runner I’ve heard lots about huaraches but it wasn’t until Steven made me my first pair (I have two) that I understood how much fun they are to run distances in!Scott McLean

Thank you for making these amazing huaraches. I love how they feel. I forget they are there so much so I have worn them to bed a few times!Tasha Riggs
