Xero H-Trail Black

A Trail-Ready, Huarache-Inspired Athletic Sandal

The Xero H-Trail is a trail-ready, huarache-inspired sports sandal that works well for a wide range of active outdoor pursuits or for casual wear. This thoughtfully designed minimalist sandal incorporates four adjustment points across the instep and heel, which provides maximum foot comfort and stability during your preferred athletic or leisure endeavors, whether it be hiking, beach and water activities, disc golf, camping, or traveling. The H-Trail features a FeelTrue rubber outsole with a chevron lug pattern that offers excellent traction on a variety of terrain and a BareFoam footbed that provides an excellent combination of comfort and ground feel.

Wide Footbed, Zero-Drop Sole, Lightweight Design

The Xero H-Trail is constructed with foot health and performance in mind and features several design elements that help ensure optimal posture, gait, and foot function. The wide footbed of this adventure-ready athletic sandal allows your forefoot and toes to splay as nature intended, and the flexible zero-drop sole positions your foot on a level plane and encourages it to become stronger on its own. Thanks to the H-Trail’s low overall stack height and lightweight nature (each H-Trail sandal weighs about 5.5 oz.), your foot is free to sense and feel the ground beneath you as you walk or run, leading to higher-quality footfalls and improved musculoskeletal mechanics.

Pairs Nicely With Other Beneficial Footgear

You can wear the versatile Xero H-Trail as is, or you can combine it with other helpful natural footgear to improve foot health and develop strong, resilient feet. Consider pairing your H-Trail sandals with Correct Toes toe spacers and Injinji toe socks to restore optimal toe alignment, or use this accommodating sandal in combination with Pedag metatarsal pads to address or prevent ball-of-foot and crooked toe issues. To boost foot and body awareness, you might also consider using the Xero H-Trail in conjunction with Naboso textured toe socks, which engage and strengthen your feet by stimulating your nervous system.

Note: If you are new to using Xero footwear, we recommend that you start in slowly, gradually building up your wear-time and giving your body the chance to adapt to the thinner soles and the increased workload on your feet.

To get the most out of your Xero H-Trail sandals, the manufacturer recommends that you order your normal US shoe size. For example, if you normally wear a women's US size 8 shoe, consider ordering an 8 in the Xero H-Trail.

If you're on the fence about what size to order, consider ordering both sizes and then simply return the size that doesn't fit as well for a refund. If you have concerns about sizing, feel free to contact us or Xero customer service.

Sizing Tip: Correct Toes toe spacers will often add width and length to the foot. If you’re planning to wear Correct Toes with your footwear, we recommend sizing up, especially if you are on the border between sizes.
