Z-Trail EV - Women

Love these Sandals for Everyday SUMMER Wear

These are my shoes from about May to October. I use them daily as I love being barefoot and avoid socks until I cannot. Use them for walking, hiking, working, casual and church. My first pair lasted four years and this summer the velcro strap on one finally gave up. I just tied a knot and kept trekking. The first thin layer of the sole had worn through at the balls of my feet also, but I continue to wear them for farm and garden dirty work. And....thankfully I had bought another pair on sale last winter so had freshies in storage ready to bust out for happy feet! The only thing I don't love is the footbed gets slippery and slimy feeling when wet, so I don't prefer them for watersports.

Not for use in water / strap issues

I own 4 pairs of these & have worn them ever since the Z Trail came out. They are great for hiking. There are some annoying issues - the Velcro on the heal fails after a short time. I stopped using the Velcro as a way to put them on. The other issue is when they get wet the sole is very slippery and the straps stretch out so much that I can’t tighten them. The strap is crazy long It has to be folded over, even though I have very normal size feet. The black suede-like Y piece stretches out so much that they don’t fit well anymore. And, If I’ve ever left them outside, this black strap attracts some kind of animal that chews it. I rinse them with water after every use so it’s not salt.

Very lightweight, very comfortable and I love how they move with me..
