Product Description

The simplest, most versatile sandal your feet will ever love.

We’ll let Xero Shoes expert, Randy Kreill, tell you about the Genesis:

It’s called the Genesis because it was inspired by our first product, our DIY sandal kit, and one of mankind’s first footwear designs. Then, of course, we updated it with the experience we’ve had and feedback we’ve gotten, from making barefoot-friendly sandals since 2009.

Start enjoying your Xero Shoes Genesis just moments after they arrive in your mailbox.

Why you’ll love the Genesis:

The right combination of barefoot-friendly ground feel plus protection, thanks to our exclusive 5mm FeelTrue® rubber outsoles
Elegant contour to hold your foot, but without unnecessary support
Lightweight – Women’s 37.5 is only 125 grams each
Pre-laced — just slide in your foot and go
Patent-pending tension adjustment system — find the perfect fit in seconds, and then you can slide your Xeros on and off in a flash
Super soft toe loop — since the huaraches-inspired lacing goes around your entire foot, you don’t feel the toe loop the way you do in many flip-flops or other thong sandals
Nylon Achilles strap with Silicone grip — holds on securely and comfortably
Elevated ankle holes — the lace never touches the ground, and so it won’t abrade
Trim to fit — with just kitchen scissors, you can trim the Genesis to match your foot shape
Vegan-friendly
5,000-mile sole warranty! (Details here).

We recommend ordering your usual size.

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.

What’s the difference between the Genesis, Cloud, and your DIY kits?

The Genesis and Cloud are ready-to-wear barefoot-inspired sandals. For our kits you, well, have to make them 😉

Both products use our exclusive FeelTrue® rubber, the only outsole product made specifically for barefoot style sandals.

The Genesis’s sole is 5mm thick, compared to either 4mm or 6mm on the DIY kits. The Cloud has 3mm of Barefoam™ in the forefoot for a bit of extra comfort and lighter weight (the Clouds float!)

The Cloud and Genesis have a toe loop, so there’s no knot under your foot.

The Cloud and Genesis have a simpler lacing system with a patented adjustment technology that lets you get a perfect fit in just seconds.

The ankle holes on the Cloud and Genesis are raised off the ground so the lace can’t abrade.

Why don’t you use leather or hemp laces?

You can use almost anything for lacing huaraches.

In my testing, though, I found some issues with hemp and leather that I didn’t like:

Both leather and hemp tended to stretch, especially when moist
Both leather and hemp tighten and stiffen when they dry
Both leather and hemp wear out faster than our polyester laces
Leather is much more expensive
Most leather laces are rectangular, and the edges can dig into your skin
Leather, isn’t vegan (for those who care about that)
Leather and hemp don’t give you as many fun color choices

The 100% polyester cord we use is strong, light, and doesn’t stretch or tighten, especially when wet.

Also, I prefer the “slip-on” method of tying which works best with a round lace, rather than a flat one (like leather).

Needless to say, you can replace the lace we send you with whatever you like.

top

guide des tailles parfait, on dirais que la semelle a été découpé autour de mon pieds ! Le cordon est ajustable a votre guise pour le prix au top mais pour un résultat parfait cela aurais été optimal de mettre un revêtement en cuir pour la transpiration du pied.

Not comfortable for me

I have tried to get used to these sandals but can’t. I watched the videos about fit and wore them several times, thinking I just needed to adapt to them, but have concluded that the style - with something between the toes - just doesn’t work for me. Wishing I’d ordered a different model.

Trop d'attaches plastiques

Trop d'attaches plastique partout, finalement la semelle baille un peu. 14km de course m'ont laissé des ampoules sanguinolentes sous les attaches... Système pas du tout efficace
