The Original Minimalist Sandal

The simplest, most versatile sandal your feet will ever love.
The Genesis is more than a sandal, it’s the heart of Xero Shoes. Inspired by one of humanity’s earliest footwear designs, the Genesis is where the Xero Shoe journey began… and still defines it today.

Every detail embodies Xero Shoes’ purpose: empowering natural movement, honoring simplicity, and letting your feet do what they were meant to do. When you choose the Genesis, you’re not just buying a sandal; you’re stepping into the core vision of Xero Shoes – a commitment to living life feet first.

  • The original minimalist sandal
  • Ultra-light, flexible, and packable
  • Timeless and effortless

Easy On/Off and Packable

The Genesis is all about effortless style. The pre-laced, adjustable system means they’re easy on/off. They’re also featherlight, and ultra-packable. Lay them flat, roll them up, or clip them to your bag – the perfect travel companion for everything from a day by the pool to an extended vacation.

Natural Movement

The barefoot design of the Genesis lets your feet adjust and mold to the terrain, so you can move with confidence and agility. This is different from stiff-soled sandals that force you to move on top of the ground without really connecting to it.

Best for: Light trails, camp shoe, road running

Sole thickness: 5mm

The zero-drop sole allows for natural movement!

Barefoot - but better!

"Ordered a pair of these for the current (May 2026) heatwave in the UK - it was a slight gamble on my part as I’ve never before had such minimal sandals and wasn’t sure how well I’d get on with them, but I needn’t have worried. They arrived today, and after wearing them around the house for an hour or two, I found them so comfortable that I opted to wear them straight on a night out with no break-in period - and what a great decision that turned out to be. I spent the whole evening in complete comfort without the straps rubbing no matter whether I was sitting, standing or walking whilst remaining confident that they wouldn’t slip or fall back - in fact, I don’t think my feet could have been more any comfortable even if they’d been completely bare. For me, the Genesis is a brilliantly-engineered go-anywhere sandal which will provide exceptional comfort and stability in a variety of situations - I couldn’t recommend them any more highly, and they get an easy 5 stars from me."
