Additional Sizing Information

Here are additional sizing recommendations — and size conversion charts — for our shoes:

SHOES

Men’s Shoes

• All of our men’s shoes are wider than conventional men’s shoes. If you normally wear a larger size to get a wider fit in conventional shoes, you may not have to do that with Xero Shoes.
• Natural materials (like leather or canvas) may stretch during initial wear.
• If you think of your foot as particularly narrow, you can consider ordering a women’s style. Many of our male customers find a great fit in our women’s styles. Just be sure to adjust the size by 1 (for example a men’s 6 is the same length as the narrower women’s 7 in our shoes).
• People like different types of fit — some like their toes near the end, others like 0.5 cm – 1.5 cm of extra space.

SANDALS

2 Simple Steps to the Correct Fit

1. Find your usual shoe size on the charts below. For the Z-Trek in particular, try 1 size smaller than your usual size.
2. Verify the fit by printing the appropriate size template and comparing it to your foot. This step is very important for getting a great fit the first time.

Fit Information for Xero Sandals

• The Genesis are unisex styles. For example, a men’s 7 is the same exact sandal as a women’s 7.5.
• The Z-Trek and Z-Trail come in wider widths for men’s sizes and narrower widths for women’s sizes. However, many men with narrow feet find a great fit in the women’s sizes, and many women with wider feet find a great fit in the men’s sizes.
• The Z-Trek is our only sandal that fits larger than expected for many customers. For example, many customers who are a size 10 in the Genesis and Z-Trail are a size 9 in the Z-Trek.

• The soles of the Genesis and Z-Trek are very thin and flexible. We recommend a snug fit for these styles.
• The sole of the Z-Trail is thicker than our other sandals, so customers can get a roomier fit on this style, if preferred.
