Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Mesa Trail

Ordered one pair at my normal 9.5 but they were too small. The tens fit well. Finished first trail run just now and they’re were great. Light and good grip. We will see how they last.

Out of the box extremely comfortable. I use for biking and they are perfect. Light as feathers.

PERFECT

I knew I would love these shoes from the minute I put them on! I have to wear a zero drop shoe, and the style and comfort of these are exceptional!

Love, love, love this shoe. Think Altra but with a sole that won't wear out in 3 to 6 months. New favorite minimalist shoe!

Love them!

I really like these shows; I've got less than 100 miles on them so far, so I can't speak to their durability -- but if they are like my Xero HFSs, they'll be good there as well. They are snug and comfortable and provide a good balance of basic protection and support on the trails while still feeling, absolutely, light and minimal. I wanted to write mainly about sizing. I'm a 10.5 in most shoes, and I *am* a 10.5 -- my regular size -- in these. They *do* run a little small; they are a little small, and I am stretching them out through some slight push and rubbing on my toes. But it is *not* "too small shoes" push and rubbing; you can't do proper trail runs in "too small shoes" without injury, and I've done a bunch in these with no more than those small factors. My point being: you may *not* need to pop up a half-size for these, though they do run a little small; I have a 10.5 in both pairs of Xero shoes that I have (these, and my XFS) and I'm glad that I went with my regular size, especially for snug minimal shoes like these.

So far they have been great. Also Zappos was amazing returned a pair because they were half size small.

although it came a half size larger than my usual (deliberetely ordered size 13 mens when I'm usually wearing 12), but happy that it is a bit bigger.

These fit great - had to go up half a size but they fit great can even wear a heavier sock with this shoe!

I am elated with these shoes. Comfy, flexible and of course, flat. I have never owned shoes I looked forward to putting on. The phrase “game-changer” is overused, but for me, it is absolutely true. Highly recommended.

I couldnt be happier with my new Mesa Trails. Comfortable as can be. They are my only shoes other than cycling shoes that I brought on a months-long van trip.

I wore the Mesa Trail on a 25 mile hike through the Cascades and they worked like a champ. I highly recommend the Mesa Trail shoes.

This is my first zero-drop "barefoot" shoe so I followed the rules and gradually adjusted. The shoes have been great! I do a lot of trail walking with these on rugged variable terrain and am not only impressed with the durability but the traction as well.

I bought these shoes on a whim. I got a pop-up ad on YouTube and the philosophy behind them was so convincing that I decided to give 'em a try. Let me begin by saying that I have bad feet. My life has been a quest to find comfortable shoes that didn't feel like I had a kayak on each foot. I tried them on late in the afternoon when they came in and thought "Hmmm... interesting, different and rather comfortable". I wore them the next day to work and at the last minute remembered that I was committed to go on a hike and didn't have time to go home for my traditional hiking accoutrements so... here goes... a 5 mile fairly strenuous mountain hike in new shoes! Not a recipe for success in the past, but lo and behold when I got home NARY A BLISTER! Great traction and supreme comfort. As predicted in the blogs, a little soreness in the calves while getting adjusted but I love 'em and keep buying more for different purposes. These shoes are truly revolutionary. Send me a T-shirt and I'll pay for it!

I love these shoes. I hope they don't change the uppers ever like so may other shoe companies are want to do. wear them every day for trail running and because of the generous warranty on the treads I wear them for everyday whenever my outfit allows

These are the best zero-drop hiking shoes I’ve used. Love them.

This is the best shoe that I've found to wear without socks. The lining is smooth and comfortable. For 14 years, when I was in high school, college and first teaching, I went barefoot all summer working a camp. When I retired, I wanted that same "sense the ground" feeling but I live surrounded by pavement. This is the closet that I'll get to be barefoot.

The grip is fantastic. I was able to keep up with my teenage nephews as we ran on (and off) trails, over rocks, and through streams. My feet got a great workout and feel great!

I have a pair of Prios for everyday wear that I love. I bought these Mesas for hiking and golf. They. Are. Amazing. I've looked a long time for a barefoot shoe that has good grip for golf, and these fit the bill. I also wore them for several hikes and they did great on loose ground, wet stones, and every manner of dirt and mud. I wish they dried a little faster when wet, but other than that, I have no complaints. As long as they hold up, and I think they will, these are exactly what I want and need. Buy with confidence, especially if you've worn xeros before and want something with a grippy sole.

Love them so far, took them to Colorado for some mild rock climbing. Back home in WA in the muddy/snowy trails. Amazing so far, putting them to the grindstone and they are holding up.

Just got the Mesa Trail in the mail and I love them! I'm looking forward to getting out on the trail with them.

These are amazing shoes for casual hiking and comfortable to water every day.

I have been using New Balance for a long while. I have a wide toe box and very few running shoes fit. These fit like a dream and are some of the best running shoes I've owned.

Up until about 10 days ago I was loving my Mesa Trails all day every day! However I had knee surgery (Im no ortho doc, but I think its because of conventional shoes I ended up needing surgery) and my Mesas are collecting some dust right now. What am I wearing instead you might ask?
