Xero Shoes Women's Mesa Trail Running Shoe - Lightweight Barefoot Trail Runner

I have had Xero shoes before, loved them. They lasted a decent length of time before they wore out, it was well over a year, year and a half before I needed a new pair.However this pair, I have walked less than a 1000 miles in them, and the tread has worn off in the heels, there is not a solid piece of vibram under the lugs, so if the lugs wear off, you have holes through the vibram. One lacing strap is broken and I lace my shoes loosely do there wasn't strain of any kind on the strap, and the fabric parts are beginning to rip by the arch of the foot and across the top of the foot.I walk in my shoes: road, and trail. I don't rock scramble or do anything that beats up my shoes.I contacted them, and their solution is for me to send these back, and then I can buy a new pair at a discount. But even with a discount, I can't see buying shoes that won't last 1000 miles. The quality has gone downhill since my last pair. Of people I know who have been xero fans, this is the general consensus among us all.Actually, thinking about it, it took several pairs sent and returned to amazon to get a pair that didn't have a lump in the sole or an obvious flaw to begin with.

Love the look and feel of these sneakers, but unfortunately the ribbon that holds the lace has broken. Only lasted 3 weeks before it broke. Was not worth the money

I was skeptical of getting a pair of minimal support shoes. I have suffered from a knee injury a long time ago, and even just walking a half mile I would be limping. I gave these shoes a shot after recommendation from a friend. After wearing these, I can’t go back to supported fancy shoes that lift my heel etc. I no longer have knee issues. I have hiked 6 miles in these and I have NO knee pain!!! I love the shoes and the brand will be my dominant shoe in my closet. I recommend them for anyone! Keep in mind it takes time to adjust to the new feeling of not have the fancy support system, but it is soo much better for the joints, posture, the strength in your feet and ankles (all the strength we lose wearing supported shoes).I just ordered a pair of running shoes, and I can’t wait to get them!!

LIGHT AND COMFORTABLE. PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MY TOES. GOT THEM TODAY, WALKED 6 MILES AND THEY ARE JUST PERFECT. THIS IS MY SECOND PAIR OF XERO SHOES AND I LOVE THEM BOTH. HOWEVER, DON'T EXPECT TO GET 5000 MILES OUT OF THEM. THEY ONLY LASTED 3 MONTHS. XERO DID REPLACE THEM WITH ANOTHER PAIR AND AGAIN 3 MONTHS LATER AND NEED A NEW PAIR. MAYBE 1000 MILES OUT OF THESE SOLES.

I love these Xero shoes! So comfortable! I went up a half size... I use them for weight training and walking, and they have exceeded my expectations! I get compliments every time I wear them.

I really like this shoe but it runs small in length so order a full size larger. One of the inserts is the wrong size. I ordered a women’s 11 and the right insert is for a size 9 shoe. I contacted the company and they didn’t respond. This is why 3 stars. I would have given 5 otherwise. I tried the hfs and do not like it for sidewalk running because there is no traction. I like this shoe for road running. It provides the flexibility and barefoot feel with great traction. Wish I had two inserts that fit. I prefer this shoe with the inserts. I would change my review to 5 stars if I had two inserts that fit properly.

I wear a 6.5W, I ordered a size 7. They only fit when I take out the insoles. Next time I'll order a 7.5, if they wear well over time. I love how spacious the toe box is. The fabric is not tight on the toes, so day one they look used instead of new. I do not like the texture of the laces. I always double knot my other shoes, but these laces are a little too short. The lounge could be a little longer to make putting them on easier. I walk in the desert often and was worried about sand getting in them. Though some sand does get in, it's not enough to complain. The lugs are a nice size and I'm looking forward to trying them out on hiking trails. I love the natural feel of the rocks under my feet. It's like a sensory foot massage.

that have zero heel drop and deeper cleats, and more durable cloth covering your feet.not going to say the brand because i'm hoarding the shoes right now, but they're cheaper and better.
