The Z-Trek from Xero Shoes is a minimalist, sporty sandal that’s known for its lightweight feel and barefoot-style flexibility. It uses adjustable webbing straps and a very thin sole for a natural walking experience. Many active users like the ground feel, but for older adults or those needing more cushion, the lack of padding can leave feet sore after long walks.
The straps can also be tricky to adjust for a secure fit, and some find the grip not reliable on wet surfaces. It’s a good option for occasional outdoor wear, but may not provide enough comfort for seniors on harder pavements or uneven terrain.
