Additional Sizing Information
Here are additional sizing recommendations — and size conversion charts — for our shoes and sandals:
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 40 is the same length as the narrower women’s 39 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
- Find your usual shoe size on the charts below. For the Z-Trek in particular, try 1 size smaller than your usual size.
- 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 and original Cloud are unisex styles. For example, a men’s 41 is the same exact shoe as a women’s 39.5.
- 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 42 in the Genesis, Cloud and Z-Trail are a size 41 in the Z-Trek.
- The soles of the Genesis, original Cloud 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.
