Some people think barefoot running sandals are the same as a pair of flip flops.

They’re not.

The biggest differences:

1) A sandal like the ones from Xero Shoes stays ON your foot — barefoot running sandals have a heel strap that holds them securely to your foot.

2) Comfort — When you walk in flip flops, you have JAM your toes into the thong, and grip with your toes to keep them from falling off… Because the strapping on Xero Shoes’ sandals goes all the way around your foot and ankle, you don’t have that issue or discomfort

3) MORE Comfort — The toe strap on barefoot running sandals is flexible, soft, and small… and, again, because of the lacing style, you barely notice it, if at all (besides there are other tying styles that don’t have a toe strap).

4) DURABILITY – Flip flops are not made of performance-grade materials. Xero Shoes sandals have an outsole made of FeelTrue rubber, the only rubber developed specifically for barefoot sandals. Our shoes and sandals have a 5,000 mile sole warranty!
