Xero's Veracruz sandals combine a lightweight and rugged sole with a stylish strapping system and a comfortable Toe Loop. Many customers who dislike thong sandals love the toe loop because it doesn't apply pressure in the same way.
So lightweight, a women's size 7 weighs only 113 grams. The new triple-layer FeelLight™ sole provides solid protection, traction, and grip with a new, more rugged tread under the ball of your foot.
We recommend the Veracruz as a casual sandal for walks, errands, going to the beach and socializing. We would like to see the strap system be a bit more secure before recommending it as a hiking sandal, though the sole design and material is ready for more technical terrain.
This sandal is made with all vegan materials.
New to Minimal Shoes?
The Veracruz is a great choice for those who are looking to transition to minimal shoes as its sole is wide, flexible, zero drop, and lets you Feel The World like all Xero shoes, but this sole is also a little on the thicker and more forgiving side since it is 10mm thick. Think less of a bare feet feeling and more of a minimal cushioning and protection. This will help you adjust to wearing minimal shoes more smoothly.
The thicker soles also make the Veracruz is a good choice for those who are concerned about the sensitivity of the soles of their feet, and for those who spend a lot of time in manmade environments, such as going for long walks on paved surfaces.
Sizing and Fitting Notes
This model tends to fit true to size in length and width for most of our customers. We recommend ordering your usual size, but go half a size up if you are between sizes to avoid toes falling off.
The current design of the Veracruz fits best on people with high volume feet. If your feet and ankles are wide and tall, these will likely be an ideal fit. If your feet are narrower and/or less tall, you may have a lot of excess material in the straps.
If you have any sizing questions we're happy to help.
To date we have only stocked the women's sizing for this model, and it comes in whole sizes only.
