Minimalist Sandals are mankind’s oldest footwear, with examples found that are thousands of years old.
They’re also the simplest — something to protect your soles, plus some way to hold that protection onto your foot.
That’s why people have enjoyed the comfort and freedom of sandals for activities including:
- Walking
- Running
- Hiking
- Working out
- Yoga
- Travel
Then there’s the unique value that minimalist sandals offer — letting your feet do what’s NATURAL
Your feet are made to bend, flex, move, and FEEL the world (your brain needs feedback so you can balance and move move effectively and efficiently).
NOTE: don’t confuse huaraches style sandals with flip flops. I’ll explain why in the FAQ section further down the page.
Here are our best-sellers for men, women, and kids that will help you Live Life Feet First:

A quick question for you…
Think about your feet for a moment.
Do they feel better at the end of the day than they did at the beginning?
No?
If not, that’s because your shoes aren’t letting your feet do what’s NATURAL — bend, flex, move, and FEEL the world.
True comfort — and performance — come from letting your feet do what’s natural.
At Xero Shoes, we make products that let you do what’s natural, so you can Live Life Feet First!

Are these “authentic” huaraches?
“Huaraches” is a Spanish word for sandal, and most people think of the Mexican woven leather sandals when they think of huaraches.
The word became synonymous with “running sandals” after Christopher McDougall’s New York Times best-selling book, Born To Run, became popular in 2009-2010.
The Tarahumara tribe (also known as the Raramuri, or “Running People”) is known for running hundreds of miles in sandals made from scraps of tire, held on with a leather strap.
The Westerners who saw these simple-but-effective shoes asked what they were called, and were told “huaraches.”
So, not surprisingly, in some circles, a huarache is a running sandal, and in others it’s a woven leather sandal.
