Light, flexible, and easy to slip on, the D-Trail is a solid choice for combining everyday comfort with trail time.
Xero Shoes says:
Wear the D-Trail around town with friends and enjoy the compliments you get on how cool they look. Later in the day, head out for a hike and wait while all your friends change their shoes. Not you, though. In the D-Trail, you’re all set. The FeelTrue® rubber outsole with a dual chevron lug pattern gives you the traction and protection you need to tackle the trail. And the barefoot design lets you walk, hike, and explore in all-day comfort.
Our Verdict
At just 194g per shoe, these sandals give you a real barefoot feel while still offering enough protection with their 6mm soles. The strap system is straightforward and quick to adjust, making it easy to get on and dial in. They feel steady on dry paths and do well over wet rock, so they work well if you are slipping them on for river crossings. Breathability is excellent, and comfort holds up over long days if you prefer a barefoot style, though the fit suits lower-volume feet best.
