Xero Genesis: The Best Budget Barefoot Huarache Sandal
April 28, 2022—For budget barefootwear nothing beats the durability and flexibility of the Xero Genesis huarache sandal.
Hello, my name’s Andrew, and this is the Xero Genesis, the best barefoot huarache sandals for hiking and trail running on a minimalist budget.
1. Features
Back in 2017 I bought a pair of Xero Z-Trek’s, and I liked them so much that I literally didn’t buy another pair of barefoot sandals for six years.
But people kept bugging me for a huarache review, so I was like: “Ugh…fine, I’ll have Xero send me a pair of Genesis. Genesises? Genesi?”
Either way…I think I might have to switch to team toe thong!
Fit/Form
Because the Genesis has a minimalist design like the V-Trek but with a thinner, ultra-flexible 5mm sole, and a wide, foot-shaped toebox…
…although, FYI, I went with the more narrow women’s version, because I have skinny soccer feet.
