Review: They are very stylish, if they had a little more cushion they will be perfect
Review: I first bought these Genesis shoes back in 2020. They were very comfortable, but I could never get the strap around the back of the heals adjusted correctly so that they would stay in place. They kept sliding down off of the heal which leaves nothing to keep the shoes on your feet. I gave up and didn't wear them for a couple of years. In 2022, I found a video on the Xero shoes website on how to properly adjust the straps. I decided to give them another try. With a bit of trial and error, I was finally able to get the heal straps to stay in place. Once they were adjusted correctly, I found that they were the most comfortable shoe I'd ever worn. I wear them everywhere. The soles are thin, which is a big part of their appeal. They're extremely comfortable on flat or soft surfaces. Walking around a store, on pavement or in the dirt or grass is almost like being barefoot, only better. The pavement gets HOT where I live and these things do a great job of protecting my feet from the heat. Most of the time, I barely know they're on my feet. The thin soles aren't so great when walking on gravel, stone or other rough or jagged surfaces. If I know I'll be walking on those types of surfaces, I'll wear my Xero Z-Trek IIs which have a thicker sole and provide more protection. After about a year of wearing the Genesis' full time, the rubber tag on the back of both heals came unglued which allowed the thread holding the ends of the straps together to come apart. Sad, but they lived a productive life. For a while, I promoted the Z-Trek IIs to my full time shoe. They're good, comfortable shoes, in their own right, and I wouldn't want to be without them, but they can't compare to the barefoot feel of the Genesis. I wanted my Genesis back so I bought another pair. Armed with the knowledge this time of how to adjust the straps, I was able to get them adjusted for my feet in no time. My feet are happy again. I would like the shoes to last for more than a year, but if I need to spend $40-$50 a year on new pairs, I can live with that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by L***I on 29 July 2019*

I've been trying to minimize the amount of stuff I have, so when I burned through my last pair of all purpose shoes, I looked for something that could REALLY do it all and these are it! My Xero's replaced my running shoes, house loungers, flops, beach sandals, and hiking sandals. They're head turners too, having had plenty of people stop and ask me about them. Recently took them on a week long trip to Hawaii and could not have been more impressed by their comfort and durability. They took up "xero" space in my pack and I even kept them in my pocket for any impromptu hikes. These got me through the Olomana Trail with confidence (look it up) and looked great on the beach too! I'm coming from a world of thick soles, so running in these took a little getting used to (2-3 runs for me). I recommend very short runs at first until you get an idea of how your running form reacts to these. If you're like me, you may need to shorten your stride a bit to avoid calve strain and blisters. The Xero website has a ton of quick videos to get you up to speed on barefoot running though.
