“The Veracruz sandals have essentially the same outsole and footbed as the Z-Trail EV, which makes them very comfortable and flexible; and they have great traction. The strap system is really unique and fits comfortably. For the little while that I tried these on, it barely felt like wearing any sandals at all. One thing that I'm not sure about yet is how well they stay in place. It seems that by adjusting the two straps, you can secure your ankle and rear part of your foot rather well. The toe strap is not adjustable, so unless you have a thicker toe (and mine aren't skinny, but they don't "fill" the toe loop) the front of the sandal seems like it could shift around a bit. As I have time to play with the straps, I'm going to see how well I can get my foot secured. As it is, these would be great for daily wear, but I'd be a little cautious with running/sports until I'm sure my forefoot isn't going to slide to the inside at all. Having an adjustable toe loop would eliminate that concern completely. Otherwise, I like that they are light and comfortable. I also love the design.. I got the green ones with the geckos/lizards on the straps, and I like that the footbed is a light color. I often take my sandals off near the water, and like the option of having lighter colors, so they don't get really hot if they are out for a little while in the sun.”

“The toe loop is a lot bigger on one than the other.”
