Once [my favorite shoe](https://www.wired.com/story/xero-z-trail-barefoot/) (I've since moved to the even more minimalist [Z-Trek Sandal](https://xeroshoes.com/shop/sandals/ztrek-men/)), these remain a great choice for beginners and experience barefooters alike. Think of these as the barefoot answer to Chacos. Except where Chacos are like putting tractors on your feet, the Z-Trails still flex and bend as you walk, giving your feet the freedom of movement you expect from a barefoot shoe.  The kids Z Trails are also a [great deal at $30 ($30 off)](https://xeroshoes.com/shop/sandals/ztrail-kids/).

the HFS is [our favorite barefoot shoe](https://www.wired.com/gallery/best-barefoot-shoes/#5fa2d9c49d236583d3ba9988) for running on human-made surfaces like concrete and asphalt.

The Tari is our top pick for a solid winter boot. My daughter has worn these for two years now everywhere from the icy, windy Colorado plains to the wind-swept Outer Banks and had toasty toes throughout. While technically a slip-on, it does have an adjustable strap that runs from the top of the arch, down to the sole, and then through a buckle near the back, which means you can snug it down a little if you need to.
