Lizard Trek Sandal

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

I’ve never been convinced by hiking sandals, I’ve always found the idea off-putting, but I have to admit, I like these.

Lizard says: 

Extremely lightweight, the TREK is a sandal designed for ultimate comfort, no matter where life takes you. Having an upper made of 100% recycled webbing, means the TREK sandal lowers its environmental impact, without compromising its performance. Your feet will thank you for choosing these sandals, as they stay comfy and breathe easy.

Our Verdict

These are not a recovery shoe or something to slip on at camp to let your feet breathe. They are a true, dedicated hiking sandal. They have two adjustable straps, one above the toes, and one across the top of the foot, to keep the foot in place, so you get a precise, custom fit that holds well. The snap buckle is solid, making donning and doffing these sandals quick. The spacer mesh offers a lot of cushioning and breathability, so they are very comfortable against bare skin, don’t make your feet too hot, and dry incredibly quickly.

The EVA midsole is well cushioned and moulded to form a comfortable, secure footbed. The 8mm drop means these are an excellent choice to cover some miles in, not just to slip on around camp.

I wouldn’t go mountain climbing in them, but I think these would be brilliant on a multi-day hike if you had a long section of road walking. Equally good along the coast, the woods, and even some low-level hill walking.
