The 7 Best Barefoot Hiking Sandals of 2026

We’re all-in on barefoot shoes here at Terradrift. And when summer rolls around, we do just about everything in them: hike, travel, trail run, you name it. Naturally, we’ve tested a lot of barefoot sandals over the years (check out last year’s list of favorites in the link up here and in the description). But these are our very favorite barefoot adventure sandals from our very favorite brands. Including some you may have seen us review before, plus a few new styles and brands. As always, to test them we hiked, trail ran and traveled on dirty, rocky, uneven trails in Utah and beyond, packed them in our luggage, and compared functionality, comfort and more, all to determine which ones are best for what activities, which are the most durable, have the best ground feel, you name it. 0:00 Intro 0:55 How to transition: http://link.terradrift.com/transition Men's Barefoot Shoes: https://link.terradrift.com/Iu2ug7 Women's Barefoot Shoes: https://link.terradrift.com/Ng2RyN 1:19 Deliberate Life Designs Enigma (use code TERRADRIFT10 for 10% off): https://link.terradrift.com/7Q3gbd 3:34 Zuzu Sandals Flow: https://link.terradrift.com/ATnHCx 5:17 Shamma Sandals TrailStar Ibex: https://link.terradrift.com/DmFSQZ 6:55 Xero Shoes D-Trail Sandals Women's: https://link.terradrift.com/XqvEyf Men's: https://link.terradrift.com/NfUZ7c 8:40 Luna Sandals Oso Flaco: https://link.terradrift.com/MIUM5z 10:29 Earth Runners Primal Sandals: https://link.terradrift.com/aBoG6J What is Grounding:    • The Science of Earthing and Are Grounding ...   12:07 Vivobarefoot Tracker Ora: https://link.terradrift.com/RQPIIr 13:58 Our favorites Did we miss something?
