    Why You'll Love the Genesis DIY Sandal Kit

    Your Sandal, Your Way

    The Genesis DIY Sandal Kit brings you back to the product that launched Xero Shoes. From the beginning, no two pairs were the same. People chose their cords, adjusted their fit, and made something uniquely theirs. That hasn’t changed. With 18 cord colors and either our 4mm or 6mm FeelTrue® rubber sole in black or brown to choose from, you control the fit, the feel, the final result. Because this was never about uniformity — it was about making it your own.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Follow along with the video above and this blog post to learn how to tie your sandals. You can also follow the step-by-step written instructions: Download the Genesis DIY Sandal Kit Step-by-Step Assembly Guide [PDF, 3.2 MB].

    1. Punch the holes. Use the hole punch provided to make three holes in the outsole.
    2. Make a stopper knot. Before threading the cord through the outsole, create a stopper at one end of the cord so it will not pull through the sole.
    3. Thread the cord through the toe hole. Insert the cord through the toe hole from bottom to top. The knot should be on the bottom of the sole.
    4. Thread the cord through the outside ankle hole.
    5. Run the cord across the heel.
    6. Thread the cord through the inside ankle hole.
    7. Tie the main huarache knot. This secures the main structure of the sandal.
    8. Create a second cord pass.
    9. Lace around the heel.
    10. Finish the final knot.

    Now you can wear the sandal and adjust the cord tension until the sandal feels secure and comfortable on your foot.
    Once the fit feels right, you should not need to retie the knot each time. You can simply slip the heel strap on and off when wearing your sandals.
