“The perfect balance between cozy and lightweight.” – Rhylee C.

Enjoy that crisp winter weather in the Alpine – your fully-waterproof, lightweight, minimalist snow boot

Now you don’t need to sacrifice comfort and natural movement when the temperature starts to fall and snow is in the air (and on the ground).

Waterproof, cozy, and warm!

The Alpine keeps the wet out with a fully seam-sealed inner bootie and a waterproof membrane in the boot’s upper.

The insulated polyester fleece lining keeps those piggies nice and warm. And a heat-reflective insole adds to the winter-friendly comfort. And, yes, you can remove the insole for an even more “barefoot” feeling.

The Alpine has 200g of insulation so they should keep your feet warm no matter where your adventures take you.

Lightweight and grippy

A women’s 7 weighs just 12.2 ounces each, a luggy tread gives you sure-footed traction, and a flexible, non-elevated (zero-drop) sole lets your foot move naturally.

Plus, the Alpine is made from 100% vegan-friendly materials.

Whether you wear the Alpine for a romp in the snow or after you slip off your ski boots, remember…

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from using your feet naturally.

That’s what Xero Shoes let you do.

Natural Fit. Natural Motion. Natural Feel.

Plus Xero Shoes are backed with a 5,000-mile sole warranty.

Caring for your Alpines

To clean your Alpines, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting the Alpine in the washing machine or dryer.

Does the Alpine work well with snowshoes?

The answer is YES! The Alpine is a great boot to pair with snowshoes, especially with the zero-drop, FeelTrue® rubber soles for a low center of gravity. Most snowshoes secure the boots with straps that go over the toes, instep, and around the heel, and will work just fine with the Alpine. And with our 200g insulation, rated to -25°/-32°C, and the fully seam-sealed, water-resistant inner bootie, your feet should stay warm and toasty while you’re hiking!

What’s the cold weather rating for the Alpine?

Unlike, say, sleeping bags, there’s no accurate temperature rating system for shoes. How a shoe handles the cold (or, rather, how a person handles the cold in a shoe) depends on factors beyond air temperature, including: ground temperature, humidity, blood circulation in your feet, foot mobility (the more you move, the warmer you might feel) and, of course, the socks you’re wearing (or not wearing, as the case may be).

The short answer is, the Alpine has 200g insulation, rated to -25°/-32°C.

With the seam sealed bootie, heat-reflecting insole, insulated synthetic lining, and lugged sole, we’re giving you a cozy natural movement option for staying warm in the cold.

Do you ship internationally?

We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

NOT WATERPROOF

I've had these boots for a few months now and have been loving them. They are super comfortable and warm. I was excited to finally wear them on an outdoor 3D archery tournament this past weekend, believing they would keep me comfortable and dry. THEY DID NOT!! I'm very disappointed in them. It started raining on us about halfway through the shoot and I was in the middle of the foothills, a couple of miles away from my destination. At first things were okay, but eventually the water started seeping in and before I knew it, water was sloshing around in my boots. By the time I got home I could wring my socks out there was so much water in the boots. I didn't walk through any puddles, just grass and hiking trails. It was a complete and utter failure that caused me pain and suffering since they caused me to get really cold while also wet and triggered my disabilities. As a disabled veteran, I have to be careful how and when I do things. Having waterproof boots is a MUST for me and I counted on them to keep me comfortable and able to take part in the hike and tournament. Instead, I was miserable and it will take me days to recover from it. And because of that, I could not participate in the second day of the tournament, having to abandon my teammate to finish alone. I cannot even express how very disappointed I actually am. They are a total let down.

We're deeply sorry to hear about your experience with our boots during the archery tournament. Your comfort, especially given your circumstances as a disabled veteran, is of utmost importance to us. It's disheartening to hear that our boots failed to provide the waterproof protection you needed, leading to such discomfort and disappointment. We understand the severity of the situation and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and distress caused. This falls short of the high standards we set for our products, and we're committed to making it right for you. Please reach out to us directly so we can discuss how to address this issue and ensure you receive the support and resolution you deserve. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for your service to our country.

Seem Great! Just need some snow to test them out

I bought these toward the end of the winter season and haven't gotten to test them in the snow yet, but they fit great and are very comfortable.

Frustrated by the quality

This is a frustrating review to write because I’ve REALLY enjoyed wearing these boots—they’re comfortable, warm, and initially they looked great. However, with less than 4 months of wear, the back of both boots has torn. Frankly, I can and will sew them up myself because I can’t afford to buy new boots every season. But on top of that, I discovered quickly and to my displeasure that they’re not waterproof and I would hardly even call them water-resistant. We’ve had a mild winter in Ontario and if I wear them in any rain or wet snow, my feet are wet within15 minutes. And this after I additionally hit them with a waterproofing spray. I’m resigned to having wet feet—it seems no barefoot company has been able to design a winter boot that is durable and waterproof. I would personally advertise these boots to someone as an autumn/ spring cool weather hiking boot for primarily dry conditions. For context, prior to switching to barefoot shoes, I often wore Blundstone boots 3-4 seasons of the year, and both pairs I had lasted over three years. This is my expectation for a shoe I have to pay over 200$ for after the US to Cad conversion, shipping, and duties.
