WOW! What can I say about this upgrade?
The new style is just awesome.”
 
– Craig C.

With its new lightweight, abrasion-resistant welded upper and grippier lugged sole, the Daylite Hiker Fusion is perfect for those hikes when a technical boot is more than you need.

WHAT’S NEW ABOUT THE DAYLITE HIKER FUSION?

PROTECTION THAT FEELS JUST RIGHT.

The Daylite Hiker Fusion features a new 10mm FeelTrue® sole that includes a 3.5mm lugged dual chevron tread that has been re-designed to provide even more grip and control without sacrificing the ground feel and feedback you’d expect from Xero Shoes.

IMPROVED COMFORT AND DURABILITY.

We’ve tucked our Huarache-inspired tension straps under a sleek new welded upper so you can achieve a snug fit with even more splash and abrasion-resistance. At just 11.1 ounces each for a Men’s 9, the Daylite Hiker Fusion remains the perfect hiking boot for everyday adventures.

A FRESH, UPDATED LOOK.

Available in black and a subtle, earthy brown, the new Daylite Hiker is a minimalist hiking boot that is stylish enough to pair with just about any casual or work attire, so you can wear it both on and off the trail.

WE MAKE BOOTS SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Daylite Hiker Fusion.
 
Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.
 
All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and safely Feel the World® in total comfort.

We do not recommend putting the Daylite Hiker Fusion in the washing machine or dryer.

FAQs

It’s not waterproof because the tongue is independent of the rest of the upper, though the ballistic mesh material in the upper definitely makes this boot a little more rain-friendly than most other footwear. If you really want to keep the water at bay, check out our Xcursion — Xero’s first fully waterproof boot.

We use “men’s” and “women’s” as a matter of convention. We know there are some men who will fit better in the “women’s” shoe, and vice versa.

The “men’s” style is a bit wider across the toes and in the heel. The women’s, conversely, has a narrower heel and slightly less-wide toe box.

If you’re a man with a very thin foot, or a women with a wide foot, you may want to try the “other” style.


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.

After you purchase a gift certificate, you’ll be able to enter an email address for the recipient.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

My favorite Xero's!

Love these! Wear all the time. Play pickleball in them, too. Sale price was the catalyst to try them. Couldn't pay full price.

Seems like a scam

Ordered a 6.5 which is my normal size, when they arrived they didn’t fit at all, I couldn't even get my foot in properly, so I decided to exchange them for a size 8. With that pair the right shoe fit properly but the left shoe was too big, my feet aren’t really any different in size from each other so this came as a surprise. I didn’t want to deal with their shoes anymore so decided to return them and get my money back. It took a long time for them to process it but eventually got an email saying that my refund would be issued within 10 days. It’s been 15 days since that email and I have still not got my money back.

Falling apart

They are so comfortable, great prices But less than a month wearing them they are already falling apart. I only wear them twice a week when I'm exercising. I just don't get it. This is my third pair I've bought in about 6 years and every time they fall apart.

Unconformable

Honestly could not reccomend these shoes. They look pretty esthetically pleasing but feel cheap. The back of the shoe digs into the top of your heel/ achiles area. The shoe is pretty stiff in general, and the toebox feels smaller than expected. My middle toe jams into the front of toebox. I have a pair of HFS and they fit pretty well and are much more comfortable than these. The sole is very flat and stiff on these as well. Regret buying this pair. I normallu fit a size 10 and these feel a bit too small in width and length in comparison to my HFS. And other shoe brands.

Xero Shoes

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear that this pair didn't meet your expectations, especially given your positive experience with the HFS. The discomfort you've described, including the heel irritation, stiffness, and toe box fit, is not what we aim for in our footwear. Your input is invaluable, and we’ll share your observations with our design team as we strive to improve our products. Please consider reaching out to our Customer Happiness Team to discuss potential exchange or return options—we’d love to help you find a better fit for your needs.

I didn't like them I wore them for one week then threw them in the trash can. Too tight in the toe box!
