“This is one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes on the market today. The DayLites have a heel that is flat and level with the inner drop sole for a more natural stance while walking. The footbed is also wide and cushy.” – Field & Stream
$35.99 – $59.99
“I use them for work, on my feet all day. Great quality, and build.” – Rik H.
“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.
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.
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.
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 recommend ordering your regular size.

To clean your Daylite Hikers Fusions, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry.
We do not recommend putting the Daylite Hiker Fusion in the washing machine or dryer.
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).

Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
5 stars. Needed a pair with a rugged pattern on the bottom for Pittsburgh winters. Wear them everywhere without fear of slipping.
Great minimalist hiking boots. Durable, great traction, and look good. Only complaint was they ran large. I have the HFS II’s and they fit perfect in my normal size. These on the other hand, are a bit large. Consider going 1/2 size down.
Love these shoes for him . Lot of operations for club foot. These have the toe box room. And are very light
I grew up not wearing shoes in Florida! Never liked the restrictions of shoes, so these Daylite Hiker Fusions are amazing for the NC Mountains I live in now! Closest thing to being barefoot but still protects and supports my feet and look great too! I will gradually swap out all my shoes for Xero Shoes!
These in my opinion are the best bang for the buck lightweight everyday hiking shoes. My pair has reached the end of the line and I need new ones. So I hope they get back in inventory as soon as they can. My pair lasted 4 years. There was a little bit of sole separation from the upper but nothing a few dabs of glue couldn't fix. I did change the inserts a few times but that is to be expected. Even though my current pair is done I will still wear them for kicking around the backyard.
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for trusting Xero Shoes for your everyday hiking adventures! We're thrilled to hear your pair lasted four years and served you well. While some wear and tear is expected over time, we appreciate your resourcefulness in keeping them going with a bit of glue and new inserts. It’s awesome to know they’re still your go-to for backyard activities! We’re working hard to restock, so stay tuned—we’d love to help you gear up with a new pair soon. Thanks again for being part of the Xero Shoes family!
