“Surprisingly comfortable despite the thinner sole, the Xero Scrambler Mid II WP is a grippy, lightweight hiking boot that recently got improvements in terms of style and performance. The flat-footed design may take some time to get used to but the natural build will do wonders on your gait and posture in the long run.” – HiConsumption

Why you’ll love SCRAMBLER MID II WP

Scrambler Mid II WP – An ultralight waterproof hiking boot

Ever have that feeling at the end of a wet hike where you can’t wait to kick off your soggy, heavy boots?

You’ll never feel that again when you wear the Scrambler Mid II WP. They’re not just waterproof – they’re so lightweight and breathable that you might forget to take them off.

I really needed a waterproof barefoot hiking boot for wet or rainy hikes. These are exactly what I was looking for. They’re so light, grippy, and comfortable that they’re perfect for every hike.

Feels like I'm not wearing a shoe!

Oh my gosh I was blown away!

Super grippy, very very nice!

Waterproof and planet positive, thanks to eVent® BIO technology, your feet will remain dry and comfortable no matter what the conditions.

River, Rain, And Puddle Ready

This bio-based internal membrane is 100% waterproof while allowing moisture out. Made with highly-renewable plant-based materials,* this breathable, lightweight moisture-wicking membrane is tough but flexible.

We’ve paired it with our tight-weave abrasion-resistant, yet breathable mesh upper so you’ll have a truly dry & happy experience on all your adventures.

Like Wearing Mountain Bike Tires On Your Feet

Scrambler Mid II WP is a collaboration with Michelin, the car and bike tire company.

The thin Michelin fiberlite technology in the sole gives unparalleled strength, flexibility, and lightness. Plus, with mud-shedding lugs inspired by Michelin’s high-performance mountain bike tires, you feel the confidence that comes with incredible grip.

Extra Protection With An “Illusion”

The Scrambler Mid II WP may appear to have a thick sole, leading you to assume that Xero Shoes has sold out.

Far from it. While the boot has a thin layer of our TrailFoam™ to provide extra comfort and protection on rough trails, the thick sole is an illusion created by our design team to make this look like a conventional hiking boot. You get the lightweight flexibility you’ve come to expect from Xero Shoes. Averaging just 12.2 oz per boot (men’s 9), a pair of the Scrambler Mid II WP weighs less than just one single boot from most other companies.

Like all our shoes, the Scrambler Mid II WP is made to give you season after season of outdoor fun and is covered by our 5,000-mile sole warranty.

Whether you take it for a day trip or a month-long thru-hike, the Scrambler Mid II WP is your perfect companion to Live Life Feet First!

*About eVent®:
Designed to withstand any weather condition, eVent® BIO Footwear is a waterproof and planet-positive laminate that combines cutting-edge technology with highly renewable plant-based materials. Derived from tall oil, a by-product of wood pulp, BIO Footwear offers good abrasion resistance, ensuring your shoes stand the test of time.

HFS II for everything you do.

Made to Last.

Like all Xero Shoes, the HFS II has a 5,000 mile sole warranty to outlast typical running shoes that are supposed to be replaced after 200-500 miles.

Why "HFS"?

Why HFS? Well, it could be for the “Highly Flexible Sole” that lets your foot move naturally, or the face you’ll make when you put it on — “Happy Face Shoe” — or the way you run in it with a “High Frequency Stride”, or what you exclaim when you put it on and feel the comfort and light weight: “Holy ___ ___!” There are as many possible answers as there are things you’ll do in the HFS II.

Life Changing Comfort.

Life Changing Comfort. 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 HFS II. 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 Live Life Feet First!

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

FAQs

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.

Best boot I've ever had

This boot is immediately super comfortable, no break in needed. Good traction, good waterproofing. I recommend this to a friend that has never tried minimalist shoes before and he also says it's the best boot he's ever had. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good hiking boot or multipurpose boot. I have one small complaint which is the toe box is really tall. There's too much room on top of the toes. Also makes it look a little crunched up when you tie them up because of this. True to size. I mostly wear 11.5 on Xero and 11 in some other models.

Happy with purchase

So far these hiking boots are working out well. They are both lightweight and comfortable. And best of all it has a wide toe box and a zero drop heel.-just what I needed! Hopefully, the soles will last and keep the water out…

Love Xero, but not these boots

I'm a big fan of Xero and own several pairs. This boot has a seam between the top of the boot and the waterproof liner on the inside ankle that rubbed against my ankle bone. If Xero can fix this in the next iteration, it would be a great boot. Everything else seemed top notch. Pros: I loved the outsole, and the return process was very easy.

Xero Shoes

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're so glad to hear you're a big fan of Xero and that you love many of our products. We're sorry to hear about the rubbing issue with the seam on your boot—comfort is a top priority for us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll certainly take your feedback into consideration as we work on improving future designs. It’s great to know you enjoyed the outsole and had a smooth return process. We hope to continue providing you with the best barefoot footwear in the future! Thanks again for your support!

For hiking, not running

These are nice light waterproof hiking boots. Not flexible enough for running. I would love to see a winter version of the Aqua X Sport for trail running or winter running, using the same sole and footbed, but then wind proof and/or waterproof and either low top or high top.
