Fully Waterproof Hiking Boot - Men's Xcursion

The best shoes I have ever worn, and honestly the only shoes I wear now. Thank you for making super awesome footwear!

These shoes are very nice! Used them on a 60km rocky hike through the Canadian Shield. The sole is thicker than the normal Xero shoe. This was my important for me however as I did have a 30lb backpack and a lot of up and down rock on hike. When putting the foot down on a sharper rock the sole was very appreciated. The water proof membrane works excellent while my feet would breath surprisingly well and my feet sweat a lot. Did this trail plus 4 additional shorter trails and they are holding up very well with minimal signs of wear. Highly recommend these

I love these. I had enjoyed using the Daylite Hiker, but unless conditions were really dry, they were pretty hopeless for the sort of field walking that I do. I’ve owned my Xcursions since last year, but only got to use them in earnest over the last couple of months.. and yes, they have kept out the water when crossing fields of wet grass. They also feel a lot more robust than the Daylite Hiker. Wherein lies an unexpected benefit.... I was not able to walk very much at all from July 2019 until March 2020. I broke my left foot... pretty comprehensively, and it has taken almost a year to return to something near my former walking capability. All barefoot minimal footwear.. which is exclusively what I’d used for the preceding ten years.... was out, as I had to use rigid shoes with various orthotics. It was only in January that I was able to experiment. What I found was that of all my barefoot gear...vivobarefoots, kuuvas.... my foot would only tolerate the Xcursion. The Xcursion’s sole is significantly more rigid than the other barefoots, and the boot also accommodates my final orthotic (which I am working to slowly wean myself off through progressive exercises). Consequently, I have been able to do walks of 8 to 11 miles without any foot grief. Attempts to do likewise with my other barefoots have triggered pain and discomfort..... and well before this, I used the Xcursions in my early transitioning from giant boot and wedge shoes.... even the somewhat surprised hospital orthotist reckoned the Xcursion was sufficiently rigid! You might think such rigidity is not really compatible with being a barefoot shoe, but fact is that safe off-road walking can require a bit more rigidity and a tad more protection than walking or running on firm and level ground. I broke my foot while walking in such terrain in very flexible barefoot boots. Don’t get the wrong idea: it’s not the case that the Xcursions are as rigid as a pair of traditional vibram hiking boots - there is plenty of toe flex and the sole offers oodles more ground feel - but it’s is rigid enough to limit torsional twisting across the rear three quarters of the sole. This last is why it has allowed me to return to zero drop hiking... months before I could have done in my other barefoots. Brilliant. Oh yes, and it is also happens to be a more comfortable fit than any of the rival boots....

They’ve become my go-to boot for work (minus the steel toe). Building our house (ok, i’m a glorified grunt) and they have proven to be tough, durable, and very comfortable. Between these and my prio’s, I very rarely put anything else on my feet (except lotion). Thank you!

I was afraid of rolling my ankle in these, but I found my balance was much better over my regular hard soled hiking boots. I'll be sticking with these moving forward over other boots.

Having been a Prio (day to day), HFS wearer for something now the excursion was my next step. I spend a lot of time outdoors so wanted something a little sturdier and waterproof. The Xcursion didn’t disappoint! They are so comfy and lightweight I keep breaking in to a jog! I wear them for work as an outdoor activity instructor and feel fresh all day in them.

I wear them mostly for construction work as I do my trail runs and most hikes in my low top teraflex. However these are incredibly comfortable for a full closure “heavier” rugged boot. Another win for Xero

Really like the Xcursion, very comfortable and lightweight. I was surprised with how comfortable they were considering how thin the sole is. Had an issue with the first pair, the lacing hooks on one side broke off on my first trip with them. When I got home I contacted customer service and a new pair was shipped very quickly. Great customer service!

Feels well supported. I wish I got to them try out in the winter these are gonna be my go to in trail Running in the winter in Canada. They are water proof and feel nice. Need to be broken in a little bit but with some work these will be great !

These are my go-to boots. I wear them on day hikes and around town. The sole is thick enough to "feel the ground" but still give my large body the support it needs. I haven't had a chance to wear them while backpacking. I hope to do that soon.
