Fully Waterproof Hiking Boot - Men's Xcursion

My pair of Xcursion shoes are the third pair of shoes purchased from Xero! Now my whole shoe collection are Xeros. Like every pair I have purchased they required no break in period, are outstanding in mud, rain, and sidewalk! These are my daily shoes, so I am wearing them 90% of the time. I am looking forward to my next pair . . . either a Mesa or Terraflex! Xero is the only shoe I wear, thank you for such great product!

Solid boot great for hiking, walking, and working (light construction work). These have become my daily shoe. The only complaints I have is that it is really easy to get them too tight and they are a little slick on ice. If you made a version with a safety toe it would replace my "official" work boots.

Been wearing for a couple of weeks on and off, as spring is just coming to Alberta, Canada. As with all my Xero shoes, taking a bit of time for the feet to adjust. Great ground feedback, light, flexible and I am sure this will improve with wear. As a result, better posture, better movement and because I have naturally shortened my stride to acomadate no pain when walking, hiking and jogging. Thanks Xero shoes.

I work outside on many surfaces. Some days I work most of the day on concrete. These provide a good balance for me. Flexibility to move and a little stiffness for the tougher surfaces like concrete and very rocky landscapes.

These shoes are light yet safe, dry and functional. Feels like barefoot except a better grip and waterproof! I love them! #livefeetfirst

They're great, really great

Great shoes! I've been hiking twice on difficult trails with them and the ability to navigate the terrain is superior to anything I've tried. Being able to feel what is under my feet seriously helps the balance between steps.

Bought these to replace the older model of daylite hikers, which had more of a street shoe sole and really let my feet feel the rocks. These boots are an improvement on both counts, with a more aggressively lugged sole that gives me a firm grip even on slick rocks, and doesn't let the odd big pointy stone break my stride. There's still the same no-drop profile and I still get plenty of ground feel while still masking the pain of big gravel pieces, which had been a pain point in the old boots. The hiking-style eyelets on the high top also make for a smoother time lacing up. Now that I'm on my second pair of Xero hikers, I decided to dig out my old heavy-duty backpacking boots for a long hike last week. I wore them for one minute around the house before dumping them in my Goodwill donations pile. They're just so, so heavy. I wore these on that hike (5.3 miles, short for many but long for me!) and I'm not a graceful person but dang I felt graceful in these. Just the lack of weight, the stronger grip, and the way my feet feel in the shoes just makes me feel so connected to the ground and graceful in a way I generally am not. The one room for improvement, I think, was breathability. In hiking socks, and probably due to these being waterproofed, my feet got warm pretty fast and stayed that way. I did some research when I got home and apparently I had the right socks for summer, so I have to give the boots some of the blame for the heat issue. Waterproof items just aren't going to be as breathable as the Prios I run around in on a normal day. That said, I still love the shoes! I just wear shorts with these more often.

These shoes are comfortable and provide a good grip on cross country surfaces. They are well designed. They are fully waterproof. The only minor issue is that they do not breath like a goretex material would but I can only really mention this because the rest of the shoe is so perfect.

https://youtu.be/hFYysYSKYAE (25 JAN 2020) - Hiking the famous Flatirons in Boulder CO, conducting a traction test with my new Xero Shoes Xcursions (a lightweight fully waterproof hiking boot), through a toe stepping trail test across rocky terrain. For this traction test on dry ground they worked flawlessly! The tread was amazing in that it gripped and held my foot in place on edged rocks, both large and small. They fit true to size with a minimal break in period. They have been extremely comfortable since the first time I put them on. After wearing them for a few days the soles really loosened up and began to flex with ease. While I didn’t run them through a waterproof test for this video, I wore them daily throughout January here in Colorado, and we had plenty of snow to put them through the waterproof test. Not only did they perform as advertised, they kept my feet very warm. These are my first Xero Shoes and I am extremely happy with them. Will definitely be adding more, especially since it’s the Xero sandals which first brought my attention to this fabulous line of minimalist footwear. Thank you Steven and Lena and all your supporting cast at Xero Shoes!
