“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
$119.99
“Got the DayLites specifically for hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and North Carolina. They were awesome. True to size, lightweight, water resistant for those creek crossings. Loved every minute of hiking in my DayLites!!” – Theresa C.
“These boots are AMAZING! I find myself wearing them all the time when I need closed
toe shoes even when I’m not hiking.” – Kate
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 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 8.8 ounces each for a Women’s 7, the Daylite Hiker Fusion remains the perfect hiking boot for everyday adventures.
Available in black and a new subtle purple color, the new Daylite Hiker is a minimalist hiking boot that is stylish enough to pair with leggings, jeans, or khakis 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).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

But sturdy. I ordered these in a size 8 (usually a size 7.5/8), and had to exchange them for an 8.5. When I first put the 8.5 on, I thought they were too small AGAIN, but I walked around my house a bit and they fit perfectly. I've only gone on one hike so far, but my feet (and the rest of me) felt great during and after.
I wear there shoes every day while working on a farm. I'm on my feet all day and never have any issues, and I plan to take them backpacking this summer. I wouldn't say they're waterproof, but water resisitant and quick-drying maybe. Super comfy-would recommend.
I purchased the DayLite Hiker Fusion in advance of our July trip to North Cascades National Park. I had a pair of traditional hiking boots previously, and my toes always hurt/were squished by the end of our hikes, but not with these boots! They were great right out of the box, no break-in needed. I usually wear a size 10.5 and ordered an 11. We went on several day hikes for 4 consecutive days, totaling over 20 miles (longest hike had 3,500 foot gain in elevation) and these boots were great. No rubbing, blisters, squished toes or anything! I did add a small midfoot-heal insole, as this was my first time hiking in barefoot boots, although I probably could have done without it. My only minor complaint is that the Xero insole didn't stay in place (maybe because of the additional insole I had on top?). It kept sliding back, so I could feel the front edge under my toes. I love the color too (picture overlooking Diablo Lake).
I expected a wider toe box. I am a little disappointed. they don't seem much different then my regular hiking boots.
I’m sorry to hear that the toe box didn’t meet your expectations. We aim to provide a more natural fit, but it sounds like these might not have met your needs. If you’re open to it, our customer happiness team might be able to help you find a style with a more accommodating toe box. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to helping you find the right fit.
So so comfortable. I wear them all the time when I’m going to flee markets, thrifting, and hiking. I love the way they feel on my feet.
Wide toe boxes let your toes spread and relax. "Zero-drop" non-elevated heel for proper posture.
Our patented FeelTrue sole protects your foot while giving your brain the feedback and stimulation required.
Flexible soles let your foot bend and flex naturally. Low-to-the-ground design for balance and agility.
