FAQs
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.

Great boot
I have purchased the prio and hfs in the past so I knew what to expect from the Xero brand: great ground feel, solid construction, zero drop, wide toe box. This boot didn’t disappoint. I’m not a hiker, but I am on my feet a lot in my profession and needed a new work boot. When trying to find minimalist boots on the internet that aren’t built for military but also don’t look like they are made for duck hunting, it feels like there are few options. Xero shoes provides those options. While the big name brands are trending to maximalist cushioned shoes and essentially placing a trampoline in the shoes with carbon plates, Xero lets your feet do the work like nature intended. Keep making great products Xero, I plan on running, jumping rope, doing calisthenics, going to work with your shoes as long as you make them. P.S. don’t bother buying cheap imitations on Amazon for 30 or 40 bucks, there is a reason for the cost differential and it’s in the construction and durability.
It's like my feet were made for these
I've had no more pain in my feet from pinch toes due to narrow toe boxes. It has the perfect "style" that lets me wear them daily in a variety of situations. I wish I had bought these years ago!
Felt more like conventional shoes
Unfortunately this is the first pair of xero shoes that I had to return. I became a xero shoes customer, because I fell in love with the flexibility and comfort of their shoes. But the DayLite Hiker Fusion feels more like conventional shoes: inflexible soles and very stiff throughout. I couldn't even exchange them for different size, since size wasn't an issue for me. They were just uncomfortable. I wore them for several hours around the house, but couldn't get used to them. I felt them around my feet constantly and was relieved to take them off. Not what I expected from shoes that are supposed to make your feet feel like you are wearing zero shoes.

Great light hiking shoes
These are my second pair of Xero’s, perfect shoes for light hiking trails or just everyday wear. They fit true to size, great quality and just super comfortable after wearing work boots all week long! Highly recommended.
Meh
Been wearing them 2 days. First issue, looks like the glue is already failing. Second, these are not 12's. They are small. If you are going tonorder these, order at a minimum half a size big. I would honestly say a full size to be safe. They are downright painful to wear.
Xero Shoes
We're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate your honest feedback. It’s definitely concerning that you're already noticing issues with the glue, and the sizing shouldn't be causing discomfort. We recommend reaching out to our customer happiness team to explore options for a return or exchange, as we want you to be comfortable and satisfied with your shoes. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to make it right for you!
