Xero Shoes’ Top 3 Minimal Boots for Cool Weather

Cooler weather is finally here and it’s time to swap out your sandals for comfy, warm boots. Instead of turning to clunky boots that are hard to pack for fall travel or office wardrobe changes, or boots that pinch your toes together, Xero Shoes’ barefoot-inspired casual boots are designed with a wide toe box and minimal sole, allowing your feet to move, bend, and flex naturally. Who says you can’t FEEL like you’re barefoot after the summertime?

 Research shows that just walking in minimalist shoes strengthens foot muscles as much as doing a foot-strengthening exercise program. If you struggle with plantar fasciitis, bunions, or just uncomfortable feet, Xero Shoes’ lightweight, comfortable fall boots are a great pick!

WOMEN’S LEATHER BOOTS FOR LOOKING STYLISH

Tari Women’s Leather Boot

The adjustable heel wrap helps stabilize your foot, and the flexible and durable FeelTrue® sole is lightweight at just 9.6 ounces each (W7).
