Xero Shoes  Scrambler Trail Mid WP Hiking Boots - Men's

Note: I wear a 9.5 xero Denver boot and found I needed a 10 in this for a similar fit. Once I got the size right, I took these out on some lakeside trails to test them on rocks and mud. They’re so light, so comfortable, and so waterproof. Level of padding in the sole is exactly where I wanted it. Feels like a barefoot shoe, but sharp rocks don’t hurt to step on. Couldn’t make a better shoe

The Xero Shoes Scrambler Trail Mid WP is one of the most comfortable hiking boots I’ve worn. They’re super lightweight, flexible, and feel more natural than bulky traditional boots. The wide toe box gives your feet room to move, and the zero-drop design makes walking feel smooth and balanced. They also hold up well on the trail—great grip, solid durability, and the waterproofing actually works without making your feet feel suffocated. If you want a boot that feels light, natural, and still tough enough for real hikes, these are an easy win.

Had these about a month. Needed half a size up from my normal. Never had to break them in. Fit great from the get go. Super waterproof and dry out quicker than other waterproof boots. Did 20 miles with 3500 feet of elevation gain/loss on a hot day, not so much as a blister (normally I’m prone to get a few hotspots after 5 miles in other shoes and boots). Pairs well with a low/mid weight wool sock. Could grip rocks a bit better, but so could most boots.

New to this brand and model. Reviews suggested going up a size for ordinary, which I did and they were right in my case. I am a walker and typcially use more running shoe than boot. Wanted the 'waterproof' feature. So far, so good. My feet are still adjusting, but they seem to be well made, comfortable, etc. Thus far I am pretty impressed. Have been a Vivobarefoot, Altra, Topo wearer for yrs.

Bought these for my son and he loves them. He said they were a little smaller than his typical size in the zero sneakers, but not enough they were uncomfortable.
