The Model
Xero Shoes Gracie: waterproof rain boot made from closed material, minimalist cut, with a slip-resistant sole for wet surfaces. Available starting at EU size 35.5, making it suitable for older children as well.
What distinguishes rain boots from membrane models
The Gracie is made of closed material, making it inherently waterproof – without a membrane. This makes it unbeatable in standing water, deep mud, and persistent rain, though it is less breathable than a shoe with a membrane. It is the right choice for gardening, walking the dog, and short trips in the rain; those who wear the shoe for many hours at a time are better served by a membrane model. You can find both types in our waterproof barefoot shoes collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Gracie fit? Compare your foot length, measured while standing, with the size chart on the product page. With rain boots, it is worth planning for a little extra room for thicker socks.
Can I wear thick socks underneath? Yes, and it is necessary in cold weather – the Gracie is not lined. If water runs in from the top over the shaft edge, waterproof socks from Sealskinz provide additional protection.
How do I care for the boot? Rinse off dirt and let it air dry. Do not place it on a heater or put it in the dryer – heat makes the material brittle over time.
