Barefoot hiking means feeling the terrain directly, instead of losing it under thick cushioning. Xero hiking shoes have a thin, flexible sole, a wide toe box, and zero drop – plus a grippy lug sole for traction on trails, rocks, and roots. Models with "Waterproof" or "WP" in the name also have a waterproof membrane.
- Mesa Trail II & Mesa Trail WP: flat and agile – the WP is waterproof for wet paths
- Scrambler Low EV & Scrambler Trail Low Waterproof: low-cut for dry or changeable tours
- Scrambler Mid II Waterproof & Scrambler Trail Mid Waterproof: ankle-high and waterproof – more support on challenging terrain
- Z-Trail EV & D-Trail: the lightweight trail sandals for warm days
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you hike in barefoot shoes? Yes – the grippy lug sole provides traction, and the flexible design allows the foot to roll naturally. The important thing is to transition gradually: start with shorter tours and increase the distance.
Low-cut or ankle-high? Low-cut models are lighter and more agile, while ankle-high (Mid) models provide more support on rough terrain. For mixed trails, the low-cut version is usually sufficient.
