Which Xero Shoes can I use these with?
Lock Laces® work great with our Prio, TerraFlex, and DayLite Hiker. You could use them with the Hana and Lena, but the effect won’t be as noticeable.
What do those straps do?
Like all our shoes, the DayLite Hiker has a “huarache-inspired” heel strap. You can tighten or loosen that to give a bit more (or less) support around your heel, which can hold your foot in place better. And like the Prio, the DayLite Hiker has independently adjustable instep straps. You can tighten the laces going […]
What’s different between the Men’s and Women’s DayLite Hiker?
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 […]
How do I find my DayLite Hiker Size?
Sizing, as you’ve probably experienced, is different between brands. You may wear a 42 from one company and then anything between an 41 and 43 from another company. Luckily, if the size you get is incorrect, we do offer exchanges for our shoes. In Men’s sizes, the DayLite Hiker Fusion runs fairly true to size, […]
Is the DayLite Hiker Waterproof?
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.
What can I do in the Prio?
Practically anything. The Prio is our first “performance” shoe. It’s great road running, light trail running, walking, hiking, working out, Crossfit, biking, slacklining… it’s obviously up to you. Once you get them on, I’m sure you’ll do things we never thought of (and we want to see pictures of that!). Put on your Prio and […]
What do I do with those straps on the Prio?
I’ll admit, this is one of my favorite things about the Prio. The huarache-sandal inspired heel strap can be used to hold your heel and ankle in place. Pull the straps through the ankle holes in the sole, and then lock them in place with the laces. The instep straps can be used to secure […]
Is the Prio Waterproof?
It’s not. But the breathable mesh upper should help it dry quickly if you get them wet.
How do I care for my Lenas?
You can wash them with a mild soap and water mixture. The canvas is quite durable, and should come clean easily with a little scrubbing. DO NOT place your Lena in the dryer when you are finished cleaning, let them air dry.
Why do my Lenas suddenly feel looser?
The canvas upper of the Lena can stretch a little bit. Most people find this more comfortable as it happens. You should be able to adjust the lacing to feel snug around your midfoot and let your toes be free.
