Product Description

“The Alpine overall is an amazing boot for the cold. ” – Jason N.

Enjoy that crisp winter weather in the Alpine – your fully-waterproof, lightweight, minimalist snow boot

Now you don’t need to sacrifice comfort and natural movement when the temperature starts to fall and snow is in the air (and on the ground).

Alpine Introduction

Waterproof, cozy, and warm!

The Alpine keeps the wet out with a fully seam-sealed inner bootie and a water-resistant membrane in the boot’s upper.

The insulated polyester fleece lining keeps those piggies nice and warm. And a heat-reflective insole adds to the winter-friendly comfort. And, yes, you can remove the insole for an even more “barefoot” feeling.

The Alpine has 200g insulation, rated to -32°C/-25°F, so they should keep your feet warm no matter where your adventures take you.

Lightweight and grippy

A men’s 42 weighs just 411 grams each, a luggy tread gives you sure-footed traction, and a flexible, non-elevated (zero-drop) sole lets your foot move naturally.

Plus, the Alpine is made from 100% vegan-friendly materials.

Whether you wear the Alpine for a romp in the snow or after you slip off your ski boots, remember…

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from using your feet naturally.

That’s what Xero Shoes let you do.

Natural Fit. Natural Motion. Natural Feel.

Plus Xero Shoes are backed with a 5,000-mile sole warranty.

Caring for your Xero Shoes

To clean your Xero Shoes, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry.
We do not recommend putting your Xeros in the washing machine or dryer.

Does the Alpine work well with snowshoes?

The answer is YES! The Alpine is a great boot to pair with snowshoes, especially with the zero-drop, FeelTrue® rubber soles for a low center of gravity. Most snowshoes secure the boots with straps that go over the toes, instep, and around the heel, and will work just fine with the Alpine. And with our 200g insulation, rated to -25°/-32°C, and the fully seam-sealed, water-resistant inner bootie, your feet should stay warm and toasty while you’re hiking!

What’s the cold weather rating for the Alpine?

Unlike, say, sleeping bags, there’s no accurate temperature rating system for shoes. How a shoe handles the cold (or, rather, how a person handles the cold in a shoe) depends on factors beyond air temperature, including: ground temperature, humidity, blood circulation in your feet, foot mobility (the more you move, the warmer you might feel) and, of course, the socks you’re wearing (or not wearing, as the case may be).

The short answer is, the Alpine has 200g insulation, rated to -32°C/-25°F.

With the seam sealed bootie, heat-reflecting insole, insulated synthetic lining, and lugged sole, we’re giving you a cozy natural movement option for staying warm in the cold.

Excellent for colder weathers

The sole is a bit stiffer but then again, this is a shoe for colder weather so one does not expect a thin bottom. Nevertheless, it still is a barefoot shoe. I found men's shoes width better than women's. For me, I find these shoes warm up to at least -12 C (10,2 F). I like how weather worthy these shoes are and they repel wetter conditions well (even though they are not waterproof).

Warm, but incredibly slippery and dangerous

These shoes were a definite disappointment. In them, I was slipping and sliding much more than my peers in comparable winter shoes. The shoes are slippery even on packed snow, which is usually not slippery at all, not to mention ice. Definitely not recommended if you have any snow or ice.

The bottom is sketchy

Hi loved ones, I love their comfort, how they fit around the foot is absolutely amazing. They aren't as warm though. And that is a huge thing during winter. I haven't even walked with them in deep snow, but for a shoe like this, I atleast expect it to be warm and nothing less in doing so. I really love its design too, and ties very easily. But the sool, bottom of the shoe.. that is just dangerous! I walk quite a bit in forests, and I 'd like to get over, under and trough every terrain. But the sool just slips immediatly when you step on something with a bit of a wet surface. For survival, this is not the shoe I would feel safe, and get to safety in. Takes away alot of hiking fun too.. For the price, and marketing being a winter hiking boot; it definetely does not fit nearly to the top of that category. But a rubber bottom, and that warm stuff also layered within the shoe itself, would make a drastic change! I would live to see this happening! Then It'll become a 5 star boot, garanteed! Lots of love <3 Honest lover of feet
