Product Description

“WOW! What can I say about this upgrade?
The new style is just awesome.” – Craig C.

With its new lightweight, abrasion-resistant welded upper and grippier lugged sole, the Daylite Hiker Fusion is perfect for those hikes when a technical boot is more than you need.

WHAT’S NEW ABOUT THE DAYLITE HIKER FUSION?

PROTECTION THAT FEELS JUST RIGHT.

The Daylite Hiker Fusion features a new 10mm FeelTrue® sole that includes a 3.5mm lugged dual chevron tread that has been re-designed to provide even more grip and control without sacrificing the ground feel and feedback you’d expect from Xero Shoes.

IMPROVED COMFORT AND DURABILITY.

We’ve tucked our Huarache-inspired tension straps under a sleek new welded upper so you can achieve a snug fit with even more splash and abrasion-resistance. At just 315 grams each for a Men’s 42, the Daylite Hiker Fusion remains the perfect hiking boot for everyday adventures.

A FRESH, UPDATED LOOK.

Available in black and a subtle, earthy brown, the new Daylite Hiker is a minimalist hiking boot that is stylish enough to pair with just about any casual or work attire, so you can wear it both on and off the trail.

WE MAKE BOOTS SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Daylite Hiker Fusion.

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.

All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and safely Feel the World® in total comfort.

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 a man with a very thin foot, or a women with a wide foot, you may want to try the “other” style.

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.

Ouch!

The bad grading is not about the boots, which look good. I can tell because I'm a fellow user of Xero shoes since the early days of the brand. Problem is, I bought (on a clearance sale) a pair of men's 44s from the EU shop. What I received was a consistent shoebox that contained a women's 41.5! I only realized the issue as my son came back from a walk in the woods, he complained about the boots being awfully short and narrow (he's a 42/43). Being used, I could not sent them back. Such a disappointment!

pretty good, surprisingly comfortable

I wear these hiking or just walking the dog. After over a year the soles are in great condition but the fabric has a couple of holes, I hoped they'd be a bit tougher than that but maybe I was just unlucky, I'd guess it was damage from brambles or rocks. The surprising thing was that there was no adjustment phase, I found them comfortable from day one. Would I buy another pair, or something similar from Xero? Yes, certainly.

Comfortable but not very good quality

Shoes are very lightweight and comfortable, but they lack quality. Sole was worn after 1 season. I walked them for estimate 800km. 5000 miles warranty does not work, since they don't have the same size on stock (in any color).

quality is disastrous

The shoes themselves are really good. But the quality is disastrous. They are extremely slippery when wet. The sole wears out extremely quickly. Seams in the forefoot area are coming apart and the sole is peeling off all around. I walk my dog a lot but not extremely much either. I had the shoes replaced 5 times and finally got the money refunded. So one star for the very good service. But the first defects usually appear after a few days to weeks with less than 50 km of mileage. If the shoes were of a certain quality I would like to continue shopping at Xero, but unfortunately that doesn't make sense.
