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 11.1 ounces each for a Men’s 9, 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.

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’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.

Do you ship internationally?

We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

Very comfortable.

I've had these hikers for a couple of weeks now and walked in them mostly on smooth surfaces which has been great. The few uneven surfaces I've walked on were not too rough but enough to get a feel for how they would perform. It's nice to feel more connected to the ground you're walking over.

Fantastic

I have not worn these yet. But I have different pair I bought a few months back during a sale. Which are awesome. I wear them often, I highly recommend barefoot shoes. I have work boots I bought last year, a different brand and I love them. Barefoot is the way to go, atleast for me. Hip and foot pain gone.

Love them!

I absolutely love these boots. I wear them every day for work. This was actually a replacement for my second pair. They had a manufacturer defect and needed to return them.

Great shoe!

I bought these a few months back and wanted to wear them a while before writing a review. Originally, I wanted a heavier duty shoe/hiker for actual hiking and these are perfect. So much so I now wear them as my everyday shoe. I have been wearing them almost everyday for 4 months and have no issues at all. I love the fact that they are sturdy but still no arch and can feel the ground while I hike and walk. I would Definity buy again and recommend them.

Xero boots

The first pair of these I purchased ended up being duds and the sole started separating from the toe almost immediately. Xero was great and replaced them; new boots seem to be holding up much better. They are, as I have come to expect from Xero shoes, extremely comfortable and I wear them for 10+ hour shifts at work. As far as water resistance goes, I used a fabric waterproof spray on these before I wore them the first time and they withstand wet/dewy grass and splashes just fine. They will eventually soak through if exposed to water or snow for long periods of time, but for most purposes they are fine. If you're on the fence about these, try them!
