Zero Drop Meets Winter Boot
UPDATE APRIL 2025 After a full winter of heavy use I found the boots are comfortable, warm, and easy to walk long distances in. They are water resistant but not waterproof in standing water. If you need a good zero drop winter boot these are it unless you need 100% waterproof.UPDATE DECEMBER 2024 First use today for nearly two hours in 12 inches of wet snow blowing the driveway. My pants got very wet but my feet stayed dry and warm. They stretched a bit and fit even roomier in the toebox as I expected they would. Traction was excellent on snow, ice, and mix of both. They are light as a feather and easy to get around in. Very stable and comfortable zero drop platform as I had hoped. I am very happy with these boots!I ordered my usual shoe size 11 (44 EU) and the boots fit as expected. They are comfortable, flexible, and easy to walk in. The toebox is about the same width as my other barefoot shoes so I am happy with that. Putting them on and taking them off is a breeze with the quick laces. These would actually make for a good year around work boot if someone wanted to use them as such. I'm thinking these boots will be plenty warm come winter here in Michigan. Maybe I'll give an update after the snow starts flying.

High quality warm comfortable winter shoe.
Bought for snow skateboarding and winter Onewheel riding. Turned into my everything winter shoe. Very high quality and if anything they are too warm.I like these because I can feel my board better than traditional boots. I use these on the slopes and my feet are warmer in these than in snowboard boots. Comfortable for work and play. No signs of falling apart and I do not baby my gear.Pricey but definitely worth it. You can buy lower quality and replace twice a year or buy these which I expect to hold up a long time. I'm thinking about getting another pair because whenever I find gear I like the manufacturer changes the design or material.Only problem is I wore them without socks a couple times and my foot eventually pulled the sole apart while taking off the shoe. My skin would grab the top part of the sole while the bottom part of the sole was still stuck to the bottom of the shoe causing it to pull apart. I contacted Xero and they sent me replacements for free. Wearing socks solves this rubbing problem and the soles are not necessary but I like them in.Very satisfied. I recommended and will most likely buy again.

Keeps your feet warm and cozy!
After trying on a bunch of snow shoes, this was by far my favorite since it gave enough room for my wide feet and did it all with a zero drop sole. My feet thanks Xero for this awesome snow shoe. We recently had a snow storm and I shoveled my entire driveway in these and my feet remained dry, warm and cozy through the whole thing!

Late winter tested = Perfect!
I tried two other brands (Keen, Vivobarefoot) and was about to give up finding an insulated waterPROOF, VEGAN (Keen. What a nightmare), barefoot winter boot (Vivobarefoot, not at all insulated). I've been in barefoot shoes for over a decade and every winter... forced into outdoor vegan, HEAVY, binding, traditional boots. This year I once again looked for vegan options. This boot is truly insulated! I've walked in city sleet, snow, and an early spring squall. My water 'repellent' coat caved and I arrived home soggy EXCEPT my feet. Warm and dry. Most of all enjoying barefoot comfort. I look forward to being a long term customer of Xero Shoes!I will also point out I bought men's as they tend to be wider and I have wide feet and like to layer socks when the temps drop into the teens. I don't know how wide women's boots are but it's my experience they are too narrow for me. If you have wide feet and plan to layer sock you may want to contact Xero before you order or buy men's.

Head and Shoulders Better
After ordering and returning two other cheaper brand zero drop boots, I decided to spend more and get these. You really get what you pay for. The Xero winter boots are far more foot fitting, stable and warm. Some reviews mention detaching soles. So far so good. This is my 3rd pair of Xero shoes/boots and I'm now a true believer in thebrand.

Comfortable.
These boots are not waterproof, but they are plenty warm on cold, dry days. I use a thin foot pad as additional insulation and cushioning.Since I have been wearing these, my foot pain is virtually non-existent.
