These are more on par with brand name rain boots. They are heavier than the Asgard rain boot linked above, but have more toe space and feel more durable/higher quality. They are uber flexible and have a better foot shape than any other adult minimalist rain boot currently available. We just need a tall version and a men’s version please! Oh, and how about yellow, navy blue, and red? 😀 Yes, there are some good compromise options out there (such as this Asgard rain boot) but no true barefoot rain boot for adults in the US – until now that is. Y’all, this has been the single most requested item from the barefoot shoe community for the past few years. Xero typically is high volume, so you get lots of space above the toes and the arch. The shape of the toe is rounded, so works well for Mountain or Plateau shaped feet (people with long 2nd and 3rd toes). Xero generally has an average to wide toe box width, and continues to be wide through the instep and heel. The stack heights listed under each shoe in this article are without the 2mm removable insole, and the prices are before the 20% off discount. All the shoes I tested are in women’s sizes, and all are true to size this season. Xero Shoes come in men’s and women’s size ranges, and men’s are slightly wider than women’s (otherwise the same). Also, all Xero shoes come with a 5,000 mile warranty so you don’t need to worry about wearing through them in a season.
This launch also brings an extended size range to women’s shoes – they now go up to a 12 (woot!), and lots of new colors added to popular models. These new changes are subtle and should make Xero more comfortable for more people – if you’ve already been loving and wearing Xero you likely will still be happy! If you’re new to this brand, check out my other Xero Shoes reviews for more details. These are the most comfortable Xero Shoes I’ve tried to date, and I’m pretty stoked! Besides the obvious (a rubber rain boot + non slip shoe!!) every model from this launch has a slightly wider forefoot and more flexible sole than before. Xero is in touch with what the barefoot shoe community wants, and has responded in a big way this season.
