Xero Shoes Daylite hiker - men

The new version of the DayLite Hiker is improved version of the original: more grip with a lugged chevron tread – (4.5mm FeelTrue® sole base plus 3.5mm lugs), more durable, abrasion resistant upper mesh and wet/dry friendly side “foxing”. Please note that these shoes are not water resistant.

Most summer hikes don’t need a big, heavy, technical hiking boot.

And most hiking boots don’t let your foot bend, move, flex and feel the world… until the DayLite Hiker.

Perfect for day hikes and casual wear, the DayLite Hiker is built with our foot-first design and natural movement philosophy.
