Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Xcursion Fusion

great fit and size. feels like a glove and no need to break in. great shoes! hiked grand canyon first time wearing them. perfect.

I love these shoes for fall hikes on harsh (gravel and sharp-ish rocks). I am used to hiking in vibram five fingers and I love them. However, I couldn't use those in areas of the hike where brambly poky things stuck out of the ground in late winter. I needed something that I would be minimalist, zero drop but not make me feel EVERYTHING underfoot. This was just the right shoe for it. I also love the fact that it has some ankle support. With this brand, it looks like you need to size up by a whole size. Now, I want a similar shoe for hot weather.. I wonder if xero makes those as well.

I love these hikers! I wear them on my daily walks this time of year. I removed the liner and inserted my own that has good support for my high arches, hence, I needed the next ½ size up. There is plenty of room for my toes to spread out and feel the types of surfaces I'm walking over, and my overall leg and back health have improved since wearing these. Added bonuses are dry feet, lightweight and attractive shoes!

This is my second pair and I love them. The negative heel is wonderfully comfortable and I like a boot that protects the edges of your feet, but makes the muscles in your feet work at the same time. The only negative is they can't make a boot this good without it being a bit homely, but that's okay, they're not made for a fashion statement!

I had high hopes for this to be a rain proof walking/hiking boot and it may be all of those things except the heel is quite wide and rubbed a blister after I walked around the house for 30 minutes. Well made and attractive--the toe box is wide which I need but the heel was just too wide for me. I did size up 1/2 size and that was wise advice.

I am usually a size 5 to 5.5 in shoes, but in Zero shoes I needed to go 6.5, because I plan to wear regular athletic socks which are slightly thick and wanted to have wiggle room and not be tight. 6.5 fits well leaving room ahead of the toes. This is important if you plan to use it for hike, elevation, downhill, etc. or long walks.

So nice and lightweight, but lowkey supportive! I have flat feet and bad knees. Took these shoes out for a big city hike, that included a million stairs on the second time I wore them and they did great! No foot, ankle, or knee pain. It’s nice to have a structured show that doesn’t restrict or try to correct your foot.

I cannot say enough good things about these shoes! I had an older, bulky, ankle high boot to hike in that I never liked. We were about to embark on a 2 week RV trip in CO, WY, ND, and MT. I needed better shoes and fast! After reading reviews I took a total risk on this boot and on Day 1 I fell in love. There was no breaking them in. Super comfy from the get go. I sized up a half size like I always do in shoes I will exercise or hike in. Size 9 was perfect. The low profile allowed me to truly feel the ground and the rocks where I was stepping. I felt more stable than ever - and that says a lot since my 45 yr old self gets a little dizzy at higher elevations. I kept up with my boys and could have kept on walking every single day. Love, love, love these shoes! Can't wait to hike again!

Perfect right out of the box. Day 1- Wore them to the airport, traveled, upon arrival to my destination hiked, kayaked, dinner out, chilled. These boots looked & felt great with every step. Just the right amount of protection, legs felt great, no hot spots on my feet. Im blown away.

We just took a cross country trip studying the Global Flood (Noah) starting at the ark in Kentucky. I did not break these boots in and was crawling all over different landscapes, LOVE THEM.

I put arch support in them and wore them every day on our 18-day african safari. loved how light they are

I wore these for the first time on a 5-mile hike, and they felt fantastic, no real need to break in. The next day I went about 3 miles. By the end, my arches and calves were more tired than normal, but I think it was more the posture than the shoe itself (in a good way). Ive been wearing Prios around town for a while now, but this was my first hike with a Xero shoe. I think it takes time to get used to using different muscles.

Wore them for the first time today on a 7 mile hike. Got a blister on my right heel .. they were comfy, definitely waterproof and plenty of room. My feet feel great. Ill def wear thicker hiking socks next time.

Very comfortable! Im so excited to have a pair of hiking boots that allow me to naturally use my feet the way they were meant to and also support my ankles. The perfect hiker for everyone!!!

I am a big fan of Xero shoes - this is my 4th pair. As waterproof hiking boots, these were a lot more narrow and stiff than the other walking/running shoes I have from Xero. I had to get a full size larger to get the same toe room I have in my other Xeros. I’m good with the fit now, although the ankles are stiffer than I would like. That’s probably by design, and I can tell that I will be able to break them in, no problem. I’m just happy to have a roomy, waterproof, zero drop hiking boot. There aren’t many of those out there.

I love Xero shoes. Currently own 10 pairs. These did not disappoint. Completely water proof, extremely comfortable. Get yours today, you wont regret it.

These are my favorite boots of all time. Flexible, light, nice and wide (I have short wide feet and the first xcursions were too narrow but these are great!) . I wore them to the Oregon coast and dunked them in a pool of bubbling wet sand and they came out clean and dry. Crazy. So comfortable for hiking. Walking on sharp rocks is no problem. And theyre pretty.

I LOVE these shoes!! Just finished five days of backpacking in Big Bend State Park with these boots. After only one three mile hike to break them in, I took these on some of the most rugged trails in Big Bend - sometimes gaining 2,000+ ft of elevation in a day with a pack weighing 65 lbs on day one. (Sidenote: water weighs SO much!!) I've done a fair amount of backpacking, and this is the first time ever that my feet were so comfortable that I forgot I had boots on. No swelling feet, no excessive sweating (in 90+ degree weather), no blisters. These will be my go-to backpacking boots from here on out.

The Xcursion Fusion fixed my pet peeve with the original Xcursions. There are no more straps that can break! These are completely waterproof, lightweight and extremely comfortable even after hours of hiking. I suggest sizing 1/2 size up. I guarantee you will not regret buying this shoe!

i LOOOOVE these shoes!! needed something waterproof to handle big puddles mud rock snow ice and rugged woodland terrain - the xcursion fusion is perfect! these are seriously the most comfortable pair of shoes i have ever had, and that's with a lifetime of questing the most healthy shoes out there... they look as awesome as they feel too, the design is supreme in every way - thank you xero shoes for creating such amazing innovative gear, these totally blew me away and i am ecstatic to have gotten a pair+++ i'm a womens 8.5 and ordered a 9 as recommended and they fit perfect, super comfortable with one or two pairs of socks too - i'm hooked for life!!!

I get plantar fasciitis but find minimalist footwear works best for me - especially after several years of working from home and being shoeless 90% of the time. I normally wear a women's size 8W, so ordered a women's 8.5. It fit almost perfectly but was still just a bit too snug across the widest part of my foot to keep. Xero's site suggests women who wear a wide size try a men's boot/shoe instead. So, I returned these and ordered the men's 6.5. The width is perfect, but they feel a tad bit bigger in the toe box and length. Not enough of a problem for me to return them, but I'm not in love the way I was when I first slipped on the women's boot. I'll see how they feel after hiking a few miles in them.

I ordered a half size larger as suggested and that helped, however I’d taken a chance since I have a wide foot and these did not come in wide sizes. Too snug so they’re being returned. After visiting the Xero site, took their advise and ordered the comparable mens size. Hoping that does the trick because they felt great out of the box except for my “paddle feet”!

Hoping these high top shoes will alleviate my tendency to twist my ankles while hiking. Definitely size up. Zappos suggested a 5 for me based on my purchase history. I ordered a 6 but ended up returning them for 6.5. Doesn’t look bulky so feel good about sizing up as needed.

Would have liked these shoes, but both of them rubbed my little toes. I did order a half size larger as recommended. Going to return them.

I ordered a half size larger and the fit was good in length. I had hoped the larger size would indeed be wider but it was not. These did not feel wider than typical but that's my foot. I usually wear mens Merrell Vapor Glove for the width. I will try the mens Xero for a wider fit. Fingers crossed.
