Xero Scrambler Low WP Hiking Shoe - Men's Driftwood/Asphalt, 11.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the Scrambler Low WP through a wet morning hike with stream crossings and the XeroTex membrane kept my feet completely dry while the moisture-wicking liner prevented that clammy buildup you get with lesser waterproof shoes. The large lug outsole gripped well on wet rock and the wide toe box made the long descent feel easy on my feet compared to more traditional hiking shoes.""Wet trails have a way of ending hikes early for people wearing the wrong shoes. The Xero Scrambler Low WP Hiking Shoe is built to keep that from happening, pairing XeroTex waterproof membrane protection with a barefoot inspired construction that keeps feet natural, comfortable, and moving freely through whatever the trail throws down. The ripstop upper with welded overlays resists abrasion and debris while staying lightweight and flexible underfoot, and the gusseted tongue works alongside the waterproof membrane to seal out water and trail grit from every angle. Large lug rubber underfoot bites into wet rock, mud, and loose terrain with the kind of confident traction that lets you stay focused on the line ahead rather than your next footfall. A wide foot-shaped toe box and zero drop heel keep natural posture intact through long days on the trail, and at just 9. 8 ounces the Scrambler Low WP disappears on your foot in a way that most waterproof hiking shoes simply cannot manage."
