SOLE
The 0-drop soles are in the thicker range to be a “barefoot shoe”, but they feel more flexible than the look testifies.

The Michelin soles is 5.5 mm with a 3 mm construction layer and 4 mm TrailFoam™ for extra comfort, the mountain bike tire inspired lugs are 3 mm. The removable insoles are 3,5 mm thick.
The sole don’t feel stiff, rather a bit padded.

SIZING
Often Xeros shoes are more narrow in wmn´s versions. For waterproof hiking boots Ridgeway I took wmn size 39.5 and it was perfect so I did the same with Scrambler Mid II but they have a more narrow fit so if you have wider feet and have the opportunity to choose men´s version it’s probably the better option.

If you are wide between the balls note that the construction and material don’t allow stretch in that area.
The available sizes are:
Men: EU 39.5-48, US:6.5-15
Woman: EU 36.5 – 42.5, US 5-12

WEIGHT
They feel very light! Around 300 g depending on size. Comparing to conventional hiking boots it’s very light and they do feel light on the feet.

The upper is made of mesh and feel breathable. The boots are not labelled as waterproof and the upside is that they probably will dry faster. By mistake I stepped into water but the feet surprisingly stayed dry so the seems to resist the first wet.
Front eyelets for gaiters (or pants with hook).
