These babies are field-tested! My husband and I have tried the new 2021 zero hiking boots for over 40 miles. How's that for running a product through its paces?We tested them out in the snow and they worked great as snow boots far better than my big clunky snow boots usually did, but we wanted to really run these through the wringer so we went to Sedona, Arizona to make sure we got some miles on these guys.Four and a half days, these hiking boots, the men's excursion fusion, and the women's daylight hiker fusion covered over 33 miles 8000 vertical feet!Get some Xero shoes for yourself here: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/XeroShoesNot convinced:?
