In Michigan, testing my product review sample from Xero was going to be a little tough. My husband and I decided to go on a five-mile hike in the snow on a 10 day. I was really nervous that the boots wouldn't be warm enough for me, because I'm pretty wimpy when it comes to cold feet!I wore two pairs of socks, one of them wool, and I actually kept getting too hot and taking off my hat! Even though we had to step off the path to let fat tire bikers go by a number of times, my feet never got wet, so for snow, water-resistant is good enough.I said after that day that the boots felt like a warm hug, and I'm also struck by the fact that I didn't really have to break them in, so to speak.
