“The perfect balance between cozy and lightweight.” – Rhylee C.

Enjoy that crisp winter weather in the Alpine – your fully-waterproof, lightweight, minimalist snow boot

Now you don’t need to sacrifice comfort and natural movement when the temperature starts to fall and snow is in the air (and on the ground).

Waterproof, cozy, and warm!

The Alpine keeps the wet out with a fully seam-sealed inner bootie and a waterproof membrane in the boot’s upper.

The insulated polyester fleece lining keeps those piggies nice and warm. And a heat-reflective insole adds to the winter-friendly comfort. And, yes, you can remove the insole for an even more “barefoot” feeling.

The Alpine has 200g of insulation so they should keep your feet warm no matter where your adventures take you.

Lightweight and grippy

A women’s 7 weighs just 12.2 ounces each, a luggy tread gives you sure-footed traction, and a flexible, non-elevated (zero-drop) sole lets your foot move naturally.

Plus, the Alpine is made from 100% vegan-friendly materials.

Whether you wear the Alpine for a romp in the snow or after you slip off your ski boots, remember…

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from using your feet naturally.

That’s what Xero Shoes let you do.

Natural Fit. Natural Motion. Natural Feel.

Plus Xero Shoes are backed with a 5,000-mile sole warranty.

Caring for your Alpines

To clean your Alpines, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting the Alpine in the washing machine or dryer.

Does the Alpine work well with snowshoes?

The answer is YES! The Alpine is a great boot to pair with snowshoes, especially with the zero-drop, FeelTrue® rubber soles for a low center of gravity. Most snowshoes secure the boots with straps that go over the toes, instep, and around the heel, and will work just fine with the Alpine. And with our 200g insulation, rated to -25°/-32°C, and the fully seam-sealed, water-resistant inner bootie, your feet should stay warm and toasty while you’re hiking!

What’s the cold weather rating for the Alpine?

Unlike, say, sleeping bags, there’s no accurate temperature rating system for shoes. How a shoe handles the cold (or, rather, how a person handles the cold in a shoe) depends on factors beyond air temperature, including: ground temperature, humidity, blood circulation in your feet, foot mobility (the more you move, the warmer you might feel) and, of course, the socks you’re wearing (or not wearing, as the case may be).

The short answer is, the Alpine has 200g insulation, rated to -25°/-32°C.

With the seam sealed bootie, heat-reflecting insole, insulated synthetic lining, and lugged sole, we’re giving you a cozy natural movement option for staying warm in the cold.

Do you ship internationally?

We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

Seem Great! Just need some snow to test them out

I bought these toward the end of the winter season and haven't gotten to test them in the snow yet, but they fit great and are very comfortable.

Frustrated by the quality

This is a frustrating review to write because I’ve REALLY enjoyed wearing these boots—they’re comfortable, warm, and initially they looked great. However, with less than 4 months of wear, the back of both boots has torn. Frankly, I can and will sew them up myself because I can’t afford to buy new boots every season. But on top of that, I discovered quickly and to my displeasure that they’re not waterproof and I would hardly even call them water-resistant. We’ve had a mild winter in Ontario and if I wear them in any rain or wet snow, my feet are wet within15 minutes. And this after I additionally hit them with a waterproofing spray. I’m resigned to having wet feet—it seems no barefoot company has been able to design a winter boot that is durable and waterproof. I would personally advertise these boots to someone as an autumn/ spring cool weather hiking boot for primarily dry conditions. For context, prior to switching to barefoot shoes, I often wore Blundstone boots 3-4 seasons of the year, and both pairs I had lasted over three years. This is my expectation for a shoe I have to pay over 200$ for after the US to Cad conversion, shipping, and duties.

Comfy, functional, and stylish

My girlfriend wore these boots on our recent trip to Canada and they were able to keep our feet dry and warm in snowy conditions. They appear to be durable and we will be using our Alpine boots hopefully for years to come!
