It too is pliable and not rigid, allowing your foot and ankle the mobility it needs to react naturally to irregular surfaces such as rocky trails. The upper is made of a breathable fabric that kept my feet cool. It comes with a removable insole, and the company recommends leaving the insole in if walking on hard surfaces or removing if walking on softer ground. The tread is a chevron pattern that I found provided ample traction on both hard surfaces (namely linoleum, hardwoods, and asphalt) as well as damp natural ground (dirt, rock outcroppings, and tree roots). The sole is a perfect thickness thin and very pliable (you can roll this shoe up into a cylinder shape) yet just thick enough to give some comfort. Like most minimalist shoes, these have a zero drop, meaning the heel is not higher than the toe of the shoe. Securing your instep (but not TOO much) can actually let your toes relax even more… experiment with the tension of these straps and see what you experience. This can also help keep your foot secure. You can tighten the laces going through those “inverted V” straps to cinch the boot around your instep. You can tighten or loosen the “huarache-inspired” heel strap to give a bit more (or less) support around your heel, which can hold your foot in place better.Īnd like the Prio, the DayLite Hiker has independently adjustable instep straps. They needed no break in period, and are so lightweight as to hardly be noticeable when worn. ![]() I got the chance to check out a pair of their Daylight Hikers, and let me say upfront: I love them! They are exactly what I had been looking for years ago.Ĭonstructed of a light, breathable fabric these hikers are amazingly comfortable right out of the box. Fast forward to today, and the company has expanded with many models of sandals, shoes, and hikers. I found a sandal that the founder of Xero Shoes created and was immediately intrigued. A number of years ago I was researching barefoot running and barefoot/minimalist style shoes. ![]() ![]() When I first saw the offerings from Xero Shoes, I knew I had to check them out. A fundamental part of intelligent behavior is planning. Planning is thinking about a goal and then organizing the activities to achieve the goal. With a plan, you can see how much you have progressed towards your goal and how far on your map to the next destination. ![]()
