Men's Xero Shoes Alpine Snow Boots - Black - Size 43

Shoveling the driveway at dawn or walking the dog on snow-packed trails, the Xero Shoes Alpine keeps your feet warm, dry, and nimble in freezing conditions. Built on Xero's signature zero-drop platform, this minimalist snow boot lets your foot flex and splay naturally, reducing fatigue and improving balance on slick surfaces. The water-resistant ballistic nylon upper shrugs off slush and snow, while 200g insulation and a fleece lining hold warmth down to -3.9°C (25°F). A 5.5mm FeelTrue® rubber lugged sole grips ice and packed snow without adding bulk, and the wide toe box gives toes room to spread for all-day comfort. Lace-up closure ensures a snug, adjustable fit, and the vegan-friendly construction aligns with conscious outdoor lifestyles.
