Just steer clear of Xero, worthless garbage

Interesting. I've been putting serious mileage on a pair of Xeros. Soles are lasting way longer than my LEMs.

My experience: the entire shoe was floppy rubber with no support, and the promise of "100% waterproof" was a full on lie, for the initial pair I bought and for he replacement pair they sent.

I would give them props for customer support if they hadn't made me provide proof that the first pair of defective shoes had been destroyed before they sent me a second pair of defective shoes.

Well to wall crap
