I've purchased multiple Xeros that were all junk and fell apart. I kept buying them because there weren't other good options, and even though they fell apart, they did fit me. I purchased the Scrambler last October, and it's a great pair of shoes. Clearly manufactured to much higher standards.
We are happy to hear that you are enjoying your Scrambler's! That said, we're sorry that you had issues with your previous shoes. If you haven't already, we recommend reaching out to our support team at support@xeroshoes.com and they can assist you with those under our 24 Month Manufacturing Warranty.
AAAAUUUUGGGHHH!!! I love your shoes so much! I have Xcursion and Mesa Trail; I want to buy a pair of all of them. Just feeling my feet flex when I'm walking feels so good; each step is like therapy. I think the Scrambler Low might be next on my list. I love the Mesa Trail, and I'm hoping this one is kind of like the Mesa Trail. The tread is starting to wear down a little on the stacks. I know its customary for businesses to thank their customers, but as a customer, I want to thank you for making the best shoes in the world! Steve, you're doing a great job presenting these shoes, still. You're my foot and shoe hero!
Okay, the 5000 mile sole sold me. On my second pair of Altra's and the heel is gone in less than 300 miles. A daily four mile walker up and down hills with the K9.
The Altras have a bit of velcro on the back of the heel for keeping the gator down over your shoe. Can you please check that out and add it to your shoes. Thanks, then they will be perfect.
Personally Im a Luna sandal and cheap Amazon barefoot shoe person...and when I think if xero I think of their original shoes not so good looking but this is the shoe Ive been waiting/looking for
my gym is going to the park and tyring to kick the shell off of the ball (soccer+nrl ball). Are there any barefoot/wide-toe ones that can tolerate that kind of constant impact? I'm too old to want to squish my toes in a sport specific cleat and even with a solid feeling wide flat shoe the glue eventually fails (and when regluing the she usually end up with lumps underfoot), a couple of times they just completely fall apart at the seams. Cheers from shuan.
We currently don't have a soccer style, however something like our TerraFlex II might work. They have a highly abrasion resistant mesh upper and a durable toe bumper for extra protection against wear and tear. They will also have a lugged sole, which can help with traction on grass/turf.
Our Scrambler Mid/Low will have smaller lugs designed after mountain bike tread whereas our Mesa Trail and TerraFlex will have larger lugs in our dual chevron pattern similar to our other performance styles such as the Prio.
Good review, thanks. I really like these. If you’re in your 60s do you think your joints and soft tissue are too used to standard trainers for walking and running?
There definitely can be a transition period into minimalist shoes like ours, so we always recommend taking it slow and giving your body and feet ample time to adapt and strengthen up before going on longer walks or runs. We have a ton of useful information for people in transition in our blogs here: xeroshoes.com/blog/. You can also reach out to our support team at support@xeroshoes.com and they can point you to some useful info as well.
While we do not currently ship to Hong Kong, you may want to look into the following courier services that may be able to forward packages to your location: www.shipito.com/ www.bonvu.com/ We now have a few styles available on Amazon. Also, many of our international customers ship their shoes to friends or family in the US, UK, or Australia who will be visiting soon.
Hello, Steven. Are the Scrambler Low shoes good for transitioning from conventional footwear to wide-toe-box zero-drop does? I regularly wear crocs at home, so I have some limited experience with wide-toe-box zero-drop footwear, but the crocs also have slight arch support. Would the Scrambler Low shoes be good for me transitioning to Xero Shoes' shoes or would you recommend one of your other models?
The Scrambler Low would make for a good transition shoe especially if hiking, trail running, or off-roading is going to be a more primary focus. These can also be worn as everyday shoes. Other styles we typically recommend for transitioning will be our Prio or our HFS II. These styles will be suited for all around performance.
The Scrambler Low will be a more technical shoe with smaller grippier lugs. They are are meant to keep you moving fast through various conditions, so they also include a gaiter hook for greater element-proofing if needed. Both will make great trail shoes, but the Scrambler Low will be made to handle a bit more intensity when you really need it.
I left a comment in another video, but would these be a good pair to use to play sports like soccer on artificial grass/turf? I tried to play soccer with the Aqua X Sport; although it felt amazing, they completely came apart - the strap and the lace (which I replaced with normal laces). I can see these as a viable option for sports on turf!
We haven't heard a ton of feedback in regards to this, however we have had customers who wore the TerraFlex II for this purpose more casually. If you happen to try these out for soccer, we would love to hear about how they work!
That appears to be a solid pick to use for soccer. I would say the same for the Scrambler Lows as well as the Mesa Trails as they are designed like most turf soccer cleats with a reinforced toe cap, but without the lifted heel and tight toe-box. There is an upcoming company entering the soccer cleat scene with the barefoot model, Natur Athletics - although their cleats don't officially ship until Spring of 2024. I've closely kept my eyes out on minimalist footwear pages for anyone looking for footwear to use for soccer. I currently use the 360's & HFS for Indoor Court Soccer (Futsal) and they truly help my joints feel healthy and allow me to keep playing! @@xeroshoes
Hi Xero Team! Is the scrambler relatively the same as the mesa trail 2 (born to run edition) in terms of sizing? I have the born to run mesa trail 2, size 10,5, and they fit well but feel juuust a little large, (but I still prefer a little larger with room for the toes than a little too tight). Thanks!!
Awesome! How do these compare to the Terraflex II and Mesa Trail II? Im using the Terraflex II now, but i think my feet are finally strong enough for something a little more minimal :)
The Scrambler Low will have a more technical grip and control due to the smaller lugs and bike tread pattern, so these are meant to keep you moving quickly. The TerraFlex II will have an extremely abrasion resistant upper, which is great for really rugged terrain and places that may add a lot of wear and tear to your shoes.
What size would you recommend for me? Last time I tried the HFS at 10.5 (I’m 10 in Vivo Primus Lite III, 11 in Primus Trail II) and they were too short and the toebox didn’t feel nearly as wide as my vivos, which hit my big toe. Had to pay a lot for return so I’ve been hesitant to order Xeros since.
Our Scrambler Mid will run true to size, so we would likely recommend a size 10. That said, if you are considering sizing up, each half size up will add roughly 1/4" in length and 1/8" in width. Feel free to contact our support team as well at support@xeroshoes.com and they can offer more personal assistance.
Hello, Steven. I am looking for one pair of Xero Shoes' shoes that have great traction on all terrain including both hard surfaces such as pavements and bitumen roads and softer or uneven surfaces such as gravel, grass, dirt roads, and trails. Your overview and other reviews of the Scrambler Low shoes have said that these shoes are great for trails and hiking and provide great traction on soft and uneven terrain. However, how does the shoes' traction on the hard surfaces compare to their traction on the soft or uneven surfaces? Also, could the lugs dig into the feet when the shoes are used on the hard surfaces considering the thin stack height?
Seems that you have a serious issue with upper mesh durability which is a big red flag especially considering the price. Was about to buy them, I won't.
Our shoes will have durable uppers, however in the case that something is to happen to them, they are covered under our 24 Month Manufacturing Warranty. We have a variety of styles with a variety of uppers, so if you are in need of something for more rugged terrain and conditions, you might consider styles like our TerraFlex II with their abrasion resistant upper or something like our Xcursion Fusion.
We have tons of styles to choose from on our website (xeroshoes.com), but if none of those are to your taste, we would love to hear about what styles you would like to see from us here: xeroshoes.com/feedback/

They feel insanely sturdy. The whole shoe is extremely robust but lite

@xeroshoes How does the sole durability compare to the Mesa Trail WP's? Also, are they water resistant? Thanks 🙏🏼
Durability will be comparable and they will not be water resistant, but they should dry quickly to allow you to stay on the move.
Great shoes. Nice to see Joe Pesci branching out into the shoe business.
What’s the stack height?
The stack height for the Scrambler Low will be 7.0mm.
Stack height without insole?
The stack height of the Scrambler Low will be 12mm.

That will be the stack height without the insole.
@xeroshoes in the reply to the same question above you said the stack height is 7mm. 🤔

The Scrambler Low should still work fine for harder surfaces or roads. Despite the thinner sole, you shouldn't feel the lugs under your feet.
