Xero Shoes Offering for Fall 2021-THE 360!

I have been wearing and reviewing Xeros for over 10 years now, from the first pair of Contact sandals I bought when the company was just starting out. They never seem to disappoint. The 360 is no exception. For purposes of full disclosure, I received these at no cost for testing purposes. If you happen to buy them from here on my site, I will receive a small commission from the sale. There were NO preconditions or suggestions as to how I would review these, or any others that I have reviewed in the past. These are a great all around training (and almost anything else) shoe. They have a multi use tread, not as aggressive as a trail shoe, (but they work for that, too...I tried it!). Whether you are in the gym, the yard, or running around town, these are really comfortable. The soft breathable upper is really forgiving to the feet. They, of course, in Xeros tradition, are zero drop, and have the characteristic wide toe box. One unique feature on these that I have never seen is the addition of rubber strips across the front/top of the upper. That feature will be, I think, particularly good for extra traction if you are doing things such as climbing ropes, etc. My use of them was a bit unique. I ran in them, of course, but the way I really put them through their paces was using them as I worked our organic orchard. I am tramping through mulch, up and down out of ladders and trees all day long when I am working the orchard (in addition to my day job). These have worked out very well for that purpose. The rubber strips, for my purpose, are handy for hooking a toe under a ladder rung or a limb as I'm reaching to pick fruit or prune branches. (I told you my use of these would be a bit unique.) Most people will use these, I think, in the gym or weight room, doing aerobics, etc. and I think they are well suited for such activities. If you have a need for an all purpose, "go-to" shoe, the 360 just might be for you. I don't think you will be disappointed!
