Scrambler Mid II WP – Ultralight, Waterproof Hiking Boot is a mid-cut, ultralight hiking boot from Xero that combines a barefoot-style natural fit with waterproof protection, a flexible Michelin outsole and mountain-bike-inspired lugs for traction on mixed trails.
Key features
These core attributes define the Scrambler Mid II WP’s on-trail performance.
- Barefoot-style natural fit — Xero’s natural-fit philosophy prioritizes flexibility and ground feedback for a more tactile hiking experience.
- Ultralight and breathable — Lightweight construction keeps carry weight and foot fatigue low while allowing airflow.
- Waterproof protection — Built to keep feet dry in wet conditions without adding heavy bulk.
- Flexible Michelin outsole — A pliable Michelin sole supports mobility and a natural gait.
- Mountain-bike-inspired tread — Extra nubby lugs offer aggressive grip and mud-shedding for trail traction.
Comfort and fit
The Scrambler Mid II WP delivers a flexible, low-profile feel intended for natural movement and long-wear comfort.
Expect a low‑stack, flexible platform that emphasizes ground feedback and toe splay; the mid cut adds ankle coverage without excessive weight, and the ultralight build reduces fatigue on longer approaches.
Traction and trail use
The outsole combines a flexible Michelin design with nubby, bike-inspired lugs to prioritize grip and mud clearance on varied terrain.
This setup is aimed at mixed-trail hiking where confident traction and a responsive sole matter—rocky singletrack, rooty forest trails, and muddier sections all benefit from the tread pattern and sole flexibility.
Who this boot suits
The Scrambler Mid II WP suits hikers who want a lightweight, barefoot-style boot that still provides waterproofing and trail-ready grip.
- Hikers exploring mixed trails who value ground feel and low weight.
- Barefoot-curious or minimalist-footwear users seeking mid-cut protection and traction.
- Walkers needing waterproof performance without the bulk of traditional hiking boots.
Short summary
If you want an ultralight, waterproof mid-cut hiking boot with Xero’s natural-fit barefoot feel, a flexible Michelin outsole and aggressive, mud-shedding lugs, the Scrambler Mid II WP is built to deliver those attributes on trail.
