I've not used/run in the WP version, but personally, I never go for WP shoe options. Instead, I get wet feet and rely on the shoe's water drainage to remove excess water-which the Mesa Trail II does really well! I know that's not for everyone. But it's something to consider. Apologies for the audio quality. I'll continue improving.

For the first 500km it was 100% trail. Now I don't mind doing "door-to-trail" runs in them, meaning there's some road running but still very little. It always depends on the trails you use them on, some hard packed and rocky trails can be just as hard wearing on shoes as roads can be. But if you're constantly in mud, you'll have a different experience.

Maybe one day? :)

:) Foot length 26.7cm and I use US9. One of the only real true to size Xero I know of. Or maybe it's me. :)

I don't think it's any wider, and I have had some reports that the Scrambler Low midsole shape is uncomfortable for those with flatter feet, it causes pressure under the arch. That said the soft upper material make it very forgiving in fit, because in depth and width. I'd say you can run a little faster in the Scrambler Low because it has more protection underfoot, the draw back being less ground feel. It all depends on the goals for that run.

I have overpronation and find that my stability is noticeably worse in the scrambler low. You are higher up in that shoe, so it exacerbates any collapsing. The mesa trails have been incredible, they just won't protect you like that Michelin sole will.

@@alexm2873 Thanks for adding context. Always good to share experiences!

Yeah, you sure can use them for walking! In fact they're likely a better hiking shoe than a running shoe due to their minimal make up. When you're walking you can be more mindful about foot placement etc.

@@barefootrunreview Thank you. Have ever tried the Scrambler low? What do you think about them?

@@an.20.24 yeah reviewed them over on my website, and I raced a 100km them. They're not as minimal as the Mesa Trail and a lot less flexible. But if you're moving over a longer distance, or if you need more protection, they're a good option. They fit fairly similarly.

@@barefootrunreview Thanks a lot. Considering I usually walk with the Prio from Xero, I think I'm going to buy the Mesa. Thanks.

@@an.20.24 that makes sense to me. You'll like theM I'm sure.

😁 Pretty much the complete opposite to all of my conclusions, but hey, everyones different.

Very well. I did many stream/river crossing yesterday and was still happy running in them. The materials are minimal so it doesn't hold on to too much water. An alternative, more focused towards water sports is the Xero Shoes Aqua X Sport. Which is very similar in construction, and more cut down. But for running, I'd stick with the Mesa Trail II.

@@barefootrunreview Thank you!
