Introduction

The Xerocole Expedition is a women’s high top hiking boot model built for off-trail desert adventure. The upper features 1.8 – 2.0mm thick, full-grain leather for extreme protection and durability. The 7.25 boot height provides ankle support for heavy loads on uneven terrains while sealing out dust and debris. A high-traction, 70% recycled rubber sole and a shock-absorbing cork footbed deliver the performance and comfort needed for the worlds harshest terrain. TENCEL interior lining and forefoot venting provides unparalleled breathability and moisture wicking. The best part? The Xerocole Expedition is Biocircular, meaning it is made only from materials with 100% proven paths back to nature, is repairable through the Erem Reboot program, and can be re-streamed into new, tough as a cactus boots over and over again.The Xerocole is designed with a roomier fit. Therefore, We recommend if you have wide or fuller feet choose your normal size. For people with a narrow or low volume foot, we recommend sizing down 1/2 size from your measured or usual size (e.g if you are normally an 11, go with a 10.5). These boots were built for some of the worlds toughest and most beautiful terrain. Using only materials with proven paths back to nature, it’s amazing that something so sustainable can also look good, feel good, and be so durable in rugged desert conditions. Erem is changing the footwear game, and we’re here for it.
