Is the Pagosa Fireside actually waterproof?

Xero lists the upper as waterproof, so it handles slush and light rain. The knit and faux-suede panels mean you should still avoid standing water above the sole.

How does the 4-inch heel work with zero drop?

The platform raises the whole foot rather than just the heel, so the heel-to-toe drop stays flat. It gives height without pitching you forward.

Should I size up or down?

Xero's foot-shaped lasts run roomy, and the slip-on has no laces to tighten. If you are between sizes or have narrow feet, consider the smaller size or the normal width.

One pair of Pagosa Fireside shoes. No extra insoles or laces are included, since the shoe is a slip-on.
