Built For Performance

All Day Comfort
Erem’s shock-absorbing insole firmly cradles the foot with a contoured and molded cork footbed that promotes long-term foot health. Handmade in Portugal from rescued cork crumb, the insole is topped with just the right amount of natural latex foam for plush, all-day comfort.
Support
The Xerocole Expedition has a 7.25" boot height to provide the ankle support required for carrying heavy loads on uneven terrains. An increased, internal reinforcement and full length shank provide extra underfoot support and torsional rigidity to smoothly handle the gnarliest terrain.


Extended Durability
The Xerocole Expedition features a single-piece, rubber sole stitched to the upper to prevent delamination while enabling repairability. 1.8-2.0 mm thick reverse, full-grain leather in the upper is a robust yet flexible material that provides puncture and abrasion resistance on all critical wear-points.
Protective
An extended boot shaft, full length gusset, and padded collar keep out trail dust and debris, preventing oder, irritation, and blisters. An integrated 3.0 mm toe bumper and full covered leather toe smooth out uneven footing. Deep 6.0 mm tread lugs ensure steady traction even in loose substrate.


Biocircular™
Made with only materials that have a proven, safe, and timely path back to nature, repairable through the Erem Reboot Program, and able to be re-streamed into a brand new 'tough as cactus' footwear, the Xerocole Expedition represents the future of sustainable outdoor performance, today.

Care & Cleaning
How to Care for Your Xerocoles
1) Reverse grain leather is a very durable material. Still, for best performance, clean regularly
2)
If the leather gets wet, we suggest stuffing the boots with paper
towels or newspaper while they dry to help the boots keep their shape.
3) Always let your Xerocoles dry naturally. Don't put them near / under direct heat.
4) Some people think that reverse grain leather looks best when brushed. Use specialized suede brushes for best results.
How to Clean Your Xerocoles:
1) Remove the laces from your boots for full access to the tongue and gusset.
2) Use a shoe brush and shoe wipes to remove dirt and debris from the suede and canvas.
3)
Mix mild dish detergent into a bucket or sink filled with cold water.
Do not use bar soap or detergents as many contain additives that can be
harmful to suede and canvas.
4) Using an old toothbrush, dip it into the soapy water and gently brush in a circular motion to clean.
5)
Without getting any water inside of the boots, use a clean, damp cloth
and rinse the soap off. Repeat until the boot is clean and all traces of
soap are removed.
6) Crumple up a few sheets of paper towel or newspaper, and stuff it in the boot to help the boot keep its shape while drying.
7)
Place the boots in a well-ventilated area and let the boots dry
naturally. We do not recommend putting your boots in the dryer or any
heat source under any circumstances.
Other Cleaning Tips & Tricks
Always
allow your boots to air dry. If your boots get wet, make sure to remove
the footbed insole to ensure the interior fully dries.

Great quality
Quality is superior. Great fit.

Amazing boots
These boots are very high quality. They are very comfortable and sturdy but not heavy at all.

Seriously tough boots
They fit like a glove and are the toughest boots I own.

Great boot.
I was looking to replace my old boots, Belleville ONE XERO 320 Ultra Light Assault Boots. These were an excellent replacement, nice and light, they dont get too hot, and have excellent traction.
