“The Forza Runner is by far one of the best running shoes I own. They’re not only functional but trendy as well” – James W.

Road running is now even lighter. We took our best-selling road runner, the HFS, reduced the weight, and added a sock-like, breathable, knit mesh upper that feels one with your foot. Of course we know that when you’re not running you’ll love showing off the sleek style.

The Forza Runner may feel narrow, but it will break in and stretch out. So if you think you have a REALLY wide foot, the Forza Runner may not work for you.

FEEL CONNECTED TO YOUR WORLD WHEN YOU RUN IN THE FORZA RUNNER

READY FOR ACTION

When Italians use the term “Forza” they mean “You have the strength to do this!” The Forza Runner gives you the strength to take on your favorite road run and so much more. The knit mesh upper makes this shoe breathable and lightweight, giving it a sock-like feel. At just 7.5oz (for each Men’s size 9), the Forza Runner is so light you won’t even know you have them on.

JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT

Protection? Or barefoot feel? You can have whichever you want with the removable 3.5mm insole. Leave it in for extra protection, or take it out for optimal ground feel.  Enjoy road-gripping traction with the tire-inspired tread design. Like any other shoe we make, our FeelTrue® rubber soles are backed with our 5,000 mile sole warranty.

WE MAKE RUNNING SHOES SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Forza Runner.
 
Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.
 
All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for better balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you the combination of grip, protection, and ground-feel your brain wants to help you Live Life Feet First.

FAQs


We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

After you purchase a gift certificate, you’ll be able to enter an email address for the recipient.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

Light but tight

I ordered my usual Xero size for the Forza Runner but they feel a bit small. They are okay without socks, though. They were comfortable for all day right out of the box.

Best fast shoes!

These shoes come a bit smaller than normal like the sizing points say.. I wish I would have ordered .5 size bigger still than what I did.. but even still these are super comfortable shoes. I get so many compliments on them as well as they look super stylish. Highly recommend these and honestly every pair of xeros we own have been amazing. If u have wider feet these are tight to get into, but once they are one they fit like perfection.. thanks xero for yet again another amazing shoe!

Forza Runner

I want to like the shoe, but I ordered my usual size and it fits too small. I also felt that the toe box wasn’t wide enough for my feet in this model than in the Prio and Denver. I love Xero products, I wonder if I just got a one off product.

I should have listened! Sizing is off.

I like these shoes but I should have listened to the guidelines that said they run small. My other Xero shoes had lots of space so I thought the same size in the Forza would work. I was wrong. Even though it's my fault for not listening to the sizing warning I am still giving only 3 stars because they are much shorter and more narrow than my Piro. It's too bad I won't be able to enjoy these the way I had hoped I would. I will likely have to donate these.

Xero Shoes

Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you liked the shoes but are sorry to hear the fit didn’t meet your expectations. The Forza has a different fit profile compared to other Xero Shoes, which can result in a narrower feel. We always recommend following our sizing guidelines for each specific model to get the best fit. We understand how frustrating it is when sizing doesn’t work out, and we appreciate you giving them a try. If you need help finding a pair that fits more like your Prios, our customer happiness team is happy to assist!
