“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

Do you ship internationally?

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.

Fantastic Introduction to Barefoot Shoes

These shoes have been an epiphany. I feel so much better when I walk around. The flat heel makes a bigger difference than I could have ever imagined. The only downside of this particular model is that they are hard to put on because of the "sock" construction. I will totally buy Xero shoes in the future with a traditional tongue.

Comfy shoes

Shoes are great. I love the connection I feel to the ground when running. I can even walk a slack line in them. The hard heel cap makes them difficult to put on, and the toe box could be wider, but these are a great alternative to altras, which have lost quality since their buyout.

Great shoes.

I’ve been playing pickleball with this shoes for about a week and love them. First few day I took it easy to get used to them, my legs are not sore like if I had a court shoe on. Love the way feel on the court let’s just see how long the sole last. Definitely recommend for play.

Not liking the Forza Runner

I didn't like the foot opening. It was too tight and made it difficult to put on and take off the shoe. It also did not flex with foot movement, causing the shoe to "slap" like duck feet with each step. The tight opening almost made laces useless. These shoes had the least barefoot-feel of any Xero shoes I've owned.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the foot opening and overall fit didn’t meet your expectations.

Your observations about the tight opening and reduced flexibility are valuable and will help us as we continually work to improve our designs. If you'd like assistance finding a style better suited to your needs, our customer happiness team is here to help. We appreciate your input and hope we can provide a better fit in the future!
