Product Description

“These are so light! Not only are they great on the road, but they look cute!” – Brittany 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 6.4oz (for each Women’s size 7), 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.

Caring for your Xero Shoes

To clean your Xero Shoes, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting them in the washing machine or dryer.

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.

They are great but run small.

They are great but run small. They fit ok but I should have chosen a 1/2 size larger I think I would be extremely happy with them.

Life changing

If you've been struggling with sore feet or the frustration of finding shoes that properly fit your wide feet, I highly recommend giving these minimalist shoes a try. They have exceeded my expectations in every way, providing unmatched comfort and support. Prepare to be amazed and bid farewell to foot pain forever!

Review Part 2

I can't edit my review so I'll add here: If you are on the small end of your size, order true to size! With these and HFS's, the half-size-up recommendation was too big for me, so choose wisely. Also, I love the glove-type shoe opening which I've never experienced before. I have slender feet and it is a pleasure to wear these! Deat Stephen and Lena, please make more shoes like these! And let us know which ones are like these (Forza Runner series?) so we can continue to enjoy the best!

Finally, what I've hoped for

I must admit, I loved my Merrell Vapor Gloves and did not think Xero had anything that could match them. I've tried the HFS and the shoe concept is different. The Forza Runners, however are the closest thing I've found to my Vapor Gloves (the soles of the Vapor Gloves wear out too quickly for my preference). I'm so glad Xero shoes has creates these and I hope they pursue this type of shoe in contrast to the inferior Prio, HFS, etc. Also I hope they will create better colors since my husband is not fond of the men's colors. All in all, I highly recommend and love these shoes!

Really enjoying these shoes

I have a high arch so I was somewhat skeptical about if these natural shape shoe was going to provide enough support. While you can feel a lot of things through the bottom they are so comfortable! I love wearing these for walks and lifting especially. Runs I am still getting used to personally but I like these shoes a lot as it feels like it strengthens my feet and ankles.

I liked both the feel and the style but had to return them due to the size. I followed the advice on line that they are true to size but found them slightly short in the toe area on me. I did not understand the exchange procedure so I returned them. I may reorder in one half size up .
