Forza Runner

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.

Favorite training shoes

I used to buy Reebok CrossFit shoes for the wide toe box. Since running those into the ground I decided to try a more minimalist barefoot type shoe and am really happy I went with xero. I originally ordered a different pair, but found them too bulky. These are perfect for me. They’re so light! Definitely get 1/2 size up. Glad I did. Love them!

Best shoes ever

I work on my feet on concrete floor. I always thought I needed a ton of cushion in my shoes. But my shoes would still end up giving me sore shins (probably because they were so heavy). I finally took a chance to go with no support and no cushion and I couldn't be happier. I seriously feel like I'm working bare foot.

Forza review

I really like these running shoes. I mostly run on a treadmill and do strength training- these shoes are perfect for both. They are my second pair of Xero shoes. My only suggestion would be to make this shoe with a tongue and normal opening, instead of a "fixed" opening. They can be difficult to put on without smashing the heel material. Other than that they really are a great feel and look good too!

Great for my needs!

I have been wearing minimalist shoes for a while as my daily shoe. These are great at it. I do find the they are constructed differently from what I used to use, but my feet are happier in them. I don't run, but they do great for a stay home mom's daily workload.

Great running shoes, but I ended up going with the Prio

Pros: - Super lightweight with great feedback. I felt like I could fly with these. These had the best feeling when hitting the ground, out of all the Xero shoes I tried. Cons: - There's no separate tongue on this shoe; it's all one attached piece. This makes it more difficult to make the shoe fit, unless it happens to fit your foot circumference perfectly. For me, my foot was more slim than the natural shape of the shoe, so the top of the shoe bunched up when I tied the laces. - The laces are difficult to tighten and loosen because they run under a stiff material. Not a huge deal, but it was difficult to get these on and off comfortably, compared to other shoes. I also probably wouldn't have been able to replace the laces with elastic ones or anything else. - No reflective parts. This was a big plus of the Prio for me, compared to these.

Forza Runner

I love my shoes! The only problem I have is I have a very high arch so it’s hard to get them on. Once they’re one, they are fantastic! I also ordered a half size bigger to help with that issue. I got these shoes because my Physical Therapist recommended Xero shoes for my foot problem.

Love them!

Love these shoes! Only reason for 4 stars is the inflexible area under the laces - I have a high arch and have trouble getting these shoes on easily, but they are so so comfy once on. I wear these all day every day in the hospital and highly recommend them!

Best shoes I've ever bought

My wife and I love our shoes, she used to wear traditional shoes and it promoted bad walking posture but now she's walking just fine with her Xeros, will definately be a lifetime customer.

Love but they do run small

I needed a pair of shoes that I could walk the short distance I can manage and also wear in theme parks. These fit the bill! I ordered a half size up as recommended, but do struggle to get my feet into the shoes, and they are slightly tight across the top of my feet... I might order a full size up next time. However, they are so comfy! I've removed the inserts and love the effect. My feet are happy all day with these!
