Forza Trainer

Product Description

“The perfect training shoe. My balance feels better, and I can get more power from the ground.” -Eddie M.

Power and stability start by connecting your feet to the ground. The Forza Trainer’s heel-and-instep “lockdown” strap gives that connection.

The bootie-style construction and silky smooth lining not only make your workouts more comfortable than ever but could make the Forza Trainer your all-day, everyday shoe.

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.

I use these for lifting weights and HIIT training. Love the minimalist feel while feeling “locked in” during lateral movements.

Falco Straps

Falco straps part of the shoe do not fasten that well… the only problem I have with the shoe, that I am disappointed with.

Death of my old functional trainer shoes

Got these to replace my beaten up NB x200 (vibram soles). So far so good overall using them for cardio, weight lifting, and work. They feel extremely light and I like the additional Velcro strap for support. They are easy to put on with the heel lips (very stretchy) Can’t go wrong with all black (discrete enough for work, look professional enough and requires no struggles with matching colors) I went half a size up due to my feet having a tendency to swell slightly from exercise…my old NBs shoes had holes develop from stretching and friction over time. No issues with these Xeros in terms of friction burns or tight spots (huge plus, should last until the soles develop holes)

Forza Trainers

The Forza Trainers are a big improvement over the Prio in terms of durability and support. They fall short on the midfoot strap because it doesn't tighten as much as I would like.

Great Training Shoe

Awesome pair of trainers! I've been wearing minimalist shoes for about a decade now. Vivo, Merrells, Inov8, Skora and of course Xero. I was training in the Prios and I have two other pair of Xero shoes so you can tell I like them. When the Forza was released I waited a bit to see the initial reviews and then bought them. I've been using them about 2 months now, 3 or 4 days a week for an hour or so each weight training session. Flexible enough, wide enough toe box, thin enough sole for some feeling but not too thin to be uncomfortable. I like the laces and Velcro strap for some added security. I prefer to wear my laces slightly loose to get more of a natural, barefoot feel so most of the time the Velcro works fine. However, a few times I've tightened the laces and velcro to do sled pushes I could see the need for additional Velcro on the strap. It wouldn't stop my from buying them but it would be a nice adjustment for Xero to make in the future.

Finally! Great Minimalist Shoes for Crossfit

I’ve tried two different pairs of minimalist shoes for CrossFit. Finally looked again for another brand (Xero) and absolutely LOVE them! I bought the men’s version as another review said they are a tad wider…Excellent for rope climbs, rowing, wall walks, and jumprope!! All the movements that caused some issues with other brands! Thank you Xero! Already ordered another pair… the new Dillions. Can’t wait to try em’ out!

Very comfortable show.

I love it so far. Haven’t run a great deal since I bought them but I am impresses so far. Then again I am a Xero fanboy. I think this is my 10th Xero.

Good but problems with the straps

I guess I have a narrow foot. The first straps were way too long. They sent replacement straps and they were easy to install. The velcro barely connects and wouldn't if I pulled it really tight. I'll take some velcro from the original strap and sew it to match my foot. If it wasn't for the straps these would be 5 star.

solid trainer so far

great feel and stability. the ankle strap adds an added bracing so the shoe doesn’t side around which is a great feature. the cushion seems to be a nice balance for gym environments. more colorways would be nice.
