HFS - Barefoot-friendly, Minimalist Women's Road Running Shoe

Q: What's different between the Prio, HFS, and Speed Force?

The Prio is our best-selling "do almost anything" shoe -- running, hiking, working out, you name it. With a durable upper, it provides a bit more protection. The Speed Force is our lightest, "most barefoot" shoe. More feedback as you step and a mesh upper that holds like a glove, you get a "barely there" experience. The HFS is lighter than the Prio, more rugged than the Speed Force. The HFS's sole has a new tire tread-inspired sole that's made to handle roads and have extra traction. The huarache-inspired midfoot and instep straps are "hiding" behind a protective welded material. And the lining using "37.5" material, which is designed for extra moisture wicking.

Product Description

“These are really comfortable shoes. My feet never feel confined, in fact,
I forget I’m wearing shoes.”
– Heather P.

A new lightweight, breathable mesh upper, a new tire tread-inspired sole, a silky moisture wicking lining, protected tension straps… put all of that together for your new favorite road running shoe, the HFS.

Of course, we know you’ll do much more than just run down your favorite roads in the HFS (and we can’t wait to see pics of where it takes you and what you do in it!)

WHAT MAKES THE HFS THE ULTIMATE MINIMALIST ROAD RUNNING SHOE?

Why “HFS?”

Well, it could be for the “Highly Flexible Sole” that lets your foot move naturally, or the face you’ll make when you put it on — “Happy Face Shoe” — or the way you run in it with a “High Frequency Stride”, or what you exclaim when you put it on and feel the comfort and light weight: “Holy ___ ___!”

There are as many possible answers as there are things you’ll do in the HFS.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THE HFS:

Natural FIT — a wide toe box lets your toes spread, splay, relax, and function naturally.

Natural MOTION — the HFS is flexible enough to let your feet bend, move, and flex the way, well, that feet are supposed to. The “XERO-drop” design (non-elevated heel) allows for proper posture, and it’s built low to the ground for balance and agility.

Natural FEEL — the HFS has a 5mm FeelTrue® rubber sole to give you the right combination of protection plus ground-feedback, so your brain knows how to move your body optimally. Also, you can remove the 3.5mm insole, for a closer-to-barefoot experience that lets you Feel The World®.

Light weight — so light, in fact, you could forget you have them on. A women’s 7 is about 5.8 ounces (each).

Huarache-inspired design — the adjustable instep and midfoot straps are not just eye-catching but functional, giving you a secure and comfortable fit.

Vegan-friendly materials — No animal products are used in the HFS

5,000 mile sole warranty — like all Xero Shoes, the HFS is backed with a 24 month manufacturer’s warranty and a 5,000 mile sole warranty.

Slip on your new HFS, head out on your next adventure, and Live Life Feet First!

Caring for your HFS

To clean your HFS, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry.
We do not recommend putting the HFS 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.

How do I send a gift certificate?

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.

What’s your return policy?

Please go to Xero Shoes Return Policy page to learn about our 45-day return policy.

Skeptic turned believer!

I have fought plantar fasciitis for years and tried every (over)supportive shoe I could try and added inserts to them all. A friend recommended I try these. Despite my concerns, I bought 2 pair of the HFS and I’m soooooo glad I did. It further resulted in a pair of sandals and a pair of boots! My feet don’t really hurt much at the end of the day now, and I stand on tile floors all day. I love that I can feel the ground beneath me when I walk, and it has really increased my proprioception so I’m not wobbly or tripping. I usually would kick my shoes off and go barefoot as soon as I got home, but now they don’t come off until I go to bed. Great products guys!

Slowly winning over another convert…

Got these for my wife since she’s seen me wearing my own HFS and Prios. She says the shoes are lightweight and comfortable. They cinch a bit when tightened since my wife’s foot is a bit narrow. Great traveling shoes since they collapse and pack better than larger shoes.

BEST SHOE AND SHOE COMPANY!

I absolutely love these shoes. It was my second pair. I tried another barefoot company, and they did not fit the way yours do. just like a moccasin. I have had feet issues the last 10 years and since switching the majority of the time to these, I have had most pain dissipate over time. I am a coach and gym owner on my feet all day and I love these! Also thank you so very much for checking back after so long with still not recieving product. It was an error on Fed ex, however they never tried to resolve and i had just given up on getting my shoe order as it had been months and months since.. You reached out and asked and resolved it and i have my second pair on my feet right now, thank you for not just quality product, but integrity and service!!!!

Running Is Fun Again!

I ordered a half size up as suggested but they were too big. I exchanged them for my normal size and have been running in them everyday. I love the freedom of them but also my hip pain is gone!
