HFS II - Lightweight Road Runner

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 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 moisture wicking lining for extra comfort and breathability.

Q: 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.

“The HFS II, like the HFS I, is my go-to all-day shoe. I have enjoyed these for their wider toe box, anatomic fit, solid security and having just enough cushioning while maintaining a high level of flexibility.” – Doctors of Running

Why you’ll love HFS II.

HFS II – A New Take On Our Most Popular Road Friendly Running Shoe.

An evolution of our best selling road running shoe, the HFS II is even more comfortable, and more stylish. While we call it a road runner, we know you’ll do much more in it and can’t wait to see the pics of where it takes you and what you do.

HFS II is a high performance road running shoe that’s so comfortable you’ll wear if for pretty much everything else you do.

SO FREAKING GOOD!! I have been wearing my HFS II for pretty much everything! They get better and better with time! Love love love!!

Feels like I'm not wearing a shoe!

Oh my gosh I was blown away!

Super grippy, very very nice!

Light, Grippier, and Comfier.

Like the original HFS, the HFS II is super lightweight (6.7 oz for a women’s 7) so you’ll feel like you’re flying down the road. And with a new tire tread-inspired outsole, you’ll feel secure even if you go off road.

HFS II is so comfy, you might forget to take them off at the end of your run – we’ve even had people go to bed still wearing their shoes because they forgot they had them on!

We Haven’t Sole-d Out 🙂

The HFS II sole looks thick, but it’s an illusion.
We’ve added a thin BareFoam™ layer for extra protection and wrapped it, cup-like, around the upper giving the HFS II a more familiar-looking profile.

HFS II for everything you do.

Made to Last.

Like all Xero Shoes, the HFS II has a 5,000 mile sole warranty to outlast typical running shoes that are supposed to be replaced after 200-500 miles.

Why "HFS"?

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 II.

Life Changing Comfort.

Life Changing Comfort. 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 HFS II. 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 perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and Live Life Feet First!

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.

Like the shoe, issues with shoelaces and customer support

I actually really like the shoes. My friend recommended them to me. I’ve worn them a couple of times at the gym doing light workouts (elliptical and walking on the treadmill). I noticed that part of one of the shoe laces was already fraying. Not sure if they were like that originally or frayed after being worn. I reached out to customer service on a Tuesday asking if they have replacement laces because you’d think the laces would hold up. They responded on a Saturday saying that they do not keep inventory of shoe laces and recommended I purchase new shoe laces from an independent retailer such as Famous Footwear or Walmart. I can’t even return or exchange the shoes because I’ve worn them. Just left feeling overall disappointed and frustrated. I’ll still wear the shoes but will not be buying any more pairs and will not recommend them to family and friends.
