Returning to foot wellness

When I was a child, during the summers, I’d play outside barefoot at the lake. By summers end, I’d be comfortably walking down the gravel road barefoot to my friend’s house. I naturally, or unnaturally, fell into wearing trendy sneakers and my trusty running shoes, which I thought were great. I’ve had ankle injuries the last few years, after over 30 years of running. I decided to try strengthening my feet, which led me to zero drop shoes and low stack height, which in turn, led me to Xero. After about a month of wearing them, I’m already up to walking a 5K in my Speed Force 2’s, and as I adapt, I’ll start adding short running mileage in them as well. My feet, while sore at first, are already feeling more resilient. I have also noticed less tension in my lower back. Coincidental? Maybe, or maybe it’s all part of a kinetic chain, and everything we add, or take away, matters. I’m eager to continue to learn and grow, and thankful to Xero for making some coolio sneakers that have helped me therapeutically as well.

Great shoes!

I love these shoes. They’re comfortable and feel like I’m not wearing anything on my feet. Great for the gym and for any other activity I do ie walking, biking, running. Will definitely recommend

I had been wearing nanos before trying these shoes. The fit is a little narrower than the nanos, I was a little nervous about losing the “barefoot” feel, but after a day I have come to the conclusion that it’s a better fit over all. The quality of construction over the nanos is very apparent. From the stitching of the shoe, to the materials of the souls, my new Speed Force is the clear winner.

Fit my foot perfectly for running

No more overly wide toe boxes, these feel like they were made for my feet. Going to rediscover my running form with these
