“This is the holy grail of barefoot performance training. I feel fast, light, and stronger than ever in the gym, on the track, and everywhere else.”
– Leonard M.

SPEED FORCE II – Speed and Power with Barefoot Feel

If you’re looking for the closest thing to a true barefoot experience, look no further than the Speed Force II – a stylish upgrade to our original Speed Force.

Steven Sashen, our CEO, Co-Founder, and Masters All-American sprinter designed the Speed Force with a former Nike developer. It’s the shoe he trains and races in.

Since we released the original Speed Force, people have worn this ultra lightweight shoe for working out, pickleball, taking a stroll and everything in between.

More Breathable and More Stylish

Speed Force II is our lightest performance shoe, weighing in at 6.5 oz. per shoe (M9). If you take out the removable insole for an even more barefoot feel, the shoe weighs even less!

The biggest change: a new, elegant, super-breathable upper with welded components for extra durability.

A Secure, Barefoot Experience

The iconic, adjustable instep and midfoot straps are not only eye-catching, but functional, giving you a confident, secure feeling for whatever you do in the Speed Force II.

With a flexible 4.5 mm thick FeelTrue™ rubber sole, your brain gets the feedback it needs to help you move effectively, efficiently, and enjoyably.

The dual chevron tread grips the ground and, like all Xero Shoes, Speed Force II is backed with our 5,000 mile sole warranty.

WE MAKE PERFORMANCE 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 Speed Force 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!

FAQs

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.

Even better than the last pair!

This time I went for the lightest and most minimal shoes, and I have been extremely impressed! My feet are not small, but feel small and dexterous in my Speed Force II shoes!

Excellent Shoes

The shoe is very comfortable. Only the shoe runs too large. Unfortunatly the Speed Force II is only available in the US-Shop.

My favorite shoes.

Vibrams are too narrow, and New Balance discontinued/changed the minimus. So I'm thankful I found Xero Shoes. I was heart broken when they discontinued the Speed Force, but then I found out they created a successor. The Speed Force II is my favorite shoe. I don't like shoes with separated toes, but I still want an extremely light shoe with zero drop and as little cushion as possible. The Speed Force II checks all those boxes. I deliver Chinese food for a living, and I wear these all day for work. I wear them at the gym. I wear them on long walks with the wife. I've heard that these are the owner's favorite shoe also, so I don't have to worry about it being discontinued.

Great fit and comfort for wide foot

The fit is excellent. The lace design and toe-box size make for an easily adjustable width. My EE feet fit nicely, including the right foot that is recently off of surgery and has some residual swelling. This shoe was a test replacement for a racewalking shoe and I'm not sure it will serve that purpose satisfactorily. I begin racewalk training again next month and will have a better idea then, but I sense I might need a bit more of an insole. We shall see. Anyway, the shoe is great for knocking around, shopping, and the weight room and elliptical trainer at my gym. Will still get great use from them even if they don't work for racewalking.

Natural Feel

Very comfortable and natural feeling. I've enjoyed lifting in these. I did feel like I was heel striking pretty hard when running, but I'm sure it will take some time to acclimate to not having the additional cushion that I'm accustomed to in my running shoes.
