Product Description

“I love how close to barefoot the Speed Force II feels. I use it for my running track workouts as well as running errands.” – Lydia P.

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 5.3 oz. per shoe (W7). 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!

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.

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.

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.

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

I absolutely love my new running shoes, exactly what I was looking for I am going to get 2 more pair for back up. I love the feeling of a barefoot run without being bare foot. the fit is true to size and so comfortable I feel like I am on air when I run

Speed Force Shoes

I’m very active and exercise daily. Unfortunately I also have horrendous bunions so every day was agony for me. After researching bunions I purchased a couple expensive orthopedic shoes to alleviate bunion pain. Instead they aggravated my pain. Next I researched barefoot shoes and bunion relief. I purchased the Speed Force Shoes and in addition to having no adjustment period my pain is gone. The first day I jumped on my rebounded for a half hour and did a heavy step routine and used my treadmill. Every day is glorious to be active without the pain.

Spectacular!

I’ve been waiting for the Oswego to make a comeback…. and then came the Speed Force II. They have similar design, absolutely LOVE them. I own 7 different styles of XERO shoes, they are my go to #1 choice. I’m still hoping the Oswego makes a comeback, outstanding slip on and still going strong.

So comfortable

These shoes are great for long walks. I dont think they would work well for rough ground as they do feel like you are barefoot which feels great! I also wear them for pickleball even though they look like the ankle is not supported. They actually help me move well as they are super light and no ankle issues

Speed Force II

Absolutely excellent!! We went on a quick trip to Niagara Falls, and that was my all day, walking around shoe. I was comfortable, and didn't feel like I had shoes on. Also, when we got back home, I threw them in the wash right away, along with my duffel bag, and a pair of my husband's shoes. (one of the hotels we stayed in wasn't real clean). They came out perfectly, and dried very quickly. I did take the insole out to wash so that the entire shoe would get clean, plus cleaning the insole is no big deal. Keep up the great work!! I a am a fan for life. 🙂

Excellent shoes

Our family loves Xero shoes! I bought the dark blue Speed Force II for my son when he grew out of the kids sizes. He loves how they fit and how lightweight they are!
