Product Description

Our lightest, most minimalist, closest-to-barefoot performance shoe.

 


The comic book character The Flash gets his super speed from the Speed Force. We think this shoe will do the same for you.

While we made Speed Force to be a racing shoe, people are wearing it for MUCH more. Some take it on trails (watch where you put your feet given the feedback you’ll get from the 4.5mm FeelTrue® rubber sole), and others simply wear it all day, every day, because of the sock-like comfort.

 

Speed Force 360°

 




Here’s what you’ll love when you slip on your Speed Force:

  • LIGHTWEIGHT – Men’s 9 is only 6.6 ounces
  • GRIPPY – The tread pattern in the FeelTrue® rubber sole feels super sure-footed
  • “BARE-LY THERE” – the mesh upper with its silky smooth lining gives you a real barefoot-feeling

The other reasons you’ll love the Speed Force are thanks to its Xero Shoes DNA:

  • A wide toe box — lets your toes spread, splay and move naturally
  • Low-to-the-ground design for balance and agility
  • Non-elevated, “zero-drop” heel for proper posture
  • The flexible sole lets your feet bend and move the way they’re supposed to, naturally
  • Removable 3mm insole lets you choose the amount of barefoot feel you want
  • 100% vegan-friendly — no animal products are used in the Speed Force
  • 5,000 mile sole warranty

We can’t wait to hear about the records you break in the Speed Force, and how it helps you Live Life Feet First!

We designed the Speed Force to be a racing shoe. Our lightest, most minimalist, closest-to-barefoot shoe.

What we’ve found, though, is people are wearing it for WAY more than that.

Road running, light trail running, walking, hiking, working out, CrossFit, slacklining… it’s up to you. Once you get them on, I’m sure you’ll do things we never thought of (and we want to see pictures of that!).

Put on your Speed Force and Live Life Feet First!

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.

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.

Caring for your Speed Forces

To clean your Speed Forces, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry.
We do not recommend putting the Speed Force in the washing machine or dryer.

Beyond Amazing

The absolute most comfortable, lightest, ground-feedback shoe I have ever owned. The King of all choices for practicing Tai Chi. Bought both black and grey is size 12 and they fit perfect. Can't imagine an improvement, but wondering how your design team can take perfection to beyond imaginable. Purchase and Enjoy!!

Please don't change these shoes

I have purchased 5 pairs of these shoes over the last 2 years. Please don't make big changes or discontinue this version of the speed force. I want to keep wearing this shoe for the rest of my life

Speed Force

This is my third pair of the speed force. I love these shoe. Please keep making them. I really love the fact that the shoe is not constantly update. I suppose when you make it right from the start updates are not needed.

Speed Force

My first pair of minimalist shoes and I absolutely love them! I did what what recommended and gradually used them to get used to the change. It’s a workout for my feet that they have never had. And they are so comfortable I just wear them everywhere. I enjoy the minimalist concept so much now, that I bought another pair of zero shoes..mesa trail 2’s. Zero shoes are my go to for everything now.

If barefoot won't work, these will

They are exactly what I wanted for indoor strength and agility workouts. Once they are on I don't have to think about what's on my feet. They fit perfectly. They stay put without feeling tight. I have traction and can feel the floor. That makes it easy to have good form, which means moving safely and without injury.

Oh Golly! These shoes love my feet!

I bought my first pair in 2019. I have worn them almost every single day in rain, snow, heat, fog, hiking, running, cleaning, repairing and they have never disappointed me. The soles are nearly worn smooth and I have hesitated to sully the new pair. Today, I play the new pair on my feet and remember why I love these shoes SO MUCH! On my feet and happy me.
