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.

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 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.

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.

These are my favorite shoes!

The Speedforce is the closest thing to being barefoot when you have to wear shoes. They are more comfortable than my go to shoes the DIY sandal because the interior is just so comfy. The sandals are still my go to because they are almost not shoes, but these qualify as closed toed shoes so I can wear them to work. These are my second pair of Speedforce and when they wear out, they will be replaced with the Speedforce II. Keep up the great work Xero Shoes! I love supporting superior products!

Speed Force One review

I really was hoping to love these shoes, but unfortunately I'm disappointed. They are too narrow and constricting. I even took out the insoles and loosened the lace slightly, but they still felt too uncomfortable. I was starting to feel ankle pain as I wore them a few times around the house and to work (office) hoping to "break them in". Unfortunately, this stinks as I'm kinda now stuck with shoes that I'll probably never use in the future. I still love your vision and products. However, this one just didn't work out for me after giving them a good try

After shaky start, I am thrilled!

The shaky start was the tracking information showed no change at DHL for 4 days. I contacted DHL and they indicated that they still had not received the package. I then contacted Xero and got a reply the next day. I then checked back with DHL and the package arrived. I received the shoes in Canada just under 3 weeks :)! I tried them on and was a little luke warm on them, but then I started to wear them everytime I went out and was thrilled I was able to wear them to the airport for my flight to San Antonio. They are super comfortable and I love them! I have an idea for Xero shoes that I would love to share with Lena and Steven. I highly recommend these shoes, and plan to buy a a sandal and another pair when I'm in Florida for the summer to avoid Canadian duty.
