Xero Shoes Men's HFS II Barefoot Running Shoes

I wear 11.5's, not the biggest shoe but carrying full size shoes in my backpack takes a lot of space but I still wanted some lifting shoes for the gym instead of my work boots / sneakers so I settled on these...The big surprise was realizing these were straight up so comfortable AS IS I just wear these everywhere now. They are my walking / hiking / everything shoes now (except work).Really nice shoes, the price seems right as well I don't feel like I'm over paying but also don't feel like it's a huge bargain either - it's just right. Can't say much about durability that takes months to figure out... they are very thin so time will tell if I walk right through them but for now I'm so impressed.

I have the previous version of this shoe as well. Both run small in size. Get a 1/2 size bigger than you normally would. The HFS II is very different from the original. Do *NOT* think this is an upgraded or improved or better shoe than the original. It's night and day. The original is an outstanding BAREFOOT running shoe with a very thin sole through which your feet can actually feel the surface of the ground. I love running in those shoes but they are tiresome walking around in all day for hiking or city walking. The opposite is true with the HFS II. The sole is clearly stiffer, possibly slightly thicker too. It's an awesome shoe for the whole day for minor hiking, city walking, going to work or going out. It's also dressy enough to use for social events. But for running, it's a big NO for me because there's no barefoot feel to them. IMO...

As much as I love what the brand stands for, the toe box is so narrow. I have several different brands of zero drop shoes for better feet but these were just too narrow and I don’t even have wide feet. Particularly right at my pinky toe was getting folded in. I wear a cheap pair of whitins for work and honestly the toe box on those is just what I look for. It’s a shame cause they look awesome and are a great value compared to my expensive altras. And the insert they come with has great comfort. Overall is you have narrow feet these will probably work great for you or if your looking for a high performance application I guess but try to find them in wide

These shoes are great. They fit very well and have a large toe box. The build quality is excellent as well.If you’re looking for a barefoot shoe, I would give these a try.

Wear them every day which is over 100k steps a week. The toe box could be a smidgen wider but other than that no complaints

These are the second pair of Xero shoes that I've bought. I bought these because I loved the first pair, but there have been some significant changes in the design that leave a cramped toe box and more pressure on the sides in a way that are causing hotspots (loss of 1 star) due to a poor fit. I might have given this a higher rating, but in my mind reducing the toe box in a barefoot shoe is a BIG MISTAKE by the company in my mind (loss of 2 stars). There is NO VALUE (loss of 1 star) when a barefoot shoe is this expensive & tightening the toe box, to me that is one of the cardinal sins of Nike & other major shoe companies. After this I plan to explore the running shoes by "Real Foot" in the UK instead.

I love these shoes so much I bought a pair for work and a play/excercise pair. They fit perfect, decent toe box, zero drop and they do give you a barefoot feel on trails and comfy on pavement. Im new to the barefoot scene so they do make my feet a little sore at work cause im concrete all day so I got a pair of lems which have a thicker sole just for work. But for trails and exercise these are my go to's

This was my second pair of Xero shoes and I was left a little disappointed. I don’t even run in them and in under two months of just walking, the bottoms started to develop several bare spots.They’re extremely comfortable and fit true to size, but I can’t recommend them if they are not durable at all.The Xero Nexus Knit treated me much better.
