“Best shoes I have ever worn. I actually get excited about putting them on each day.”
– Douglas M.

A new lightweight, breathable mesh upper, a new tire tread-inspired sole, a silky moisture wicking lining, protected tension straps… put all of that together for your new favorite road running shoe, the HFS.

Of course, we know you’ll do much more than just run down your favorite roads in the HFS (and we can’t wait to see pics of where it takes you and what you do in it!)

WHAT MAKES THE HFS THE ULTIMATE MINIMALIST ROAD RUNNING SHOE?

Why “HFS?”

Well, it could be for the “Highly Flexible Sole” that lets your foot move naturally, or the face you’ll make when you put it on — “Happy Face Shoe” — or the way you run in it with a “High Frequency Stride”, or what you exclaim when you put it on and feel the comfort and light weight: “Holy ___ ___!”

There are as many possible answers as there are things you’ll do in the HFS.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THE HFS:

Natural FIT — a wide toe box lets your toes spread, splay, relax, and function naturally.

Natural MOTION — the HFS is flexible enough to let your feet bend, move, and flex the way, well, that feet are supposed to. The “XERO-drop” design (non-elevated heel) allows for proper posture, and it’s built low to the ground for balance and agility.

Natural FEEL — the HFS has a 5mm FeelTrue® rubber sole to give you the right combination of protection plus ground-feedback, so your brain knows how to move your body optimally. Also, you can remove the 3.5mm insole, for a closer-to-barefoot experience that lets you Feel The World®.

Light weight — so light, in fact, you could forget you have them on. A men’s 42 is about 224 grams (each).

Huarache-inspired design — the adjustable instep and midfoot straps are not just eye-catching but functional, giving you a secure and comfortable fit.

Vegan-friendly materials — No animal products are used in the HFS

5,000 mile sole warranty — like all Xero Shoes, the HFS is backed with a 24 month manufacturer’s warranty and a 5,000 mile sole warranty.

Super comfortable

I’ve only been walking with them, but they feel great. It’s like having a sock with a sturdy bottom, that hugs your foot.

Good running shoes with a minor con

I was using the prio for workout and occasionally running. But the running part didn’t felt good. So I purchased the HFS. The shoe does this job well done. It feels as I‘m running more forward with using less energy (runners know what I mean). It’s lighter as the prio which is a good point for being more lightweighted… The only con so far is that due to the lighter and not so solid structure compared to the prio, the fabric is kind of folded along the lacing. Luckily it’s not cresting creases which is rubbing against my feet and I guess it’s due to my need to feel secured inside tho shoe. Overall it’s not my first Xero shoe and the HFS is performing good. So definitely not my last Xero shoe!

Mixed feelings of the pros and cons

While I searched for high-quality shoes with more space for toes I'm irritated that most of these are also bare-foot shoes. I just want to note two things. First bare-foot shoes aren't 'compatible' with the city I live in (many rocky roads). Second I just don't like the feeling of bare-footbarefoot. I just want a more natural shape of the shoes to have space for my toes. That's the reason why I will not leave 4 stars. The quality of fabrics is good but HFS aren't indestructible. That's what I can say.

Simply comfortable

Most comfortable shoe, both for running and for daily use in the city. As long as it isn't too cold or rainy this is simply the best shoe. The upper material is very soft and wraps my foot like a glove while the sole provides very good tactility and at the same time has an ever so slight cushioning that makes walking on any surface very enjoyable. Sadly it's been discontinued
