Xero Shoes Women's HFS II Barefoot Running Shoes

These are great barefoot-style shoes. These are very lightweight and flexible with no cushion, and they conform well to your feet. I introduced barefoot shoes into my collection many years ago, but gave up after my favorites kept getting discontinued. For reference, my most recent go-to shoe for running, lifting, and other activities has been the Altra Escalante 4. The Xeros have been great for lifting and HIIT-- I haven't yet tried to run in them because I'm trying to give my body time to adjust, plus they don't seem like they'd be very warm in the current cold weather. As for sizing, I have the same HFS size as my Altras, size 7. This is the same size as my "fashion" sneaker size (vans, converse), and a half size larger than my dress shoe size, which is generally a 6.5. You may not need to size up from a standard running shoe because of the wider toe box. I have fairly narrow feet and had to tighten them quite a bit, so they should work for people with wider feet as well. They tighten well without bunching up, if your feet are on the narrower side. If you have really wide feet, you may want to try the Xero Prio. I tried those as well but they are stiffer and more boxy, so ended up returning them and keeping the HFS. My only complaint not worth docking a star for is that the laces are pretty stiff, but I still haven't had any major issues with them coming untied. You may need some time for them to loosen up/stretch to conform to your feet. Overall I am extremely happy with the HFS, and these have become my go-to for all athletic activity other than running (hoping to add running in too at some point).

I wear a 9 normally and ended up getting the 9.5, which fit perfectly (with socks). This is my first barefoot shoe and I didnt have any issues adjusting. I wear this for my 12 hour shifts and also wore this for a trip to Seattle. My feet dont ache when wearing them or after wearing them. If anything, my feet/ankle feel stronger. It's been 3 months of almost daily wear and they still look/feel great. I highly recommend this pair.

A little more narrow than the Prio but makes up for it with a more substantial sole. I love the Prios, but I walk FAR, DAILY, and the thin sole of the Prio can hurt after 12+ miles more than a few days in a row. I got these for an upcoming trip where I’ll be walking..you guessed it.. A LOT. I’m happy with the quality. Just a heads up, the gray ones are not gray and purple, more of a gray and a darker gray. Still look great

I wear a size an 8 1/2, but I bought an eight in the Xero HSF II woman’s shoe, and the fit was great. While it’s an attractive, sturdy shoe, with an interesting color and material details in the sole, the sole was too hard for me, and the upper wasn’t comfortable all day long. So far, I’ve tried three other brands of barefoot shoes, including very lightweight for indoor use and sturdier ones for outdoor use. This shoe was the least comfortable of them all. I don’t think it’s worth the price, so I’m returning it and trying another brand.

Love these

Shoes were ok but one of the shoelaces was bulged in one place. Kinda weird but didn't hinder the wear. But my feet overall didn't like them, so sent them back. Amazon charged me $36 for a damage fee for this. Absolutely ridiculous!

Extremely comfortable and true to size. Even for a narrow foot. The white does get dirty easily, but they wash well in washing machine.

These didn't work for me at all. While they were the right size, they are so low in the toe area that my big toe rubbed on the top. Don't let this discourage you if you don't have feet like mine. My big toe is longer than my other toes and on the fatter side. I have always hated shoe shopping. Thankfully I did find a brand that works for me. My husband has a pair of these that he loves.

Los tenis están PRECIOSOS✨ Ya van varias personas que me preguntan por ellos y me dicen que les encantan, además son súper cómodos. Definitivamente volvería a comprar en otros colores u otros modelos de la marca💖

Tellement confortables. Moi qui aime bien marcher pieds nus chez moi, je retrouve les sensations du sol avec la chaussure si souple et suffisamment large. Mises dès la livraison et testées, elles sont bien respirantes et légères, on se sent presque comme dans des chaussons de gym pour ceux qui connaissent

Love these

Top! Sehr gut auch für breite Füße mit hohem Rist und Zehe die alle fast gleich lang sind. Mein Sohn verwendet sie als Hallenschuhe im Turnunterricht.

Excellent shoes! I’ve been teaching my fitness classes successfully without any foot or Knee pain!! In fact they are helping correct a long term issue of knee pain! Zero drop wide toe box shoes work!! I would definitely buy these again. They are comfortable cute looking and excellent design fitting my size 7 perfectly!
