The Speed Force is a performance racing style shoe from Xero with a maximum barefoot feel. If you're new to barefoot running, you may want to try something more forgiving first as a transition shoe as you learn the barefoot gait style.
The Speed Force is perfect for those who want their shoes to gives as much feedback from the ground as possible. This makes it popular with our customers who have been wearing minimal shoes for years, and those who do Olympic lifting and other activities that require a direct and stable contact with the ground without a lot of impact.
Anywhere you would prefer to wear bare feet but want a little protection, choose the Speed Force.

Fit Guide:
Go half a size up from your "standard size," or a full size up for the roomiest fit. Email us if you have any questions about sizing!
The Speed Force fits like a racing flat, designed to hold your foot more securely than other athletic minimal shoes. They fit slightly narrower than other Xero shoes, but are generally wider than racing flats from regular shoe companies.
