Men's HFS II Barefoot Running Shoes

My husbands favorite shoe! Fits well and comfortable - great price too !

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...

Great shoes, very comfortable!

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

Honestly, it could be a little wider, just a little. Feels narrow for a wide toe box shoe, but at least it wider than your normal shoe. Other than that, I’ve enjoyed the shoe! Looks good! Feels pretty good. I like it more than the nexus knit I had

Amazing sensitivity, feels like I'm walking over a pile of bodies with every step! I can feel ever contour wherever I go. Runs very small though. Update as of 12/31: toe box exterior is peeling, and there's no way to return through Amazon or Xero. A little unfortunate.

Some of the best running minimalist shoes I have found. Great for lifting and casual wear as well. The HFS 2 is a great all round shoe.

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.
