Customer Reviews Xero Shoes HFS

For the first time, my feet don't pronate. They are nice and flat on the ground.

No arch support at all.

Wanted to love these shoes. So disappointed. They are 1/2 size too small and very thin soles.

These are super light weight. I use them for studio gym classes. I don't think they have enough support for running.

I wanted to love these, but they made me rotate my foot inward. I tried with and without the removable insert and the only thing I can think of is the way the bottom of the shoe is sewn to the rest of the shoe causes me to feel the seam on my heal, which forces my body to over compensate.

The shoelaces WILL NOT stay tied, even just walking around or commuting. When I run in these I have to tuck the laces under themselves to prevent getting held up or tripping. Also the fabric is not breathable at all, so they smell much worse than any of my other shoes. I would not buy this style again. I'm changing the laces just to make them bearable.

Soles hard as rocks, no arch support, not comfortable. They feel flimsy. I have used Merrell Vapor Gloves for over 7 or 8 years, and loved them. Suddenly they are very hard to find, so I thought I would try these out. Can’t explain it, but the soles are thicker than the Vapor Glove, yet don’t feel it at all. These shoes are very uncomfortable. No surprise that I now have plantar fasciitis after running and exercising in them and am having to work through that. I will have to find another substitute for the Vapor Glove. These shoes definitely are not it and not worth the price tag for sure.

The box of the shoe is very shallow, so if your toes don't lie flat and even, toes rub against the top of the shoe. I bought two sizes, half-size difference, and one of the shoes in the the larger size was shorter than the shoe in the smaller size. I think there's a quality control issue with these shoes. Still waiting for a comfortable barefoot sneaker.

So.. I have been desperately trying to find sneakers with a wide toe box for the gym, lifting, multi workout and day to day. I ruined my little toes with my On clouds- which I love, but my little toes are so sore and inflamed. I have great feet, small toes, but a problem. Anyway- podiatrist recommended on Instagram with these etc. They are interesting. Love the look of the white and black over other colors, look good on foot. But.. if you have any low back issues.. stay away from bare foot shoes. Brutal on the lower back, particularly when standing on tile. And bare foot feel they are indeed if that is what you need- and no back or toe issues- they are great looking and feel- the outside of the big toe was not happy either. I wear an 8.5 without orthotic, which is the purpose of these, fit was ok except fo ray problems and the 9 - which I wear with my custom orthotic- my little toe wasn't happy. The search continues, I have to return them.

These were too small, so I returned them. They didn’t have a half size larger, so I ended up going with a different brand.

I merely put these shoes in my cart to research, then tp decide to buy or not. I didn’t even get the opportunity to study before the shoes were shipped to me without my consent. Not a happy experience. After receiving the shoes, I took one look and knew immediately they’d never fit my feet - way too small. The saving grace is Zappos has an easy return process.

Way too small. And I need to say that these shoes were merely in my “cart”, I did not place an order on them. Very disappointed in the processing of a cart item!

I’ve been looking for a new minimal sneaker. This ran so tight and awkward, going right back even though I got it at 50% off. Tried to convince myself to keep them. Nope. And yes I got a size up, as recommended. Average width foot.

Never able to adapt to running with these shoes. Wish I had paid closer attention to the lack of a return policy because I wouldn't have spent $100+ on a pair of shoes I can't use

Unfortunately my shoes fell apart after only a month of having them. Not a good purchase.

I like minimalist running shoes but these felt cheap & flimsy.
