I like zero drop, low stack, lightweight shoes and I workout everyday. These are better than New Balance Minimus or Merrill vapor glove. I dont think theyll last as long, but theyre more comfortable than either and I have completely switched over to Xero.

I sadly lack the diction and vocabulary to explain how fantastic these shoes are. Go out of your way to get a pair. Until you wear them it's hard to explain. Rethink comfort and support. Get back to basics folks. Love my Xeros!

These shoes are great! The HFS are my first pair of xero shoes and I couldn't be happier. They're super comfortable and hold up to my training really well. I'm already considering what my next pair will be.

Great shoes and style. They do run small by one size, I normally wear size 12 and purchased size 13. The only feedback I would give is to purchase an insole. I didn’t purchase a pair and when I wore these shoes the insoles creeped towards my foot heel. I had to remove my shoe and fix my soles in place. Overall the shoes is awesome!!!

My son has a narrow fit and these were pretty wide for him :(. Probably fine for most feet.

Xero Shoes says this model runs small, but the men's size 14 seems to fit normally.

I wear a 10.5 EE width in my running shoes and wear a retail orthotic. I ordered Xero 11's hoping to get a little more room. These 11s were snug/tight in width and snug but OK in length. I use them for treadmill workouts and they are just fine. Better than bulky running shoes. Light weight. Replaced the insole with orthotic insoles. Nice.

Best fit in a running shoe I’ve ever had. Really let’s the foot just do it’s thing. And, while the sole is thin it’s tough at the same time, allowing you to step on sharp rocks and not be in pain.

Wear a women's 9.5M -- Ordered a Men's 8.5M and it fit well. Returning only because of the color. The "Crimson" is more of a sickly orange/red. If you're looking for a retro-look shoe -- this one works!

So I am not a fan of barefoot shoes, so my first time out was a little jarring. That said, these are super-light and feel almost like I have nothing on. The toe box felt just a little cramped, so maybe ordering an extra size up would be your cup of tea if you don't like the tip of your big toe brushing against the front of your shoe. Overall style is super snazzy, probably the best thing about this purchase.

I really wanted to love these (and tried twice). I love the whole idea of "minimal" shoes, especially since they emphasize the wide toe box. Sadly, though, they are not wide enough for my Flintstone feet. The shoes are indeed wide, but there is still a slight taper to the toe that doesn't work with my feet. I tried going up to a larger size and switching over to men's sizing as the Xero site suggests, but the shape of the toe is still the problem for me.

I really like my HFSs! Ive bought two pairs now. They are very comfortable and offer my feet a snug fit. My only complaint is that the tread seems to degrade at a faster pace than other minimalist shoes Ive worn in the past. I primarily walk on pavement/concrete with these, and the tread wears thin after approximately 6 months of walking.

Love the shoes! Love them. The laces started coming apart less than a week after I got them. Will buy again, but will make sure to look at other laces.

I thought they were going to be a little narrow as compared to the prio (they are) but they still feel great and have great ground feel. Great for drumming and walking. Im not a runner but I care about my health in general and loving having flexible shoes. Ive been into the barefoot movement for a while and for everyday use and my lifestyle (musician, bodyboarder), theyre great for anything really.

The only reason that these dont get five stars is because the traction on wet surfaces isnt so great. Other than that, they are perfect everyday shoes!

I really like the light weight but for me with a wider foot, even broken in now they are still too narrow. I personally would prefer the same width as the Prio.

Great minimalist running shoe however the laces and eyelet on the tongues are fall apart easily. Expect more for $120 pair of shoes

I got them because of the wide toe area and to have something on my feet when I work out.

I want to like minimalist shoes. These look pretty good. But the lack of cushioning really is a problem.

Review indicated should order half size larger. Did so and found shoe was half size too large. Returned for true size. Shoe was very light, wide fit for comfort, with no arch support and flat. Felt more like a hard sole slipper fit. Purchased to use during my bodybuilding\gym workouts. Prefer more support and a tighter fit along with a flat sole for gym. Returned again, since the shoe was not
for me.

This shoe is very small and narrow. I might try it in a larger size.
