Xero Shoes Men's Speed Force Minimalist Running Shoe - Lightweight Comfort, Black, 8.5

"The best running shoe I've ever worn." - Dr. Steve Gangemi The lightest, most minimalist, closest-to-barefoot shoe from Xero Shoes. You'll barely know you have it on except for the grip it gives you as you're running a personal best. And it's so light and comfy, you might forget to take it off at the end of your run... or at the end of the day, since it feels so light and natural you'll want to wear it all the time. The men's 9 in this racing-ready shoe is just 5.8 ounces. The breathable mesh upper and moisture-wicking lining make it slipper-comfortable. The 4.5mm FeelTrue rubber sole gives this sneaker a true barefoot feel -- you can remove the insole for even more sensation -- and the dual chevron tread is incredibly grippy. While we made this shoe as a racing flat, people are wearing it for practically anything -- walking, hiking, trail running, CrossFit workouts, lifting... and all-day, every day wear. Like all Xero Shoes, is't built to be NATURAL: Your feet are made to bend, flex, move and FEEL the world. One-quarter of the bones and joints in your ENTIRE body are in your feet and ankles; you have more nerve endings in your soles than anywhere but your finger tips and lips. Comfort and performance come from using your feet naturally. That's what Xero Shoes let you do. * Natural Fit -- wide toe boxes let your toes spread and relax. A non-elevated (zero-drop) heel for proper posture. * Natural Motion -- super flexible to let your feet bend and move naturally. Low-to-the-ground for balance and agility. * Natural Feel -- the patented FeelTrue soles give you just-right protection while still giving the ground feedback your brain needs for efficient, natural movement.
