Product Description

“The Forza Runner is by far one of the best running shoes I own. They’re not only functional but trendy as well” – James W.

Road running is now even lighter. We took our best-selling road runner, the HFS, reduced the weight, and added a sock-like, breathable, knit mesh upper that feels one with your foot. Of course we know that when you’re not running you’ll love showing off the sleek style.

The Forza Runner may feel narrow, but it will break in and stretch out. So if you think you have a REALLY wide foot, the Forza Runner may not work for you.

Forza Runner - A Minimalist Road Running Shoe that Fits Like a Sock NEW for winter 2022

FEEL CONNECTED TO YOUR WORLD WHEN YOU RUN IN THE FORZA RUNNER

READY FOR ACTION

When Italians use the term “Forza” they mean “You have the strength to do this!” The Forza Runner gives you the strength to take on your favorite road run and so much more. The knit mesh upper makes this shoe breathable and lightweight, giving it a sock-like feel. At just 213g (for each Men’s size 42), the Forza Runner is so light you won’t even know you have them on.

JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT

Protection? Or barefoot feel? You can have whichever you want with the removable 3.5mm insole. Leave it in for extra protection, or take it out for optimal ground feel.  Enjoy road-gripping traction with the tire-inspired tread design. Like any other shoe we make, our FeelTrue® rubber soles are backed with our 5,000 mile sole warranty.

WE MAKE RUNNING SHOES SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Forza Runner.
 
Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.
 
All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for better balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you the combination of grip, protection, and ground-feel your brain wants to help you Live Life Feet First.

Impossible à chausser

Pour la 1ére fois, j essaie les Forza Runner.. impossible à enfiler .. l absence de languette ne me permet d' insérer mon pied.. l espace n étant pas suffisant ni élastique. Pourquoi une telle conception ? Quelle est la procédure de remboursement voire d échange ? Dommage je n ai pas pu les tester... elles n ont jamais été utilisées..

Absolutely Amazing

TLDR: These shoes are amazing and I cannot recommend them enough! Now for the long review. For some background, I have been wearing barefoot style shoes for over a decade now and have tried almost every brand. I had even tried Xero around 2015, but at the time they only offered two sets of sandals at the time. Unfortunately they were not comfortable for me because the strap between my toes caused chafing. For that reason I had written Xero off as a Sandal brand. That was until my mother came out to visit me wearing a pair of HFS‘s last fall. They looked amazing so I figured I would try a pair as I needed a new pair of running shoes. When looking at the website these Forza Running were being offered for cheaper then the HFS so I instead bought these. I have since been so happy with my purchase as every time I come back for a run I tell my wife how amazing they are. Like the site suggests, order a half size up. If I could I would rate these a 4.99 out of five though. These shoes are amazing, but I would suggest adding the following for future iterations: 1. Adding a color way that had reflective material on the back. I mostly run at night and would like this feature for safety reasons. 2. Add an extra eyelet for a runners knot. While the shape of the back does hug my heel, I would prefer to have that extra sense of snugness. That being said I really cannot stress how amazing these are and I plan to only buy these for running in the future. Absolutely amazing job with these shoes.
