Xero's FeelTrue technology in the outsole
In the outsole of the shoe is a durable rubber material called FeelTrue®. This type of outsole is perfect for barefoot running. It is a high-abrasion material that is strong enough to protect the foot from sharp rocks and hard surfaces. This flexible outsole also allows the foot to bend, flex and move naturally.
The tread pattern in the FeelTrue® rubber outsole also improves the shoe’s gripping performance.
Reduce foot and knee pain with the Xero Shoes Speed Force midsole
The Xero Shoes Speed Force uses the XERO-drop sole that helps reduce foot and knee pain. With zero drop platform, the forefoot and heel sections have the same distance from the ground. This material provides better ground contact and helps the runner maintain good balance and agility. Other running shoes that have zero drop midsoles are the Altra Escalante 1.5 and Altra Torin 3.0.
The Xero Shoes Speed Force’s midsole offers just-right protection, support, and comfort to the foot. The shoe’s wide toe box and non-elevated heel help the user maintain proper posture while walking or running.
The shoe has a removal insole, allowing the user to adjust the amount of cushioning and barefoot feel.
Dry and lightweight running experience with the Xero Shoes Speed Force upper
The upper of Xero Shoes Speed Force is made up of a silky smooth lining that delivers a real barefoot feeling. It is lightweight and breathable, keeping the foot dry and comfortable all day long.
