Very nice updates, I'm excited to try some of them. I have a few Xero shoes already, I wear my HFS whole year round (even for dog walks in the middle of pretty cold winter) I almost forget to take them off when showering. Some time ago I've sent an email to Xero asking if Aptos can be worn as a collapsible heel slipper, and now there's an actual collapsible heel slipper. Side note, the other day I was chilling on a beach in the north coast of Croatia in my HFS, and I saw a young lady passing by also in HFSs. I'm really happy for Xero to have so wide reach, I feel you guys really deserve it!
I love the speed force! I can't wait to see what the new speed forces have and feel like. My problem with them is that the sole wears out quick, within 8 months to a year of usage, everyday of the week. So I'm hoping good things from the upgrade!
Damn this is exciting! Absolutely LOVE the new Speedforce in white. Nexus knit is like a Primus Lite Knit done right. Will be buying a few of the new models to review. Now some suggestions/critisisms. Absolutely LOVE the Scrambler Low. Cant wait to try the Michelin sole on a light and breathable trail shoe. But what on earth is going on with the colours. Don't need "90s workout video" vibes on a trail shoe. Where is the green and the brown? It NEEDS some earthy colours for the trails. Love the Mesa WP, so please add a forest colour just like the other Mesas. New HFS colours are also way too "90s workout video". Needs some more colours similar to HFS1. And again, maybe some forest/green options? Also the new sole is almost a trail sole. Not sure it will feel as smooth or last as long on pavement as the original HFS. Kona is awesome. Needs a brown version for a full classic look! Pagosa needs a real wool version. I'd be all over that! Ridgeway looks awesome but also needs some classic colours like forest and I'd make some slight changes to the colour combinations on the brown version. Overall great news! Waiting for the scrambler mid WP now.
Thanks for your feedback! We are happy to hear that you are liking the new designs and styles and we will also be passing along your feedback about the colors to our design team, so hopefully we can offer those colors in the future!
Looks interesting! Btw, I'm hoping the new Michelin soles are not as slippery as the ones on the Xcursion Fusion. I love everything about my Xcursion Fusionsexceptlt how slippery they are on streets/sidewalks that are wet. It rains a lot here in the UK, and I never feel very secure wearing them outdoors in the rain. soon I'm hoping to try the Ridgeway or the Scramblers Low soon, but really hope the soles are less slippery when wet!? The Nexus Knit also looks like it might even work as a good CrossFit shoe (I currently wear my Xero 360s for CrossFit, unless we're running a lot), so will be trying that one as well.
Love my Xeros, but I'm still waiting on a safety toe boot. There aren't any good options out there. The best you can do on the current market is buy zero drop. I'd buy a barefoot safety toe boot from Xero immediately
Pagosa is interesting. But I am very disappointed that it is "faux" wool so it is, I assume, all essentially plastic? I would be blown away if it was REAL WOOL.
So how thick will the sole for the new HFS be? I use the HFS (which I absolutely love) without the insole so I'm on 5.5mm sole and I'd like to not go thicker than 6mm, I hope this will be the case for the HFS II as well. However, I read about the added Barefoam layer of 3mm, which sounds like a lot, so I hope it didn't add on to a new sole thickness of 8.5mm.
Odd question, would the Scrambler Low or the Mesa Trail WP be a good pair to wear for soccer on artificial grass/turf? The rubber lugs look rugged enough to provide sufficient traction on those playing surfaces. I once had a pair of the Aqua X Sport that I wore for soccer coaching because they had the lugs. I should have vouched for the Mesa Trail at the time because the soles on the Aquas completely fell apart over time after many sessions and pickup games. Are there any other soccer players or athletes out there looking for a barefoot option for footwear? Seems like quite the dilemma.
We haven't heard a ton of feedback in regards to this, however we have had customers who wore the TerraFlex II for this purpose more casually. If you happen to try these out for soccer, we would love to hear about how they work!
If you are referring to our sweepstakes, that will only be on our EU and US sites. If this is in reference to something else, please send a screenshot to support@xeroshoes.com and they should be able to provide more information.
I would like to ask about the mesa trail waterproof,if they have good grip in the city,at wet roads or pavements.most of the trail shoes have very good grip at trails but in the city when it rains they slip.or is there any other model you could propose me for city use but waterproof? thank you.
Currently, our waterproof styles will be trail shoes such as the Ridgeway, Xcursion Fusion, and Alpine. You could look at water-resistant styles like our Denver, which would work better as an every day shoe.
Hey you guys still working on making a safety shoes so I can wear proper shaped shoes while at work? I would absolutely buy a pair and a heartbeat and tell all my co-workers
Some styles do fit differently, so if there are any that jump out at you that you are unsure of in terms of the width and fit, don't hesitate to contact our Customer Happiness team at support@xeroshoes.com and they can assist you with finding the right size and pair for you.
I bought a pair after listening to this guy talk about where the idea came from, I got the impression they were made in the USA so I ordered a pair only to see them tagged as MADE IN CHINA, I was very disappointed and I just knew they were poor quality, they are very uncomfortable and make my feet hurt, I totally regret not buying from VIVO, I plan to donate them to Salvation Army end of this month.....🤗

Our team is also happy to chat further with you if you email support@xeroshoes.com - we're happy to be transparent but this convo is much longer than what can be had on social media.
Customer service is non existant. Phone is unanswered with a recorded message directing you to email, email has gone unanswered for a week and online chat via their website goes unanswered. Im happy to edit this comment if you make it right.
Sorry, we hear you and we’re actively working on it. We recently switched to a new Customer Service platform to help remedy the situation but are still working out the kinks. Please email me at rachel@xeroshoes.com and I’ll escalate your inquiry for our team.
Really disappointing launch for EU. No Speedforce 2?! Why? It's the most interesting shoe in this launch. Also limited colour options and there is no restocking of all other models that are out of stock like the Glenn and even the Dillon in white. All this hype for nothing.
Some of our new styles are currently exclusive to our US website, however they may arrive on our EU site in the future. That said, we also offer international shipping through our US website. As for restock information, you can sign up for restock notifications via our newsletter here: bit.ly/newsletter-ni
The two will essentially be the same thing in terms of footwear. Our main concept is to allow you to move naturally, as if you were barefoot, but with protection!

Those fake-out soles are great. Improves the look by a lot.
Love these shoes!!! Some are more comfortable than others but nonetheless I’m happy

Well, I do live in Kona. That's a nice casual shoe.
Damn this is exciting! Absolutely LOVE the new Speedforce in white.

Ordered the nexus knit. Without a doubt the best looking barefoot shoes! They look so casual!
Looks interesting!

I plan on buying two zero shoes and Huaraches this year before December
excited to get my hands on the new trail running variants!

This is very high on our to-do list, so hopefully we will be able to offer some in the future!
👀 Could that scrambler low be able to be used for golf shoes??
We have had a lot of customers use the Mesa Trail II for golf in the past, so the Scrambler Low should work well for that same purpose.
Pagosa is interesting. But I am very disappointed that it is "faux" wool so it is, I assume, all essentially plastic? I would be blown away if it was REAL WOOL.

However, I read about the added Barefoam layer of 3mm, which sounds like a lot, so I hope it didn't add on to a new sole thickness of 8.5mm.
The HFS II will be 1.5mm thicker than the original HFS.
@@xeroshoes Thank you for answering! Will be buying another pair of the original HFS quick because I just love them too much!
I really like the Mesa Trail WP.
Could you please provide the stack height details for the Nexus Knit?
The stack height for the Nexus Knit will be 6.0mm.
👏 exciting!
Ordered the Nexus Knit, they look great! The Dillons didn't fit my feet. So I hope the best this time.
Please bring back Oswego! I love my shoes but I got a bleach stain on 1 ;(
I misses my chance to pickup a spare.

Nice styles but the toe box is always too narrow for me now on Xero shoes.
Some styles do fit differently, so if there are any that jump out at you that you are unsure of in terms of the width and fit, don't hesitate to contact our Customer Happiness team at support@xeroshoes.com and they can assist you with finding the right size and pair for you.
Hfs2 for US only???
The HFS II will be available on our main website (xeroshoes.com), which will ship internationally.
@@xeroshoes but u will add it later to EU site?

barefoot-inspired shoes not barefoot shoes?!
The two will essentially be the same thing in terms of footwear. Our main concept is to allow you to move naturally, as if you were barefoot, but with protection!
No such thing as a barefoot shoe, the worlds are opposites. Barefoot inspired is more correct.
You should state clearly on your website these are manufactured in China. If it is on your site - please share the link.
