Xero Shoes Men's HFS Running Shoes - Zero Drop, Lightweight & Barefoot Feel

pain

I wore them to work and my feet were killing me for the first 3ish weeks,

but I still suffered from back, hip and knee pain which typically flared up after running (I'm not a natural).

but my calf muscles ached for the following 3 - 4 days.

but not much cushion for running and your feet will be pretty sore until you get used to them.

expensive

But I think they are a little expensive at this price and probably more suited toward weight lifting than running.

but a bit expensive, though I know that this is a bit of a niche market.

casual

However, it does make them a bit less comfortable for casual use and they do squeeze my feet fairly tightly and it means that you have to untie them everytime to put them on.

but not really suitable for an everyday casual shoe since you cannot slip it on and your toes don't really have enough room to full spread out.

work wear

walking

Pretty much like walking on concrete barefoot the entire time.

Plus the way it folds when you walk kinda crumples in a weird way and doesnt seem natural or attractive.

altra

I would probably wear something like the Altra SOLSTICE XT 2 if I was doing alot of running due to it having a bit more cushion while still being zero drop and having plenty of space in the toe box.

workout shoe

Good weight lifting shoes
As far as barefoot shoes go these are fairly normal in that they have quite a bit of structure/rigidity to them.

Overall I think they are a decent gym shoe weight lifting and some light running

I think the tight fit and  rigid structure of the shoe makes it suitable as a weight lifting shoe

I purchased half a size larger than my normal shoe size as Xero suggest and they're a good fit.

heel

Design wise I think they look pretty good, I like that they hid the heel strap inside the shoe..

light-weight

They are lightweight and feel so natural and flexible.

but not too thick, still feels light, still benefits from quick dry and looks quite stylish like an addidas, and due to the thickenss of the meshing when you walk it folds in a natural way and doesn't look cheap and flimsy like bent cardboard or whatever.
