Light weight, zero-drop minimalist design. FeelTrue sole provides maximum ground feedback.

Several T Nation coaches are fans of barefoot training, citing improved foot and ankle function that "works its way up" the body. The result? Better movement mechanics in the hips and lower torso. But most gyms don't allow naked feet, for good reason.

Xero shoes are designed to give you all the benefits of barefoot training while still offering protection. Their zero-drop design, thin outsole, and wide toe box works great for everything from minimalist trail running to deadlifting. – Chris Shugart
