I've owned 360's, Prio, and Zelen which is a hybrid of HFS (same sole I believe). For my feet... the 360's are my favorite shoe. The fit and feel is amazing. The sole on the 360 is the best in my opinion. I better stock up on the 360's in case they ever discontinue them.
Love the 360s, i daily'd them for about 1.5 years. The fabric in-between the grooves and the suede of the toe ripped on both shoes on the outside layer fabric. Its a small tear about 1cm. Traction still 10/10.
Why do you like the HFS? Do they offer a bit more protection than Prios? I have Prios but I’m looking for something similar but with a tad bit more stack height/protection.
In my experience, the Prio fits true-to-size good for walking and skating, HFS is 1/2 size too small and great for running, the 360 has a cramped toe box.
@@rexinfx1 I personally did not and I still have a bit of room at the end of the toe box. IMO, if you normally have a fair amount of length in your true-to-size shoes, then TTS in the 360 should be fine. If you're normally hitting the end of your shoe's toe boxes, then a half size up could be the move!
I would say for the sole, between the HFS and Prio, the Prio is definitely more durable. Which is unfortunate because I found that the Prio was also less grippy. I wore both the Prio and HFS as a daily shoe, and when walking places that are wet both inside and outside on roads etc, I would actually have to worry about sliding in my prios, especially at work in a kitchen, but I didn't have that problem with the HFS (mild slippage if the floor at work was oily or wet, but much less so than the Prio) The HFS sole's durabilty was quite lacking, I think I've had mine for a year and a half maybe, and not only are there bald spots, but two holes in each, and I only walk in them... Sometimes on a bit of gravel, but nothing intense, same places I wore the Prios at. The Prios held up for a few years, and are still quite useable, few mildly bald spots on the treads, but I no longer wear them because the grip just isn't to my liking. Would you say the 360 is better in both grip and durability? I really like to be able to have my shoes for years!
The 360’s sole would be most comparable to the Prio, IMO. If you’re wearing them for daily wear and training, then you may see the tread deplete a little faster, but for generally wear they should last you a while!
@@thatfitfriend Thanks for your feedback! I might consider the 360 then, at least now I have other barefoot daily shoes to handle work conditions with slippage.
The grip for the HFS Was pretty good for some things but unlike snow or mud or even like running on dry asphalt and quickly turning you'll get some slips. But everything else about HFS is really great. It's even got some water resistance in there.
Yeah the tread on it isn’t the best for those terrains or super quick turns for sure. The Mesa Trail is a tad better for trail-like terrain, but even that model could use slightly beefier lugs
Really great review!!! You do an outstanding job of explaining their differences and who these shoes are for based on one’s training style. Really awesome!!!
Great overview. I'm looking for a trainer casual shoe I can wear outside. Live in New England, so need it to be a sneaker that works year round casually (including snow days) along with the athletic characteristics. I just purchased a Kelso (on account of its mostly leather uppers) which is in transit. Ofc, its my first barefoot shoe, so needed a place to start. Any recommendations, Xeros or otherwise? Activity wise, I do lifting, running on pavement and (might get into Crossfit next) but also a good amount of cycling and walking around town.
Vivobarefoot Primus Trail Knit FG can be solid, then weatherproof them and you're cooking with gas. Xero Mesa Trail can also be surprisingly solid here!
Thank you! And yeah, I rock them often without! Just have to be conscious of them getting stinky though if you’re sweating a ton in them (well…at least I do 😅)
@Conrad Donovan lesson learned on my end…my gf one day was like NEVER AGAIN am I letting you go sockless in your shoes. When you have like 30 pairs of trainers laying around, too…lessons learned…
Excellent review man! Ive been thinking of buying these shoes although you said light to moderate running and I was a bit confused as to how many miles is “light to moderate”? So Im training for triathlon and Ill run 1-3 miles, 2-3 per week, therefore I was wondering if you still recommend that hybrid shoe? When I do 5K runs, my feet seem to cramp up, not sure if its my weight, the shoes or combo of both which is why Im thinking of changing to barefoot shoe. Thanks again for great info!
Thank you! Honestly, I need to do a better job at defining that in reviews. Light = 1-3 mi Mod = 4-6 mi Yeah, it’s a solid hybrid shoe for those asks! These will definitely take some acclimating to, so definitely go slow as you ease into a barefoot shoe from a tradition training/running shoe!
@@thatfitfriend thanks for replying so quickly. What type of shoe do you recommend for longer runs, like 8-20 miles? Im definitely not there yet but plan to if I continue competing in longer triathlons.
@@aldishidalgo4574 It really depends! If you're getting cramping, then that would be something to look into on top of looking into new shoes. My advice, visit a local running store where you can chat with someone and they can look at your anatomy/gait to suggest a good model that is specific to your training goals! It's really hard for me to say without more context in this case because you have specific goals and needs atm!
Any chance you’d do a super budget video of the recent “clones” of the old Merrell Vapor Gloves and Trail Gloves - the TSLA and Whitin shoes? They’re great for deadlifting and functional/plyo movements.
@@thatfitfriend yeah, no complaints - these seem as well made as the original Vapor Gloves (which I owned 3 or 4 pairs of) - very similar uppers that may break down like the Vapor Gloves did. As a tangent, I also wear these as my winter indoor shoes instead of slippers, since a wool sock is easier to clean than slippers and these have much better traction than most slippers.
@@ChronicWatClesNarnia dig that and thank you for the insights here. Will try to get this video up in the next few weeks. Thanks for nerding out on shoes with me 💪
So I am trying to get more suggestions on which shoe to purchase. I am currently just barely getting back into working out and starting with short walk/jog/runs (maybe 2-3 miles at a time). Eventually I might do some other agility HIIT workouts and light lifting (dumbbells mostly). I have not worm barefoot shoes in about 5+ years (Vibram KSM) so know how to wear them but way out of practice. I will run mostly on streets and horse trails (think sandy, dirt, and very dusty). I like the HFS design but am worried since I read negative reviews that dirt/dust gets inside really easily. Since I want to wear these all day without having to change for workouts I would not like the idea of getting dirty. The 360 sounds good as well since it seems durable and possible protect from the dirt. The Prio seems well rounded, but also a fairly old design so was concerned. Any suggestions would be great, thank you. * I forgot to mention that I own a pair of Reebok Nano 5's, and the top of those dig into the top of my foot and cause pain if worn for more than 30 minutes, so looking for now pain.
Got you! The Speed Force could be a good option to explore as well. They tend to be a bit easier to wipe down if they get dirty due to their upper construction. I think the HFS would be okay for the most part sans the very dusty settings, but a lot of shoes (not made for trails etc.) will run into issues in that terrain. My thoughts go to Speed Force and HFS from Xero Shoes.
@@thatfitfriend Do you think the 360, or even a Prio would work. I am not sure how much mesh is on the top of those, but didn't want to spent $100+ to find out. I thought about the TerraFlex II or Mesa Trail, but the nubs on those look like they would cause road running an issue. I live in an area where there are no sidewalks, only horse trails so I am in an odd situation. I also want these as all day wear if possible. I love your reviews and have watched all related to Xero, and a few related to other exercise shoes. By the way I am not stuck on only Xero shoes but they seem to have some great products. Thank you.
@@skelly013 the 360s breathable mesh could be problematic, IMO. The Prio would work better comparatively speaking to the 360 for your context! And thank you so much! I really appreciate that 💪
@@thatfitfriend Thanks a ton for your help. I think I will start with the Prio and if those work well for the on road and horse trail running I can look at the HFS. I think the Prio might be better for playing soccer with my son, general daily wear and limited run/walking I do. Thanks again.
@@skelly013 You're welcome, Shawn! Keep me posted on how you like them - I'm super invested now to hear your thoughts since your asks are super niche/specific!
I’m used to running in ASICS Gel Cumulus. Am interested in switching to more minimalist barefoot running shoe with a wider toe box for better foot health. What is the recommendation for a female running outdoors on hot Florida concrete?
I'd start with something like a Topo Athletic model to get a nice bridge shoe in the mix, then look into something like the HFS 2. Big key is easing in slowly and adjusting to the drop and lower stack height!
I am considering a xero for playing squash - lots of speed lunges and direction changes with much momentum transfer towards the front and big toes. Could these shoes take the stress?
Hi Jake. Appreciate the video reviews. I tried a pair of Whittin running shoes but the heel sole was very rounded and didn't feel so stable doing leg workouts. Also tried some Nano 9 which advertised as 4mm, but the drop felt closer to a 6 or 8mm drop, much more compared to Skechers GoTrain Vipers with 3mm drop I used over a year (which was my favorite).

Haze will deliver a much diff feel since it's a training shoe versus a barefoot shoe, kind of like comparing apples to oranges, so it depends on what you want in that context.
@@ApollyonApostol better than the Prio/HFS, IMO. What surfaces are you pulling on? Wooden platforms/rubber floors and do you compete? For ex, they should work on the carpet you have to lift on at USAPL meets, too.
I'm a size 12.5 and would love to try the HFS's, but there site now says, true to size...Just afraid the 13's will not have that snug feel, cause that don't offer 12.5. Any suggestions? Thanks
Good question...I think the 13 will be okay for you, honestly. Obviously, it's tough to say since I don't know your exact foot anatomy etc., but of these three models the HFS does have the most snug fit in regard to length. May be worth testing and keeping in great condition in case you do need to return them!
Budget aside, I am conflicted on buying between the 360, Prio or HFS for Daily walking on dirt/road paths. no running or lifting, just walking and the occasional hike and errand run. would you say the HFS is the best option ? thanks in advance!
Which ones have the most flexibility in the heal cuff? I have a very straight Achilles tendon, and so the backs of shoes always dig in if they have any sort of structure
So I am stuck between the HFS and the 360, I crossfit 4-5 days a week but am trying to incorporate a 2-3 mile run once or twice a week as well, I am leaning towards the 360, what do you think?
Not that it’s a bad model for daily wear by any means when just talking the HFS, but relative to these models! Tbh, they’ll work fine for you in regard to daily wear, but I personally like the tread better on the Prio and 360 for day to day which is why I have the HFS as my last pick in this context.
@@thatfitfriend legit! Honestly, I go 16 in a lot of styles, so… Of course, 6’6” and pushing 300# so smaller feet wouldn’t be such a great thing either… sigh

Tbh, they’ll work fine for you in regard to daily wear, but I personally like the tread better on the Prio and 360 for day to day which is why I have the HFS as my last pick in this context.
My HFS fits perfectly at true to size. Thumbs width of room in front of my big toe.
oh dude, u’r more clean cut!!! man, tons of women are gonna bother u.
Hahaha, highly not likely 😂
Going up 1/2 size from a 15…. Not gonna happen… 🥲
Geez, that’s a tough size!
@@thatfitfriend legit! Honestly, I go 16 in a lot of styles, so… Of course, 6’6” and pushing 300# so smaller feet wouldn’t be such a great thing either… sigh
Useful and complete review, Jake. Thanks so much and congratulations.
Thank you, Carlos!
Thank you 🤝
