My feet are 2E to 3E wide, so i used a shoe stretcher and wore multiple layers of socks for stretches of time to stretch them in the right places. After that they have been great for lifting and daily wear in my beginning of my barefoot shoe journey. They also look great and i've gotten plenty of compliments. I also have the bare-xf pro. I haven't had any durability issues with the bare xf, but the pro are way more substantial and durable feeling. The fabric is thicker and the rubber is stiffer on sides and outsole. I put the boomerang insole in the pro to make it more comfortable. Review: The best of the barefoot experience - Have tried a few different brands of this type and to me these are the best by a distance. Love the fit, flexibility, and also the grip is the best (an area where another name-brand shoe failed big time). Even great on the treadmill and overall fantastic indoors and outdoors. After heavy use they are proving to be super durable as well. Highly recommended! ## Features - Grippy Rubber Outsole: Keep your footing with our 2.5mm thick grippy rubber outsole. Lightweight grip for any gym-based exercise, including weightlifting, cardio, functional movements, walking and running. - No Midsole = More Natural Feel: Feel the ground beneath you. A close to the ground design gives you a more natural/barefoot feel. Most gym shoes have a thick wedge of midsole foam to cushion impacts. The BARE-XF does away with this to enhance spatial awarenss and control of your feet. - Engineered Air Mesh Upper: A seamless and highly breathable engineered mesh and 3D printed upper construction combine to keep your feet cool and dry during intense workouts. At the same time a supportive Met-Cradle wraps protectively around your foot to keep you stable during high impact exercise. - BOOMERANG Footbed: Preserve your energy with the BOOMERANG Footbed. The insoles feature hundreds of foam beads that compress and spring back for 40% energy return during your stride. Perfect for longer cardio sessions, where maximising every bit of energy counts. - ROPE-TEC: Protection and durability during rope climbs. ROPE-TEC technology embedded into the midsection of the outsole, around the arch of the foot and the shoe's upper gives protection from friction on rope climbs, and delivers increased durability. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CPJ3XJ3N | | ASIN | B0DGKK9C3D | | Best Sellers Rank | #150,381 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #73 in Men's Cross-Training Shoes | | Brand | INOV8 | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Color | Black | | Cushioning Level | Minimal | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (94) | | Date First Available | December 3, 2021 | | Department | mens | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Good | | Has Shoe Adjustability | Yes | | Heel Type | Flat | | Insole Cushioning | Foam | | Insole Material | Rubber | | Item Weight | 2.43 Pounds | | Item model number | 001154 | | Manufacturer | INOV8 | | Manufacturer | inov-8 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 001154-BK-W-001 | | Material Fabric | Synthetic | | Model Name | Bare-xf™ | | Number of Items | 12 | | Occasion Lifestyle | Casual | | Occasion Type | Work | | Outer Material | Synthetic | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | All | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Special Features | Breathable, Flexible | | Specific Uses For Product | Sports | | Sport Type | Cross Training | | Strap Type | Fabric | | Style Name | Bare-xf™ | | Style Number | 001154-BK-W-001 | | Subject Character | Barbie | | Theme | Sports, Character | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | lining-description | Natural Rubber | ## Images ![Men's Bare-XF - Barefoot Training Shoes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wWAp7LP9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great shoes so far *by K***P on January 1, 2026* These have been great shoes.

Love the fit, flexibility, and also the grip is the best (an area where another name-brand shoe failed big time). Even great on the treadmill and overall fantastic indoors and outdoors. After heavy use they are proving to be super durable as well. Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent everyday use *by C***M on October 13, 2024* I would say I have a pretty average toe box width. Been wearing everyday for about three months now. Just for everyday use and lifting. Occasional sprints. After about two months I started running 5k’s in them. After trying them out I prefer running in my altra’s (escalante). However just wearing these innov8’s around made it possible to switch from my hoka’s to my altra’s for all my runs now. In switching to zero drop shoes, I had to change my gate. I didn’t realize how badly I was landing on my heals with hoka’s and as a result I’m much faster now. Shaved about 6 mins off my total 5k time. I can’t even consider going back to regular toed shoes. Shoes I used to love have become foot prisons. So 1 star because these shoes have ruined all traditional shoes for me, jk. Seriously glad I made the switch. Much easier said than done. Just make sure you look up proper running technique if you’re considering switching as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/679939065-mens-bare-xf-barefoot-training-shoes](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/679939065-mens-bare-xf-barefoot-training-shoes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
