Key features
Key features of the Speed Force II focus on a barefoot feel, secure fit, and flexible traction.
- Flexible FeelTrue® rubber sole designed to deliver a low, ground‑close ride (thin, highly flexible outsole).
- Adjustable instep and midfoot strap system that locks the foot in place for faster reps and agile movement.
- Removable thin insole so you can dial in more or less barefoot sensation.
- Breathable, welded mesh upper with a smooth lining for a sock-like fit and added durability.
- Wide toe box and zero-drop platform to promote natural toe splay and a low-to-the-ground posture.
- Chevron-style tread for sure-footed traction on pavement and packed dirt; backed by a long-distance sole warranty.
Comfort and fit
The Speed Force II delivers a sock-like, anatomical fit that emphasizes toe-room and natural foot movement.
The adjustable straps let you customize the midfoot and heel hold, while the removable insole lets you choose a truer barefoot feel versus a touch of cushioning. The wide toe box keeps the toes free to splay during push-off, and the zero-drop sole supports a low, balanced stance.
Traction, terrain and use cases
The Speed Force II suits speed training, short tempo runs, gym sessions, and light off-road use on packed dirt or smooth trails.
The flexible FeelTrue outsole with chevron tread provides immediate ground feedback and dependable grip on hard surfaces and well-packed trails; it is not intended as a heavily cushioned or rugged trail shoe for technical or rock-strewn routes.
Materials and practical notes
The upper uses a breathable welded mesh with a silky lining for comfort and durability, and the shoe is constructed without animal products.
Because the design prioritizes a minimal, barefoot experience, expect a thin outsole and low cushioning compared with traditional running shoes—choose this shoe if you prefer natural foot motion over added padding.
Who this shoe is for
The Speed Force II is best for runners and athletes who want a true barefoot-like trainer for speed work, tempo runs, and versatile gym or court use; it’s also a fit for anyone who values a secure strap fit and wide toe box.
It is not the best choice if you require substantial cushioning, heavy trail protection, or maximal stability features.
