    Sockwa X8

    Although its important there is at least a small amount of space at the front of any footwear, Sockwa are designed to be a snug fit and therefore I would recommend going with M12. I have narrow, high arched, 28.1cm feet and M12 X8s fit beautifully. Absolutely my favourite minimal shoe.... If...

    Hi Dama, good guess, he's 4 months now - well, 18 weeks to be exact! Time flies! He's running on the 99percentile for height at the mo and can only get in 9-12month vests so looks like he's gonna be a lanky one! I can feel the dust blinding my eyes already!!

    Hi from the New Forest, Uk

    No doubt! Having just seen a piece of medical advice that warns against backpack-type carriers pre 1 year I think I may have to exercise some patience and stick to hiking until he's up for running alongside his Dad, hmmmm, here's hoping....

    Hi from the New Forest, Uk

    Hey JT. Your not wrong about the reduced running opportunities!! I've tried running with the stroller, or buggy / pushchair as we call it on this side of the Atlantic but can't get on with it. My arms need freedom. Being a military man I plan on putting Rowan in a carrier on my back and...

    Hi from the New Forest, Uk

    Now that's a turn up for the books! Darkand, you've inadvertently hooked my wife into expressing a little more interest than the usual :rolleyes:... I owe you a drink mate! TJ - I know exactly what you mean. Only recently I put some vet wrap round my pointer's paws after a nasty cut and his...

    Hi from the New Forest, Uk

    Thanks guys, hopefully he'll make a great running partner! I'm very curious to watch his movement development and will no doubt learn a thing or two along the way. I think we'll probably make sure any shoes he does wear encourage a natural walking / running gait. I was raised in shoes of all...

    Hi from the New Forest, Uk

    Thanks guys, my avatar was a side portrait taken from an ultrasound of my son Rowan @ 20weeks. He was born on Saturday, weighing in at a healthy 9 pounds on the nose :happy: He has huge :barefoot:, which I'm hoping will come in very handy at spreading impact...
