    T Rocket Yetis Running Sandals

    A glorious introduction to Andrew Barnes' excellent T Rocket Yetis. I was lucky enough to win a pair during the summer, and, after a few exchanges with Andrew who impressed me with the care and attention he took in making sandals that would fit well, they have arrived. I've taken them out on a...

I normally take an EU size...

    Paleos Chain Mail Shoes: A Step Backwards?

    Hi Hobbit, Here's what is said on the paleo website on the matter of thorns: http://portal.gost-barefoots.com/en/FAQ#Thorns_and_insect_bites_ I haven't experienced thorns with them, and definitely feel more protected with them than without.

    Paleos Chain Mail Shoes: A Step Backwards?

    Those of us who make the transition from shod to barefoot running are aware of various paradoxes that dog the whole business - the very notion of barefoot shoes is an obvious one, but, in my case, there was the conflict between embracing minimalism on the one hand, and having a garage full of...
