For all who love barefoot as the most original form of movement, but want to avoid dirty soles, cuts and slanted looks! The runningpad is an ultra minimalist and elegant "barefoot shoe", made from one piece of thin leather, without seams, rivets or glue. Through fine straps the leather sole nestles up against the foot like a second skin.


Runningpads and Human Motion
The idea for the fullsoul runningpad came from the passionate long-distance, mountain and barefoot runner Dr. Martin Daumer, inspired by the evolutionary-biologically based hypothesis that man is "born to run" - as a high-temperature forefoot long-distance runner who, with his extraordinary stamina, has been able to assert himself in evolutionary hunting. Over many years he developed and tested various minimal shoe prototypes. A first milestone was the ISPO Award 2012 for the heel-free model freeheel runningpad®. He received the second ISPO Award in 2016 in the outdoor segment for the current minimal shoe fullsoul runningpad. Within the scope of his professional research activities, Martin Daumer investigates, among other things, possibilities to quantify human movement in everyday life with mobile sensor technology.

Each custom-made fullsoul runningpad is unique, made to fit the individual foot shape. The minimal shoe is cut out of one piece of thin, resistant cowhide (100% vegetable tanned) with a computer-controlled cutting plotter and finished by hand. It weighs ultralight 70 g with shoe size 43 EU (9 1/2 US) and medium leather thickness.

LET THE CONTEST BEGIN!
 
Fantastic.. I am from India and been into barefoot/minimalist running since more than 5+ years. I have used vibram fivefingers, skinners, merrel shoes etc, but haven't used any sandals kind of, so this looks like perfect opportunity to grab it. Looking forward to wear this and provides the authentic review as well. cheers - Pragnesh
 
Hi there, Happy to try those out... even if mainly running BF. Always good to put some sandals not to shock anyone when getting into a store ;-)
 
I'd love to try these since I think they will be perfect for me to assist with my musculoskeletal issues... I like the simplicity of the single piece of leather, the completely biodegradable materials and the way they look like they mould to your feet like a second skin. Fingers crossed!
 
Congrats goes to our lucky winner, #7, Nicorun! We will be contacting you soon!

Thanks to everyone who took part in our contest! Stay tuned for more in the near future!

Hi all, finally found the time (and guts) to throw the Runningpad on a slightly longer, than 2.5k) run in a trail. Track was off as I stupidly de-activated the GPS (but you can see fellow runners track: https://www.strava.com/activities/9460625297 and last 15k from here: https://www.strava.com/activities/9460144978)

In short: https://www.strava.com/activities/9460177321

Morning Run - Fullsoul Runningpad
Forgot the HR waistband and killed the GPS tracking before the ride - this allowed me to concentrate fully on my run with my brand new FullSoul Runningpad - https://fullsoul.de/

Doubtful they would last for a longer run (previous was 2.5k), I was sad this one was as short as 16k.

Even thinner than Genesis and out of leather, the RP are a fantastic way of keeping more information from the path and going for conscious running while keeping a slight protection from stones and other nettles.

I sent a ticket to STRAVA support team to add the shoe brand and can't wait for others to join.

Happy running
