  2. Hello from NE Arkansas

    Thank you, TJ and Maravillo. I am near Walnut Ridge. I wore the huaraches for about 6 hours today. They are ok but the knot under the toe takes a bit of getting used to. It may be that I haven't got them tied in just the right way for my foot so I'm going to try a different way tomorrow and...
