    Xero Shoes Amori Venture Review

    Quick note... we have a new and improved lacing system for the Venture and Cloud as well ... see www.xeroshoes.com/shop/amuri And, yes, by late April, when we get our shipment from the factory, we'll have a "retrofit" kit, so you can use the new lacing system on the previous products.

    XERO SHOES NEW Z-TREK SANDALS REVIEW

    I know that some people hate it when I say this, but here goes anyway: Both "slapping" and blisters have the same cause. In short, a form-related issue. And BOTH can be the perfect "training aid" to help improve form. That is, once you experiment to discover how to reduce/eliminate sound...

    Thanks for the review, Saff. FWIW, though, the sizing chart is actually 100% correct. If you you print it out at full size, 100% scale, you'll see they match the wearable size of the shoes exactly. The chart was based on the blueprints we used to make the actual shoes.

    XERO SHOES AMURI CLOUD REVIEW

    When you lace a pair of huaraches correctly the lace doesn't cause abrasion... that's why we have people who've run 100-mile ultramarathons in Xero Shoes. I've put tens of thousands of miles on mine in the last 5 years, without any abrasion issues.

    XERO SHOES AMURI CLOUD REVIEW

    Wow, I'm stunned again. The "heel tube" is made of really soft silicone and, once again, out of 7,000 customers, you're the first to report feeling that mold line (which is a fraction of a tenth of a millimeter). In fact, again, every comment prior to this one has been about how comfortable...

    XERO SHOES AMURI CLOUD REVIEW

    I'm confused by this... what lines in the heel are you feeling? There are no lines "in" the heel cup. If you could show me where on your foot you're feeling something, and match that to a photo of you in the sandal, that might be helpful. I'm not saying you're doing what I'm about to describe...

    XERO SHOES AMURI CLOUD REVIEW

    Wow... this is the worst review any of our products have ever received. Let's see if I can address some of the points: FWIW, "slapping" is a form issue and not some function of the flexibility of the sole. If you foot meets the ground under your center of mass, with relaxed joints, there...

    Thanks, Moku. BTW, slapping comes from one of 4 things: 1) Too-loose lacing; 2) Too long; 3) Overstriding (when running or walking); 4) Not "using" your foot when you walk. Let me talk about 4 -- when you walk, you can either place your foot (often, heel-first) on the ground and let the...

    Oh, and 5.5mm is because if you want to recess the toe post or toe knot, you need something to hold it in place. If you go any thinner, the recessed area would be too weak and the lace would pop right through. Also, as more and more people began buying Xero Shoes who are not die-hard...

    The heel cup actually has 3 purposes. For some, it helps keep the foot from sliding off (this isn't usually an issue if you have the lace tension right, hence, "for some"). It also helps keep debris out. Not perfectly, of course, since that's not possible. But we have one Venture wearer who...

    Hey, everyone... this is my first moment of downtime since the show aired 8 days ago. Thanks SO much for your support. To answer the question about sales: Last week was equal to about 2 good Summer months! I think I had 15 hours of sleep the whole week. Regarding rubber and string, someone...
