    Skora Base shoe review

    The Base is a great concept and decent shoe, but I'm learning that foot shape varies wildly from person-to-person and shoe-to-shoe. Had to do a bit of a hack on the shoe to get it to work for me, too. /lolMcGyver http://unshodandunashamed.blogspot.com/2012/09/minimalist-shoe-review-skora-base.html

    And nobody ever accused the Army about being "cutting edge" when it comes to physical fitness.
