www.XeroShoes.com Xero Shoes would like to give away a pair of their new Amuri Cloud sandals to a lucky winner! Amuri Cloud – ready-to-wear Barefootware® for MEN and WOMEN We’ve taken our ready-to-wear Venture and added a whisper of comfort with a custom-made 3mm Barefoam™ insert in the forefoot. This makes the Cloud even lighter and more flexible than the Venture… A men’s size 9 is only 4.6 ounces. The Amuri Cloud floats! Some people think of the Amuri Cloud as their casual Xero Shoe, even though it’s sturdy enough to tackle a 100-mile trail ultramarathon. Reasons you’ll love the Amuri Cloud: Four fun color combinations — Coal Black soles with Charcoal, Coal Black soles with Royal Blue, Mocha Earth soles with Black, and Royal Blue soles with Lime Green Barefoam™ forefoot insert gives a hint of comfort, without unnecessary padding Flatiron pattern on the Barefoam™ gives you extra grip 6mm FeelTrue® outsole protects you from unpleasant surfaces without sacrificing ground feel Elegant contour surrounds your foot, but doesn’t add unnecessary support Ready to wear — the lacing is already done for you. Just slide in your foot and go Patent-pending tensioning system — find the perfect fit in seconds, and then you can slide your Xeros on and off in a flash Super soft toe post — since the huaraches-inspired lacing goes around your entire foot, you don’t feel the toe post the way you do in a flip flop or other thong sandal Super STRONG toe post — won’t pull through the sole like flip flops do Heel cup — keeps your heel in place, helps keep out debris, and adds a splash of color Silicone Achilles strap — makes the lacing feel “not there” Elevated ankle holes — the lace never touches the ground, and so it won’t abrade 5,000 mile warranty! Wear out your Amuri Clouds in under 5,000 miles and we’ll replace them for the cost of shipping and handling (details here) Get the right size for your Amuri Cloud: Barefoot sandals don’t fit the same way as shoes, or other sandals. Just because you wear, say, a size 10 Nike Free, that doesn’t mean you’ll wear a size 10 Amuri Cloud (and, I’m willing to bet you have other shoes that are 9.5 or 10.5… so are you really a 10 ?) http://xeroshoes.com/shop/feeltrue-products/amuri-cloud-mens-barefoot-sandal/ Adjusting your Amuri Cloud for a perfect fit: Follow these simple video instructions to get the “just right” tension.

As a relative newcomer to Barefoot running after many years of "Normal" running shoes, my challenge is to stay minimalist for the rest of my days, these would bring me one step closer to that goal
