What makes Xero Shoes the best barefoot running shoes? We were invited to show our previously named Invisible Shoes running sandals (well, walking, hiking, working out, hanging out, too) on television. So we asked some of our customers who liked the idea of being on TV if they would submit a short “Why I like […]

Barefoot Running Sandals vs. Running Shoes
A barefoot running vs. running shoes “infographic” I’m get all geeky over well-presented information, and the graphic about barefoot running and regular running shoes from XRayTechnicianSchoools.net is a pleasure. Whenever someone says to me “Barefoot running can cause injuries” I remind them of the fact in 1/3 of the infographic: 90% (I heard 80%) of […]
How Barefoot is Barefoot, Really?
Okay, Pop Quiz time: Which of the following fictitious barefoot running shoes gives you more of a barefoot feel: a.) ASICs Nuttinâ-2C with a 10mm thick sole b.) Brooks Zilch-City with a 1mm thick sole If you answered B, youâre mistaken. But if you answered A, youâre also wrong. Yes, my apologies, but this was […]
The little lie of barefoot running
As the barefoot running boom continues to explode, itâs important that we debunk the mythology thatâs sprung up and face some facts. And perhaps the most obvious fact is this: If you run with anything between your skin and the ground, you are not barefoot runner. Let me say that again. If you wear Vibram […]
Hey Barefooters: do you have Shoeguiltitis? We have your cure.
Oh, the joys of being barefoot. We will all be able to look back and think of this time as âthe enlightenmentâ when we finally ditched our constrictive foot coffins and let our toes emerge, shaking and crooked, to see the light and heal. The more you adjust to ditching the shoes, the more you […]

Orthotics vs. Barefoot Running
The only time I’ve worn anything other than my huaraches or my sprinting spikes in the last 16 months has been the 3 times I put on my old running shoes… so I could shovel snow. Those shoes have my $200 orthotics in them. And each time I’ve put them on, I have the same […]
Can you really run in huaraches?
When you’re used to hanging out with barefoot runners or, at least, with people who’ve read Born To Run, you forget how “normal people” think. One of the questions I’m most asked by non-barefoot people is: “Can you really run in those?” What amazes me about this question is not how people have forgotten that, […]
Huaraches vs. Toning Shoes
Want to know if you should get some toning shoes or a pair of Xero Shoes minimalist shoes? Well, I have an opinion, but maybe these people say it better than I could. http://www.theonion.com/articles/do-toning-shoes-really-work,18445/
Xero Shoes running clothes, mugs and more…
Do runners wear ties? I live in Boulder, CO, so I’m the wrong guy to ask. “Formal” wear in Boulder means *black* fleece đ But if you’re the kind of person who wears a tie sometimes… or if you’re one of the people who has asked about Xero Shoes hats, mugs and, yes, TIES, check […]
