TrailMax Ultra Running Sandal
Introducing the new TrailMax running sandal.The USA-made sports sandal ingeniously combines the benefits of zero-drop, barefoot footwear with jaw-dropping 65 mm (5.26 inch) of dense, anti-memory foam rubber in the sole for maximum cushioning support.The TrailMax weighs less than the Hoka but boasts more than twice the stack height. According to Boulder-based TrailMax’s creator and company president and retired orthopedist, Dr. C.U. Canyon, “This shoe was specifically developed for ultra runners who want even much more soft, springy support for all the wear and tear on their legs that running on rocky or uneven terrain for hours on end produces."The TrailMax eliminates muscle use and natural foot movement," says Canyon. "Less exhaustion means more miles... way more than you should run otherwise." One warning Canyon offers, "If you step on a pea, you'll really feel it."The TrailMax sells for $499 and will be available online April 1 and at select specialty running stores.

Running Shoes Insider Magazine - Secret edition!
After some sneaky social engineering, I got my hands on a copy of Running Shoe Insider, the magazine for running shoe makers and sellers.Up until now I had only suspected what they were really talking about behind closed doors. But now we know!Here's a photo of the cover.I'm sure you're as outraged and amazed as I am.Who knew that they actually KNOW they're making and selling foot coffins!?Pass this on to your friends, your family, the media!(And, I really hope you get that this is a joke ;-) )
This baby means business... bare footed business

The one reason to avoid barefoot running
Look, I'm the first one to say that barefoot running isn't for every person under every circumstance. Granted, I'll say that it's great for almost everyone, almost all of the time.But every now and then, you need a pair of shoes.Certain restaurants or businesses require SOME form of footwear (one of the reasons we developed Xero Shoes, in fact).As a sprinter, I wear sprinting spikes when I need to run full speed on a track.But this may be the best reason to wear shoes: When you need to open a bottle of wine and don't have a corkscrew... or just want to show off in a geeky-nerdy way:Oh, and if you're out on the trail and don't even have a wall, how 'bout a tree? (BTW, this video is WAAAAAAY funnier than the first ;-) ).Will this work with a pair of Xero Shoes? Who's going to be the first one to make a video and answer that question?
