If someone tells me they’re having almost any problem or issue with natural running, the odds are well over 75% that the issue comes from “overstriding.” Overstriding is when you land with your foot further out in front of your body than is necessary or ideal. Watch little kids run and they almost never do […]

It happened this morning. I woke up, took one step out of bed, and felt the searing pain in my heel that’s a sure sign of plantar fasciitis. Clearly, all this barefoot running isn’t good for me and caused this horrible injury. Except that it didn’t! In fact, I’ve had a cold and barely been […]
Greg Makuch’s story is one that EVERY runner — barefoot or shod — should hear. I won’t say any more until you watch it, below. What I LOVE about Greg’s story is how he brought a sense of wonder and curiosity to his journey. “I’ll never run again… really?” “These sandals make noise… wait, if […]

I mean, multi-billion dollar companies wouldn’t lie to us just to sell product, would they? 😉 What did you make of that? Share your thoughts, comments, and questions, below… And then share this video with your friends. Watch the […]
Once you’ve gotten the hang of barefoot walking or running or hiking, you should go everywhere and do everything barefoot. It’s only natural, right? Sure, but so are uranium, hemlock, and cow poop 😉 Did that inspire any activity in your mind? Share your thoughts, comments, and questions, below… And then share this video with […]
It seems obvious that if you’ve been wearing high-heeled running shoes (or just high-heels), that you’ll want to transition slowly to barefoot by switching to a shoe with a lower heel… then lower… then lower… then lower, until you can handle barefoot. But, not surprisingly, what “seems obvious” isn’t always what it seems. So, add […]
I'm an international ultramarathon athlete and I wear Xero Shoes for races. No blisters. No smelly feet. But I also use them as my everyday sandals (they look way cool!) and I recommend Xeros to everyone.Melissa Gosse
As a barefoot runner I’ve heard lots about huaraches but it wasn’t until Steven made me my first pair (I have two) that I understood how much fun they are to run distances in!Scott McLean
Thank you for making these amazing huaraches. I love how they feel. I forget they are there so much so I have worn them to bed a few times!Tasha Riggs
If you somehow manage to wear through the outsole on your Xero Shoes, we will replace them for a nominal cost.
