Tarahumara Huarache Sandal Rocky Trail Running
I took my huaraches out to Hansen Dam in Los Angeles and put them through some thorough testing today. I ran about 10 miles on the rockiest trails I could find. My 5mm thick, four ounce Vibram-rubber soled sandals worked perfectly.
You can usually trust indigenous design when it comes to active footwear. These sandals and others similar have been around for 1000s of years, and I know why. They have no frills, just exactly what you need and not a bit more. Elegant design.
What I am also finding is that nothing gets trapped under the foot. The strapping system is the very minimum, and with no straps and other excess, the stones, sand, etc, don’t stay in.

Nice running, Ted! Those trails would be impossible for me barefoot at the moment. I see why you need those sandals!
Yanni.
check out HLTC the hungry little trail co. I helped design a trail running shoe that mimicks barefoot running. It is called the considered Humara. It is environment friendly as wel. Very little toxic glue to assemble it.

awesome, barefoot running is so natural and efficient.
i WANT SOME.
this is really awesome A great workout I may say I must try some day
HELL YEAH! Looks fun but brutal.
Cool.
The sandals I am wearing are modeled after the Tarahumara Indian sandal. It is specifically designed for being able to run long-distance in the mountains of the Copper Canyon in Chihuahua Mexico. They are relatively easy to make, but somewhat difficult to learn how to tie on correctly.
I am preparing for a 47 race ultramarathon race to be held on March 4th in Urique, Mexico. I plan on wearing my huaraches for the race. Should be interesting.
Best Regards, Barefoot Ted
Cool huaraches. I usually go to Mexico every now and then and buy myself some leather huaraches. They are hand-made by a person who makes huaraches for a living.
