Xero Shoes: Thank you!

Just a very quick post to say thanks to Xero Shoes UK who sent me a pair of their very cool looking 4mm Huarache style sandles today. I opted for the DIY kit as I fancied finalising them myself. I am really excited to get these fitted when I have a spare moment later this week and give them a go.

Sadly the weather is not great here at the moment for huarache style shoes. We currently have about 4-6 inches of snow! Therefore, give me a few weeks to try these properly and time for the weather to improve and I will review them for you all.



Below is a picture of the DIY kit that you receive when you order a pair of Xero Shoes. You have the option of 4mm or 6mm sole thickness. I chose the thinner 4mm as I prefer the minimal space between my foot and the ground, and maximum proprioception.

NOTE: the hole punch and hair clip to help with lacing, seen in the picture, comes with the kit! What a great thought from an obviously thoughtful company!!!

Anyway, if you want any more info the website is http://www.xeroshoes.co.uk/ or get hold of me on the comments section below for any questions you would like answered. Wish me all the best fitting them later this week :-)

Thanks again Xero Shoes UK.

Happy bareform running

  1. Best of luck ;)

    BTW, now that the updated MT10v2 is available in the UK, any chance that you will get a pair and take them for a spin in the snow? I am planning to get a pair myself, but I still have two pairs of the good old MT10's to wear down before the missus lets me :) Cheers!

    1. I would love to try them out if NB send me a pair to review. At the moment I am mainly using my VFF Spyridon and also the LS version too. They are the only shoe that I have found is comfy, durable and just about grippy enough. I am waiting for warmer weather and dryer conditions before the Xero shoes get a good testing!
