Make huaraches (Tarahumara running sandals) 1/3

[@alanbischoff7977]

Thanks dude, great! I made a pair of shoes for my wife, daughter and myself with some old shoelaces and a retired yoga mat! It took me 30 min. Thanks a lot for the tips.

[@DavidEmmanuelCohen]

Great tutorial! Thanks a lot! I finished my huarache shoes in no time! Ready to run!

[@WilkesFamilyPB]

Wow Steven! Crazy to see how far you have made it now! Sharks were dumb turning you down but I think you are better off! Stay true to your passion ;) I am considering buying your kits but after buying roughly 40 pairs of Xero Shoes for my wife and five kids, I am broke… I wish you sold these kits a little cheaper

[@marcusramirez5092]

I made my first pair today. Took 15 minutes. I don't know why I waited so long to do this. It's the closest thing sociable acceptable to being barefoot lol. I can wait to start walking and then running!

[@kph11863]

ROFL - love this reply! Regarding your toenails, I like them long, but frankly what you chose to do is your choice since they do belong to you.

[@studyprof7184]

Thanks, Steven! Great, very detailed explanations and how-to. Easy to see each and every step. Very helpful!

[@WackyZackyfication]

You should compete in Guinness world records for the longest man-toenails!

[@K1NG_HASH1R]

Lol

[@sahragorgas6484]

awsome, finally shoes for me. I've binn walking barefoot all my life but I often hurt or burn my feet in the prosses. I'm so glade I found them =) by the way love the toe nails, they're just like mine

[@Meatlordking]

Just an FYI, using tires these days is very difficult. They have layers of steel wire inside of them, making it almost impossible to cut, even with equipment like a sawzall.

[@invisibleshoes]

@Jetpilotwacker Plyos are a big help. Just getting stronger is another. I'm a huge deadlift fan. My 1RM is just under 500 lbs now; I weigh 147... and I can definitely feel the effects of that. You didn't mention your age, but at *my* age, a 7.5 60m would put you in the top 5 in the country. If I can get into the 7.6s, I'd be THRILLED.

[@invisibleshoes]

@Jetpilotwacker Depends on how fast you are, and it depends on how you tie them, and it depends on your sprinting form. I'm a 48 year old sprinter -- 7.79 60m, 12.1 100m. While I've been able to wear my Invisible Shoes for sprinting, I typically wear them for anything slower than 14 second 100m and then put on my spikes for anything faster.

[@shay4578]

Will try this at home. If it looks and feels as good as it seems, I might consider buying the Vibram sheet you sell.

[@stevensashen]

+Shay Shlomo Hazan FYI, the Vibram rubber is in our Classic Kit. The FeelTrue rubber we developed and use in our regular kits is WAY better -- last longer, better grip, pre-cut, reinforced ankle holes, etc.

[@shay4578]

Oh, sounds great. Let me try it out with scrap material first though. I want to get it just right in the making part before I move to better (more expansive) materials.

[@peychevth]

Thanks so much i really wants to make one pair for me can you write the name of the matterial that you are using and to give some alternative options which are easy to be find : )

[@vipermadman]

Ah I see thanks! By the way, I ran thru the redwoods in my new sandals and they are great! Thanks!

[@rrostie]

@greenteagod I think many people wear shoes that are too narrow for them without realizing. One way to tell is to look at one of your feet when you have most of your weight on it, and see if the sides of the shoe bulge out past the sole of your shoe. Of course this may only work with an older pair of shoes that are a bit worn out.

[@invisibleshoes]

@californiadajatt This is similar to the Tarahumara huaraches. But those are made with used tire rubber which is quite heavy and stiff.

[@pacific1waters9]

@greenteagod I noticed the same thing many years ago on my first trip to Colombia. The street urchins never wore shoes and their toes were even more splayed than his and the foot much wider than what we consider normal.

[@invisibleshoes]

@vipermadman If you're faxing or scanning/emailing the tracing to us, so we can make you a custom-made pair of Invisible Shoes, the fax/scanner may change the size of the tracing. I use the 4-inch rule to re-size the tracing to the correct dimensions.

[@KatJaguar1122]

That is an effect of barefoot/minimalist walking/running.

[@invisibleshoes]

@greenteagod I don't know how/if my "toe splay" has changed, because I haven't really paid attention to it, and don't have some way of measuring the before/after. But I can tell you this: The first pair of Invisible Shoes that I made for myself (18 months ago) no longer fit. They're a bit too narrow. So my midfoot has gotten a bit wider since I've gone barefoot/minimalist full-time.

[@velazquezarmouries]

They really remind me of gedda

[@ghigosandals6118]

Do you have pics or videos of your toenails?

[@kph11863]

Make some videos of them - I for one would like to see them. :-)

[@vipermadman]

What is the 4 inch line for?

[@radicalleavemealone-ist7751]

His nails are not long by any stretch of the imagination. Y'all are insane.

[@ciclopropano]

wow, you almost have no arch... or do I have too much?

[@K0rci]

he is flat-footed like most people because they got put in shoes as babies so their foot couldnt develope right.

[@frauleinwinter6705]

BeAMan I did not put in shoes, I ran barefoot for the bigger part of my childhood, yet I'm flat footed. Same with my older brother. My sister and younger brother have high arches. It's not the same for everybody.

[@juanfighter1]

You could snatch a salmon upstream with them eagle claws!

[@stevensashen6956]

You mean the piece of paper that I'm standing on?

[@CyprinusCarpioDiem]

I thought you said its pronounced tamamamooramumi???

[@invisibleshoes]

You can cut your toenails?! Why did nobody tell me this before!? ;-)

[@K1NG_HASH1R]

Are you an ape that you didn't know it was a common practice amongst humans?!

[@WackyZackyfication]

Didn't mommy tell you when you were little boy?

[@WackyZackyfication]

@@K1NG_HASH1R I'm sure apes have shorter toenails 😑

[@marce4362]

¿Al un mexicano que pensará lo mismo que yo pensé? (Khe v..)

[@ITSbigwillystyle]

But they help with catching prey.

[@TheBudFriend]

Our feet are just hands on our legs

[@invisibleshoes]

@DannyG1810 Nah, I'm just a guy ;-)

[@rrajeevy]

My toe nails are longer than his lol im just to lazy to cut them

[@invisibleshoes]

@AngelBones84 then you'll like the video I just posted where it's 4 minutes of face time ;-)

[@KatJaguar1122]

lol, you think Lethal Weapon was Mel Gibson in the "early years". lol

[@K1NG_HASH1R]

His foot proves that we evolved from Cavemen I bet ur biggest fear is a nailcutter

[@beldimanpaulalexandru9409]

[@ghigosandals6118]
