Hello Huaraches goodbye Five Fingers !!!

As I told in my last blog I ordered a pair of Huaraches at invisible shoes from SteveSashen. I could not wait for them. But after five days a finally get them by mail. Unfortunately I had no time to modify them ( I ordered a DIY-kit). But yesterday evening I had finally time to make them. First of all this was really easy, I made them in about 15 minutes with the clear instruction video’s from Steve. It was late but I could not wait to try them, so I put them on and I ran a few times up and down the street. I was even more enthusiastic, it felt great!! This Sunday I planned a 1 hour 20 barefoot run so I left and when I came back I  put my huaraches on and did a 3 km test run. Because of the fact I was running barefoot before I tried them on I was able to compare them with the barefoot feeling. It was unbelievable!!! You almost don’t feel them because they are very light weighted, you can feel different surface through the 4mm sole (I ordered the 4mm Contact) and your feet are still bare which is a great feeling and for me very important. Before the huaraches I use VFF’s for harsh conditions (melting asphalt) because I thought they were a good alternative for barefoot. Nothing more is true, comparing with Huaraches the VFF’s feel heavy and the sensitivity is zero. Beside that you don’t have bare feet and that is one of the reasons I like barefoot running!! With this my VFF’s had their longest time on my feet!!
