Today, the first day efter my first barefoot running experience, I was longing to get out in the trail again. This sounds corny, but it's as if my feet had been re-discovered and now was screaming for some action - They have a job to do, and they want to get to it NOW! No more droning around, half asleep embedded in their half-a-fortune, foam rubber incubators. Just woken from over thirty years of coma, they where just excited to start doing something meaningful for a change.

Since I only have asfalt arround me where I live, I thought I'd best get something to protect the souls of my feet before getting out there. The obvious choice of footwhere seemed to be the Tarahumara style Huaraches, and I found lots of info on the net covering how to order them, ware them and make them. So I decided to make a pair.

After digging arround for sutable material for a while, I found an old pair of flip-flops laying arround. Perfect! Foot-shaped and with holes allready cut out. I cut the old rubber straps off replaceing them with straps made out of an old fleece jacket. Lets giv'em a try!
