Home Made Huaraches

Thanks to Steve at Invisibleshoes.com I got the idea of making these. I'm gonna buy the real ones eventually, but for now these will have to do. The truck innertube worked so-so. The material was so flexible and strecthy that pivoting was not possible on any surface. Also since it was so flexible the huaraches would shift and slip to the outside of my feet on long walks and runs. the final thing is that since it was only about 1mm thick and plyable it would fold under my foot. Finally I had a thorn from a rose bush stabed right though it. After that I was done with'em. I'm sure the vibram sole on Steve's huaraches is alot better.

So, how are they to run in with the super thin soles?

@lunarrn At first it was very difficult because I could feel everything. Every acorn and twig hurt eventually it got much better plus I was more mindful of where I was walking. The kicker was when my wife and I went to a large public garden in the area and walking through the rose bush area,  many thorns punched right though the thin rubber and that was the last time I wore them. That evening I ordered my Invisible shoes and I've been running in them since. now I have many minimalist shoes

What about blisters with the thin rubber? I get them behind and between the 4th and 5th (pinky) toe and also blood blister under my right big toe. I run both barefoot and with huaraches. So hard to tell which is causing it.

@karateee Thanks for the report.
