For the second year, Xero Shoes is a proud sponsor of Warrior Hike.
What, you may ask, is Warrior Hike?
Well, I can’t explain it better than what it says on their website:
In 1948, Earl Shaffer told a friend he was going to āwalk off the warā to work out the sights, sounds,Ā and losses of World War II. Four months later, Earl Shaffer became the first person to hike the entire length of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.
Following in Earl Shafferās footsteps and in recognizing the therapeutic effectsĀ of long distance hiking, Warrior Hike has created the āWalk Off The Warā Program which is designed to support combat veterans transitioning from their military service by thru-hiking Americaās National Scenic Trails.
Here are some pics that just came in from the Ice Age Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. More coming soon.
Some of the Hikers wear their Xeros as camp shoes, giving their feet some breathing room at the end of a day in boots.
Others are through-hiking IN their Xero Shoes.
What inspires someone to take off their shoes and run barefoot?
For Khanh Nguyen it was knee pain and the hope that barefoot running would help.
Once he got started, in bare feet and in Xero Shoes, he was on fire. He’s run 1/2 marathons, mud races and, most recently, he ran UP the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas in his Xero Shoes. AND, he did it in our Bigfoot, the Xero Hero costume!
Enjoy this really fun interview with Khanh, and see what motivates him to run (hint: his brother dared him!)
Have you seen bigfoot?
If you were in Las Vegas on March 2nd at the Stratosphere hotel, you probably did.
In fact, you may have seen this mysterious barefoot beast climb the Strat!
While most people who claim to see bigfoot have grainy, fuzzy pictures or video, we have high-resolution proof of his existence. And, even more, we have proof that Bigfoot wears barefoot running shoes. Xero Shoes, to be exact! Continue reading Bigfoot wears barefoot shoes? Yup.
Why would you make the transition to running barefoot? And what’s it like to do that?
How do you avoid doing “too much, too soon”?
Are Vibram Fivefingers the same as barefoot? The best minimalist choice?
We sat down (well, stood up, since I use a treadmill desk š ) and talked with Alex Hill about how and why he made the move. Plus we get 2 special guests during our talk, and see some AWESOME feet when we do.
Alex made a “commercial” about Xero Shoes… here it is:
I'm an international ultramarathon athlete and I wear Xero Shoes for races. No blisters. No smelly feet. But I also use them as my everyday sandals (they look way cool!) and I recommend Xeros to everyone.Melissa Gosse
As a barefoot runner Iāve heard lots about huaraches but it wasnāt until Steven made me my first pair (I have two) that I understood how much fun they are to run distances in!Scott McLean
Thank you for making these amazing huaraches. I love how they feel. I forget they are there so much so I have worn them to bed a few times!Tasha Riggs
