    Hi, anyone have any links to new or upcoming companies in the minimalist running shoe market? I vaguely remember one of these barefoot forumers getting lots of advice before creating a shoe that is more "forum approved" than most? Not sure which forum it was though... it was definitely crowdsourced...

     

    I don't mean new or upcoming minimalist shoes from the big three -- vivo barefoot, feelmax, or vibram fivefingers, I mean new companies entering the market in upcoming months and stuff. Anyone have any links to any of the new guys? Thanks!

      None of these really fit your criteria, but I am putting them for completeness. There is something else coming out, but I have to remember the name.

       

      Feelmax

      Vibram Five Fingers (of course)

      Vivo Barefoot

       

      Edit: Found it Skora

      They still haven't even made a production model yet. So, we will see.

        And let me add www.InvisibleShoe.com for huaraches kits and custom-made running sandals.

            I don't think I'd like that strap between the toes on the huaraches. 

            I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

              I am going to make myself a pair. And just for completeness I am going to make Barefoot Ted's because I prefer the hemp strap.

              EDIT: Found another.
