huarraches, tire sandals I made

Me and Bookis made some huarraches. The Raramuri of Mexico run really far in these. This is made from the sidewall of a waste truck tire. resourceful people all over the world make these. They simulate barefoot running really well. They just protect the bottom of your feet. I ran 16 miles in them last weekend and I hope to run the marathon in march in them. Tires will be around for a long time. Thomas Elpel says tire sandals with moccasins is an unbeatable combination.
