Raymond Mack developed this nice thong style
Once you get the tension just right, you slip ’em on and off in a second. People use this tying style for everything from walking to running marathons.
First, a tying tip:
Since there’s exposed lace under your foot, I recommend coating that part of the lace with Shoe Goo for added protection.
Step-by-Step instructions coming soon!
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 I’ve heard lots about huaraches but it wasn’t 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

60% off MSRP (full, non-sale, listed, retail price) for the product, plus shipping.
We also offer a 24 Month Manufacturing Warranty, which covers defects and flaws that may happen in the first two years. We will offer a free replacement for orders that qualify.
If you have a manufacturing concern, please email our Customer Service team at [email protected] and include a photo of the issue with your current shipping address. For closed toed shoes, please include another photo with the tongue tag.

Although we'll accept worn shoes, we'd kindly ask you to return them in new condition if possible!
Steve,
I love trivia too much not to answer why it’s called a “bobby pin” (in case no one else has answered yet).
The pin was called a bobby pin because they were used to keep bob cuts held in place.
Keep having fun!

What kind of knot is used under the toe hole? Is it a figure eight using two strands of rope?
Just a regular overhand knot will do… and then heat it and flatten it out.
Raymond ties an overhand knot at the midpoint of the lace, to lock it in place (since he’s only using one hole at the toe). That (tiny) knot is underneath the shoe.
The end of a shoestring is an aglet and a bobbypin was called that to hold bobb haircuts in place.
Give Tina a prize! (someone? anyone? Beuler?) 😉
What can I get? Would like the black 4mm 9inches long preform since have extra laces. Please?
Oh, I shouldn’t have been so glib. There isn’t an actual prize (and a bunch o’ people here and on YouTube also answered my off-the-cuff quiz). 🙁
