Although we didn’t do much running on our honeymoon (ok, if we’re being truthful, any running), that doesn’t mean we left our minimalist shoe lifestyle behind. As excited as Steven and I were to explore the country of Costa Rica for the first time, we were also looking forward to spending an entire vacation in only minimalist shoes (and barefoot)! As … Read More

Skoras, Altras, and Vibrams, OH MY!
Over the last few weeks, we have encountered a few items that I thought were worth mentioning.

I’m not sure … Read More
A Run in the Spyridons and a Quick Look at the Lontra
