Elf Martin

Martin is a lifelong runner who began wearing minimalist shoes over 10 years ago when he found they alleviated his chronic foot pain, which eventually disappeared completely. He further studied proper running form through a series of workshops taught by Correct Toes inventor, Dr. Ray McClanahan DPM. Martin has collaborated with several health care professionals to collect and share peer-reviewed studies that show the benefits of minimalist footwear. In his personal life, Martin loves living in the Pacific Northwest because it allows him to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities year-round, including hiking, cycling, rock climbing, surfing and snowboarding.

I am driving the 3000 miles to my daughter's home so we can all enjoy a nice outdoorsy vacation. It would be my chance to take the 5 of us shopping for the occasion.

If I win, I will buy both activewear and a very good pair of shoes with the prizes. I could really use both new activewear and a great pair of shoes for the summer months, especially since I power walk quite a bit during the summer as well as mow my yard. Thanks for the fantastic opportunity to win!

Love this contest! It's so timely as I was just visiting your site to check my options for travel shoes. I bought my first pair of SoftStar shoes (Rouge) over the winter and fell in LOVE. Now I'm planning a trip out of the country and I'd love to take SoftStar with me! Will also be visiting REI for some of my travel gear, so this is a contest made in heaven!
