Coming Soon - Barefoot Running for Beginners
Due out next week is a new book by Dr. Craig Richards and Thomas Hollowell which covers the rationale and techniques for both barefoot running and running with minimal footwear.
We were excited to learn that Soft Star RunAmocs are included in their reviews of minimal footwear and given 10 out of "10 Toes"!
