Clothing & Minimalist Shoes
What works and what doesn't for keeping us protected in the outdoors.
We also have a blog dedicated completely to minimalist and barefoot shoes - Toe Salad.
Human powered adventure almost always requires footwear. Your feet are your foundation; footwear and foot health can make all the difference between success and failure over both the short and long term.
Toe Salad is a publication dedicated to the health of active feet. We are the resource for walkers, runners, hikers, and backpackers who put health first.
