| Huaraches |
This is more of a proof of concept than a serious attempt at making huaraches. For an investment of $3.00 (Walmart flip flops and some cord from my garage) I was pleasantly surprised at the result. I did take them for a quick run up and down my street and they were comfortable and stayed firmly affixed to my feet.
The flip flops are more than double the thickness I need and way too spongy for serious running, although with use they may compress. I have some ideas for some “found” materials that might make a better sole. If they don’t work, Vibram Cherry Soling seems to be the preferred material and can be had for about $25 a sheet.
I like them enough that I plan on doing some experimentation, after the Marine Corps Marathon of course.
. . . . and yes, I am aware that I have now officially gone insane.
Okay, is it just me or do you have really nice feet and toenails for all this running you do?? I'm jealous! I'm constantly in a state of chipped toe nail polish these days.
