After deciding I was going to wait to get any minimalist shoes (until I've become a good BF runner), my "crafty" side got all excited, and I decided to go ahead and make some huaraches. I'm not running in them at this point, but they are great for wearing other places!

I've posted the knot-free instructions on my running blog. Here's a photo:
