Sandals

[NickW]

So I'm at my inlaws today and my sister inlaw shows up in some sandals that gave me an awesome inspiration for running sandals. I can't wait to get home and start mad cobbler'ing it. These will be different than any other minimalist sandal out there and would be useable in mud. I am so excited! They are a cross of over the toe and between the toe sandals. Sounds weird, but they should be super stable on the foot.

Neither. I've never seen sandals laced with this method before, but it's so simple it seems stupid and I wonder why didn't I think of that before. I can't find pictures of it on google. I'll show you Sid when I make them. I think I am going to use my mono sandal with mgt footbed for it because the straps on that one really irritate my skin. It should alleviate the pain I get from the strap going between toes as well if I make it right.

So got home and checked fit and this project is going to het tabled for a bit until I can get some new soling material. The mono's I have with the mgt footbed are not the same size (despite being labeled a 9.5 like my monos with the pittards leather footbed). The sole material is not wide enough for me to implement my idea. I am going to take apart the offending part on these laces and re-sew them so I can use them and then I am going to make my own tech straps for these and I may just use these for the Rugged Maniac obstacle course race this next weekend.
