Earth Runners are commonly confused with flip flops to the uninitiated, but we promise you there is no flip to these flops! While flip flops affect how you use your feet and require more effort to stay secure, our minimalist sandals allow the foot to act as if it were barefoot, free of all the kinematic nuisances of flip flops. 🩴 Earth Runner sandals require NO awkward gripping action of the toes or midfoot plantar flexion to maintain contact between the thong and the foot. 👣 thongs sandals foot health podiatry adventure sandals barefoot shoes minimalist footwear happy feet strong feet barefoot lifestyle earth runners sandals
