This new shoe seems like a logical member of this list. And Pete, they are a New Hampshire company!

I have a mini-tripod – just told her to run toward the camera and had the camera zoomed and focused on a particular spot.

Hope you have better luck with the Minimus Trail than I did. I really want to like that shoe!

I’ll also be glad (come the end of the week) to not have to wear the thick training shoes that I use when we get ice /snow here ( I’ve a pair of old Speedstars that I use with sheet-metal screw studs on the bottom for ice traction, midsoles thick enough to hold the screws).

I’m still trying to figure out how you got that video of your daughter’s feet – mini tripod or camera resting on the ground?

Got an email from them as well. Looks like they are already selling out via
pre-orders – said their second batch will not arrive until a bit later.

Oops, big omission on my part! I had just emailed them recently about
samples too. You’ll be hearing about that shoe form me at some point
in the not too distant future.

I was surfing through the internet and found this amazing blog. I really liked the idea of these running shoes and would like getting a pair for myself soon.

Price of the Tara Lite will be $115. They will ship to folks who pre-order in early February. Then, they will fill their retail orders. Then in early March, after the pre-orders & retail orders are filled, it will be available at their factory store in Newmarket, New Hampshire.

As i understand what i read on their site, this shoe will have an internal sandal thong. i guess it ends up being a covered sandal, sort of. That would mean that if socks are worn, they would need to be Injinji.

I got a note today indicating that they are now accepting pre-orders for a 01 February shipment.
