parang ang tigas ng materials. .
It looks hard but malambot siya and flexible.
hmmm…I havent dipped my foot into the barefoot school, but my GF is inkling to try out the Nike Free.hay..isip isip muna ako.
Nike Free is not as thin as most barefoot shoes. It still works much like the usual shoes but made more flexible. Others don’t even consider Nike Free as a barefoot running shoe. But I find them a good intro to barefoot shoes.
