Jesus would have an unfair advantage as he can walk on water

If Jesus was to run Comrades we would have a record that would never be beaten.

 

Let's talk about the real culprits guilty of the sandal running craze.

The Tarahumara tribe from Mexico.

I grew up in rural Northern Natal, and sandals made from car tyres were not very glamorous to me, although quite a few people had some (my brother included) , and just as many people knew how to make you a pair.

 

I preferred to do track & cross country barefoot. Had a pair of spikes, but was told to rather run barefoot as I look like a cat with cellotape on its feet when using the spikes. So I ran barefoot, even the times we had to go down to Durbs to compete there on the tartan track in the blistering summer.

 

Tempted to do the interval sessions on grass barefoot, might give it a go when I up the intensity again

this reminds me of an Archie comic way back. Archie was an athlete, and he nagged his dad for the latest running shoes, quite expensive though, and money was not around really. So Archie got his state of the art running shoes and did the race. And a poor kid wins, with no running shoes/sandals whatsover. After the race Archie "He had a superior performance"

Archie's dad "and his footwear was also superior..."

They are very nice to run with and very comfy to wear, kinda reminds me of the movie Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, permanent rubber on the feet.

Close to being barefoot as you can get.

I have a pair of jesus sandals, made them myself. VERY comfy but people have the tendency to ask if you a priest or something. I cut an old SPEZ renegade tubeless tire up to make myself some soles. Check the pics

 

Btw, my one friend ran the comrades this year with them. The other ran it BAREFOOT, no jokes!!!

There is a guy up here in Durban selling recycled bicycle tyre belts.
