This Friday, one of GladSoles’ fellow travelers, Steve Sachen of Xero Shoes, will be diving into the Shark Tank to pitch his barefoot running sandals to the panel. I can’t wait to watch the show...
Let’s face it, there can be a flip side to all this workout stuff. It’s a bad part of my character that I tend to be contrarian. Watching Rich get fitter and fitter has the reverse motivating...
September always brings thoughts of new beginnings. Our kids are starting a new school year – 6th, 8th & 10th grades respectively. It’s the Jewish new year, and for me personally, as a September...
Last month I complained about being a little too busy to workout. Not so this month, as I’m happy to report that I only took 4 rest days the entire month of May! That means, more running, more...
April was a busy month. Besides all of my piano and guitar teaching, we also did a lot of trunk shows – at Jivamukti Yoga in NYC, Shakti Yoga & Baker Street Yoga in Maplewood, as well as Be...

Today the GladSoles racing team showed up and and took part in the 11th annual Maplewood in Motion 5K Run. It was a little bit chilly at around 50 degrees when we arrived, but we warmed up...
I just ran 2+ miles in the GladSoles. Minus some shifting and such (I’ll get used to it — I run overpronated/neutral) the sandals were great. I’ll get some soreness in my legs/calves which is a given, but you don’t feel any road debris etc. Greatness! – Tom Massot, Fitness Trainer
Stop by the studio and try the sandals that all of Maplewood is raving about. OK, maybe not all of Maplewood, but I am, and I know there are many others loving them along with me… Wearing them is like being barefoot on your yoga mat all of the time. – Claire Garland, Baker Street Yoga
I simply love these shoes…the comfort, colors, constant contact to the earth… I find it hard to wear anything else now, besides bare feet. –Sarah Powers, International Yoga Teacher and author of Insight Yoga
I can tell you from experience that these sandals are awesome! First of all, they’re sturdy. I ran through the rough terrain of the rocky Arizona dessert for about an hour in them and they showed no signs of giving up! Second, they give you a truly barefoot experience. When you wear them, you will have a new awareness of how you walk and how your walking can be refined in a way that better suits your body. Since they don’t have all the support that you’ll find in most footwear, GladSo...
I love my GladSoles! I’m a Teacher Trainer for The willPower Method, a barefoot training method and have been in search of a sandal which allows the freedom my feet need to fully articulate and offer a strong sole that protects my feet as well. I’ve literally had these sandals for 3 days and am living in them! Thank you so much for creating them. I am going to recommend them to all of my students! – Jennifer DeLuccia, Body Train, LLC
