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...
The first week of the year saw some extremely frigid temperatures. But as you can see, Rich and I strapped on our GladSoles, suited up and went out in the elements. Monday 12/31/12 Not-run –...
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...
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...
3 Runners, 1 Plodder, 4 Different Experiences One of the most famous places to run in Hong Kong is Bowen Road. It’s an 8K stretch that winds its way through the Mid-Levels of Hong Kong. In a...
March was a pretty good month. The weather was warmer than normal, I got to run barefoot a few times, I can now comfortably touch my knees to my nose (yeah yoga!), and it was my birthday. I...
Just wanted to update you all with my exercise stats for the past month. February was a little challenging as we were traveling to and from Hong Kong. That’s a 16 hour flight each way from our...
Occasionally people ask me for advice on running and/or fitness in general. Whether they’ve heard about my running exploits of 2000 miles in 2011, or have seen my new and improved slender physique...
Earlier this month, we had the incredibly good fortune to take the trip of a lifetime to Hong Kong. My brother, sister-in-law and niece have lived there for 10 years, and we were there for a big...
Rich is the runner in our house. This is clear from his amazing accomplishment of over 2,000 miles last year. I’ve had an on-again off-again relationship with running that dates back to my 20s,...
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 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
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
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...
