Luna Sandals was at Outdoor Retailer again this year, it is always fun to catch-up with Barefoot Ted and see what cool things he is working on. The big news this year is that we can expect to see Luna Sandals in retail stores across the USA (and also in Japan). Watch the video to see refinements to the Luna straps and learn about the latest developments in banana flavored minimalist footwear.

I had the opportunity to meet-up with Altra at Outdoor Retailer this year and they gave us a rundown on what they have in the pipeline. Check-out the video to learn more about Altra's next trail shoe, the Superior and the next revision of the Instinct dubbed version 1.5.

Barefoot Jake caught my eye not too long ago on Brian Green's backpacking blog. Jake is a barefoot/minimalist proponent, a full-time fitness instructor/coach, an ultralight backpacker, and father who likes to get out with his son. I thought he would be an interesting guy to get to know, and what better way to do that than with an interview.

I am so happy to share with you all an interview with Terral Fox from Unshoes. I have had some encouraging email correspondence with Unshoes and found their story very intriguing. They have a couple of great summer options for children at very reasonable prices. I look forward to receiving our first pairs very shortly (reviews to come as well). Thank you Terral for taking the time to share your thoughts and your photos with us!

One of the stand-out brands to join the minimalist footwear market in 2011 was Sole Runner - a small company based out of Germany. Sole Runner recently sent us some product photos to share, as well as some good news: they are now available for purchase in the USA.
