Haha no!!! 🤣 What will probably happen is people will decide they want a pair to try out, but they don't want to go to the trouble of making them, and then just buy a pair from shammas or Xero or Deliberate life Designs or something.
@@petertardigrade4485 I like making my own things and have made a quick prototype of the barefoot sandal, but even I probably won't go to that much trouble. I have quite a few tools, but it'd still probably be cheaper for me to buy barefoot sandals. (I'll be making all-leather ones, since I don't mind the soul being a bit floppy, though I quite like my flip flop soul prototype)
Much respect. I am an amateur sandal maker and I learned an enormous amount from you and this video. Thanks for sharing your process and your to-the-point video.
I wonder if you could also make the sole material by glueing together a larger sheet and then cutting out these material sandwiches in the shape you want. That way you, you may even be able to create multiple soles in a go for later replacements. I'm just thinking about how Shamma makes their sandals-essentially cutting or punching the shape out of a sheet.
I adore the care and integrity put into every part of this video. I have such an increased appreciation for these running sandals after watching a pair come to life in your capable hands. I am grateful there is still such attention given to such an integral human activity-- running. Thank you for this video. I truly look forward to your next!
Love your video with all the discriptions, made a few leather sandals myself and love them - now I want to make a sandal in your style but I can not find the sideposts pdf template that you mentioned. Is there such a template and where can I find it - would be awesome to know before I start cutting the leather :) THX
Two toes up on this video!! Fantastic job-- I find it mesmerizing to watch this-- it feeds some part of me that wants to believe that somethings are still made by hand and with great care.
Very nice! I've been working on my own prototype for a running/outdoor Huarache sandal. It's been a fun and rewarding project, though with a few challenges!
"Temporary loss of self-respect" 😂 excellent tutorial, making the toe plugs is going to be so much easier following your method! I was doing it backwards, melting the webbing and then trying to push it into a mold.
Such an awesome video! Thank you! It would be awesome to see some companies come out and show how they make their sandals. I guess this is why my Bedrocks were so expensive!
I'll try to make a pair for next summer. I've been going barefoot for a while and I thought of switching the foam with another layer of leather and add some ears to it. Basically when you sandwich the 3 layers to make the sole, the middle one has ears to which you can attach the straps to and make them even safer from tearing due to being possibly dragged across the ground.
I tried this DIY huarache sandals on my own haha, a pretty funny project, but Idk if I'm using the wrong nylon adjustors, but the one piece that is used to tie the leather strap and the nylon really hurt my skin, and if I try to adjust it to make more comfortable, the sandal feel loose, so I tink I am not using a good adjustor.... also I made ton of mistakes that I will fix in a future 😅.... great video! and great project.
Peter - this was brilliant and I’d love to get started thanks to your inspiration. As a life long vegan I’d like to use vegan leather but do you also have a blog with a list of tools and patterns.. I know there’s more than a few of us who think it’s daylight robbery to pay $70-100 for minimalist sandals. I’d rather make one for $10-15 and send a $50 donation to the Seed Foundation supporting the Taramuhara(sp?) community. Thx mate!
After making them I definitely believe companies making sandals aren't charging more than I'd have to for a pair of sandals. Its all about scale, and not enough people are buying minimalist footwear. I don't have a blog, but the PDF of the side post is coming, and your foot is the pattern!
If you use leather as your footbed, it is a good to remember that the rough side of leather is more abrasive resistant that the smooth side. Amazing video quality, very inspiring and I absolutely love the final look!
I've tried both, and can see reasons for both. Rough-out leather is interesting because it's more durable, but it has more friction against your skin. This has a positive effect for mimicking barefoot, but it's also harder to clean. I can see why most companies sell smooth leather sandals, but I tried convincing Josh at Shammas to try rough-out sandals. We'll see.
Yeh minimalist sandals are a rip off, thanks for the video. You arent kidding, ive beeb walking around barefoot for years and dont feel a thing even on rough terrain
this a tremendous video!! the tutorial s well thought out and detailed enough that i'm doin this whenever my sole material shows up. many many thank yous!!
Great process, some of which will be super helpful to me when I need a replacement for mine. I sort of made mine, but not much craft involved: I used a sole from a Xero Shoes huarache kit and, because the lace from that kept breaking, a strap bought from Earth Runners, which is also a lot more comfortable and secure than the Xero lace. Very very easy to fit the strap to the sole using narrow headed pliers. The advantage for me was that the Xero sole comes wide, allowing most people to trim it, but I could leave it as is. I have wide feet and no existing sandals I know of are anywhere near wide enough. I don't think I need glued on leather and I definitely don't need foam, but good to know I can just get some rubber with a grip on one side and cut to size next time, as the Xero Shoe sellers have stopped selling the kit sandals here in the UK.
Thank you very much for the detailed guide! I have a question because I'm kinda stuck making my own sandals: How would you go about countersinking the knot/plug when not using EVA foam? I have 6mm soling and don't want to add another layer between the leather and the rubber. I have tried with a dremel, but I am not sure about it. Do you have any experience with that?
I think you have to cut into the rubber, I've had sandals work ok with the rubber fully cut out, and the plug being held by one layer of leather. But you can also just cut part way into the rubber
Go to Xero Shoes for a hole punch-xeroshoes.com/shop/extras/hole-punch/ and to create a plug instructions from Xero Shoes th-cam.com/video/mw6F3rMrj50/w-d-xo.html
How do you like leather footbed compared to other options? Thinking of making some. My concerns are: will get dirtier/harder to clean compared to synthetic, and slippery when wet. Are these valid?
Yes great question and I think leather is not waterproof and can take effort to maintain? Plus some people prefer vegan. I wonder if vegan leather could work, but also if there's some other option that's comfy but waterproof. Also wondering what colors webbing comes in and where to source it. Does rubber come in colors other than black too?
Great video, thanks! I have a question about the form you used to make the toe plug- does it have to be metal? Would it “stick” in a wood form? And where do you get metal machined like that if you can’t do it yourself? Thank you!
Hey Peter - thanks for this great video. Can you maybe tell me what kind/brand of Nylon Webbing you are using? The one I got is way to hard and hurts between the toes ...
I purchased it from MEC in Canada. It's very light, 5/8 inch webbing. I have tried lots of different webbings though, you just have to find something that works. Curious what your sandals looked like, did you make your own? I'd love to share your sandals in a future video if you've been making them yourself.
Bro! I wish there was a master like you in my town. Those shoes pretty much ain't sold in my country, and ordering from abroad will like double the price.
Great video. I already glued new footplates and just reused the binding of my shammas. It's great to see someone else doing diy straps. I'm planning to try it in the future
I saw you mention sourcing Ultragrip in the comments. I don’t think you can. If I read the Shamma site correctly Toughtek specifically developed that footbed for Shamma. Toughtek does have some other non slip fabrics similar, however I’m not sure how well they would work. I’ve even looked for the manufacturer for Monkey grip (Luna) and haven’t been able to find a source for that either. Additionally where did you get the EVA. I’m a 6-9mm sandal runner myself and I’ve been able to find the 5mm new flex but having a hard time sourcing a “midsole”.
Man those are some awesome sandals. I wish you could make me a pair of those. I have big very very extremely wide feet sz15 6 EEEEEE wide with very chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. My foot outgrew shoes, socks, & boots when i was 18 years old & flip flops is the only footwear that will barely & i mean barely fit me because my toes are wider than the flip flops straps. With my toes being straight across & very fat & wide having only the straps that goes in between the toes would make it a lot easier for me to slide my foot into a sandals like this. I have to do a lot things barefooted 👣 driving my car barefooted 👣because of my foot being too wide. My foot is touching the gas & the brake pedal at the same time because of my toes being to wide & being straight across. I never thought with me being a chubby fat dude I would had to deal with having very extremely wide feet with very chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across. Good video I really enjoy watching it. thank you for sharing.
Hi. Great video. Just a question: what's holding the plug on the sole when the straps are inserted? Is it the Eva foam plus the leather? Thanks. Will try this out.
Do you sell these? I just love the care put into these. Would ❤ a pair. I would love to try making a set myself but seems a little outside of my abilities. 😂
I think you don't need to sand off the glue that got on the leather. You should be able to wipe it off with a rubber cement type of eraser - the same material that's used to remove rubber cement, and also to clean sanding belts.
Mexican and Arab means mixed, to go dark. ... *Behold the Christian Race* ... Cush (Greek: Ethiopia), means sun-burnt face Phoenicians described by the Greeks, as fair-haired, fair-skinned people Persia means Lord of the Aryans now renamed IRAN Zimbabwe once known as Rhodesia Chicongo once known as Chicago ... 12 Tribes passed through the Caucasus Mountains (i)ssac's Sons / Saxons / Anglo-Saxons / Europe / Australia / New Zealand / North America / Christian First World / "We the People" ... 38 For as in those days before the flood, *they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,* until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, *so will be the coming of the Son of Man.*
Looks awesome! Where do you buying the rubber sheets? I've ben searching and searching I can only find the 30cm long sheets, my feet are 31cm so I need a bit more 😅
What is the purpose of having the leather straps only on the inside of the huaraches? When I've worn sandals, the outside straps have grinded against the ground and worn out. is there any merit to putting leather straps, or the x shaped attachment onto the outside rather than just inside? Great video btw. Love the energy that you bring to showing people how to do something so awesome! You clearly put a lot of effort into this video, and these shoes :)
The leather attachment is more for supporting the strap around your ankle. I find that the sole of my sandals wears faster than my straps on the ground. Shamma sandals offers supportive posts on both sides now, but the design I have in my video is like an older shammas design. It's all about how many steps you're willing to do in the process, and how hard you find it is to keep the straps around your feet. I've had a fine time in sandals with no supportive straps, just tension.
What a classy friend you are! Thanks for the lesson. Being Mexican American, I love how you say Huracha. I have noticed that my dependency on heeled shoes has messed up my knees and ankles. I am building myself back. Blessings to you for helping others.
I saw at the end of the video you are walking heel toe isnt it suppose to be forefoot first meaning you land on the outer ball of your foot then your heel slowly touches the ground
Forefoot first is only for running, and a mid foot strike is actually fine for running so long as you aren't impacting the ground too hard. These types of shoes are painful to incorrectly run or walk in so the wearer will naturally learn what does and doesn't work.

Hi Peter, wonderful job! Where did you get the piece of metal for the toe plug jig/pattern? Do you have any details on this? Thanks
Not a good vid..... A GREAT VID!! thanks...
how would you make the sandal a grounding sandal with copper like the earth runners sandals?
I'd like to be able to make those myself.
Underated video, love the depth you give to your videos, new subscriber
Could you please edit another version without background music? It is very distracting
I was thinking of maybe making my own and quickly resigned to buying my first pair😅
There’s so many valuable skills to be gained just by making your own sandals, I feel like that alone is a great reason to make some at home!
Just throwing an “embiggens” out there mid video like Jebediah Springfield.
Super video... first one i saw using leather and rubber and the proper footstraps... more power to you my friend. Thanks

How thick is the leather you use? Have you ever had a toe plug pull through the leather ?
Can you just show a cobbler this video and ask them to make one for you?

Im going to use your methods, but modify it to not be between my toes. I cant do things between my toes.
Can you use webbing rather than leather for the side post

Not for earthing

Am watching this 11 months after and am assuming you've gone into full-scale production by now.
Super super super cool! Thank you!! Some ASMR lovers may even enjoy this. Could vegan leather work as well??
this is gonna be a life saver. Couldn't find a pair of barefoot sandals that would be both comfy and affordable, luckily i'm handy! :D

Really nice idea. I have one change: feet are almost never the same size. When u test measure you need to measure both feet, individually.

Looks awesome!
Where do you buying the rubber sheets?
I've ben searching and searching I can only find the 30cm long sheets, my feet are 31cm so I need a bit more 😅
My hardware store has recycled rubber sheets in huge widths, enough for a dozen pairs of shoes. Make sure the rubber is pretty hard, not air-injected.
