    Hello from México Steven... It's a beautiful idea. Obviously tarauhmara's ispirated. Thanks for sharing!

    I always put a dab of spit between my fingers before pinching a point on the molten nylon when melting cord ends. May sound gross, but the spit keeps the nylon from sticking to your finger and causing a burn and it also lets you form a nice smooth end with no "whiskers".

    @invisibleshoes Trust him. I'm just finishing a pair of shoes with a steel belted tires...much more hassle than i hoped for. Needed a circular saw, wire cutters and a power drill to finish it all off...they look great though.

    @oceanave No, it doesn't. The ankle holes don't get much friction for a couple of reasons: First, they're slightly raised off the ground by the tension in the tying. And, secondly, they're outside the edge of the foot, so there's no direct pressure on them from above. I've been wearing the same pair of Invisible Shoes for 9 months and there's very little wear at the ankle holes.

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  13 лет назад

    @ethanjustis Actually, leather tends to be less durable. And it stretches/contracts when it gets wet. And it makes a thicker knot. And if it's "rectangular", the edges can dig into your skin. That's why we use the nylon/polypro.

    One thing, to sharpen those scissors get a coffee cup and do like you're cutting the handle. It will sharpen those scissors and won't damage the coffee cup.

  • @cliveburks

    I cut my 6mm soles with a Stanley knife I found it easier than the scissors I had. I made a slight mistake with the toe curve but doesn’t effect the function just not exactly symmetrical but only noticeable to me. Still looking to get balance right between tight enough to not flap around and too tight and uncomfortable on the toe. I am considering buying the genesis model I am addicted as have also recently bought Ztrail and Ztrek will wear one pair every day until late September hopefully.

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  13 лет назад

    @Naytazno We don't know yet; nobody has worn a pair out. I've been wearing the same pair for over 18 months and they're still in great shape.

    ich habe das so gemacht: ich habe mir im internet vibram sohle als platte geholt (bei extrem textil oder so). dabei gibts verschiedene mm. habe ne recht dicke sohle genommen, spitze steine sind nicht spürbar, aber man kann ganz gut den untergrund fühlen.

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  14 лет назад

    @emacwakeup It depends on how much you wear them. But with the Vibram sole material we use, a LONG time. I wear mine a lot, and in 6 months you can barely tell. You can try a lot of different sole materials -- leather, car floor mats, you name it... each one will have a different feel and perform differently. We like the Vibram because it's VERY barefoot-ish, but adds good protection.

  • @GShoe32
    @GShoe32 13 лет назад

    @invisibleshoes Yeah I tried and it just punctured the material so I got a 3$ leather punch instead. btw the new connect sole is great!

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  13 лет назад

    @flamedrag18 I've tried 550 paracord. I'm not a huge fan. a) it's a bit elastic (which allows your foot to slide on the sole); b) it flattens out (makes it less comfortable); c) it was WAY more expensive than what we use.
    That said, some people have used it and like it.

  • @kaitlynmcrae7222
    @kaitlynmcrae7222 3 года назад

    I'm looking for a better look at the textures on both sides of this sole! I am wondering if I should purchase, but the website doesn't zoom in very well and this video is old and low resolution.

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  14 лет назад

    @poetias Well, most tires are now steel-belted, so cutting those would be pretty tough. If you have non-steel belted tires, you can try that. It'll be much stiffer and heavier than using something like the Vibram sole we use.

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  13 лет назад

    @banginchains You could try it. But I haven't found a hole punch that's strong enough. You could also use a drill bit. Or you could find a leather/shoe repair shop and ask to borrow their punch (we've heard from customers who've done that)

  • @Mrguitarman321
    @Mrguitarman321 12 лет назад

    carpeting, duct tape, old tires, the material he is using is from Vibram, its their 4 millimeter cherry material

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  13 лет назад

    @francescaXsmurff You can try a 1/8" drill bit (make sure to let the drill remove material, instead of simply pushing the bit through the rubber). Also, you can find a leather/shoe repair shop... they'll have a punch that, most likely, they'll let you use.

  • @MANOSW
    @MANOSW 8 лет назад

    Hola Steven , just an idea for the knot that is under the sole . You could make a smaller knot and light it , and while the knot is still hot , hammering it lightly from the sole. saludos de Arg

    • @stevensashen6956
      @stevensashen6956 8 лет назад

      +MANOSW Yes... we show something very similar in our "Lace Bead" videos. Go to www.xeroshoes.com/tying, then click on any of the images for tying styles with a knot and you'll see the Lace Bead videos.

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  13 лет назад

    @GShoe32 Thanks... we love the new FeelTrue soles (and it seems everyone else does, too ;-) )

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  13 лет назад

    @GShoe32 You can. But some bits work better than others. Your goal is to remove the material, not just puncture the rubber.

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  14 лет назад

    Well, you can make huaraches out of almost any sole material. But the problem with most of the beach sandals I can think of is that: a) They're thick, so you won't get that "barefoot feel;" b) They're not very flexible, so they may, well, flip and flop a bit too much, and; c) The rubber they're made with probably won't handle running too well.
    That said, it would still be a fun project. Keep me posted about the results you get.

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  13 лет назад

    @rnecas We haven't heard of anyone wearing out a pair yet, and that's with the 4mm (I'm not a big fan of the 6mm... a bit too stiff for my taste, and much harder to cut and work with)

  • @ThatsKrixie

    hey ☺ very interessting, I ordered some material to do some for me. but I have a question, does the lace don't break out? greetings from germany 😊

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  14 лет назад

    @stringsofserenyti No, you can't get this kind of sole material at Home Depot or an A&C store. We buy it from Vibram, in bulk. You can get a complete kit (including the Vibram Cherry sole material) at invisibleshoe-dot-com

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  13 лет назад

    @spartandwales So, if it's only happening on one foot, that means you're doing something different with your right foot/leg than with your left. It can't be the shoes, or it would happen on both feet. So, the question is: How to get your right foot/leg to work the way your left is? Hard for me to diagnose from 2 sentences (easy to see from a video). But, my guess is that you're either overstriding (reaching w/your foot) or pushing off the ground instead of lifting your foot. Play w/those ideas.

  • @invisibleshoes
    @invisibleshoes  14 лет назад

    @fetymann I know. It raises the interesting question that one encounters every time you come back from some country that originated a word that has been adopted by Americans: Do you use the American pronunciation even though you know the correct one, or do you use the correct one and risk sounding like a jerk? ;-) (we debate that over the word "sauna" after coming back from Finland where we spent a lot of time in "sa-ow-na")

    @invisibleshoes normally you don't mispronounce someone's name, which I'm sure you know Vibram comes from the name Vitale Bramani.

    Oh, and it's not the string, because you'll notice that the string doesn't touch that part of your foot. (but let me know about the 1 or both feet question).
