The wrapped construction of the performance lace is designed to stretch very little under load or when wet.
Handcrafted for foot freedom in our San Francisco Bay Area workshop.
I am a rugby player and have been having pretty significant issues with "turf toe" (google it) for the past year. My foot had been getting worse and worse no matter what footwear I tried - sneakers vs flip flops vs crocs vs cleats. I was to the point of limping around work every day and had to stop running for a bit. Meanwhile, I had been following EarthRunners on instagram for a while and doing research into barefoot life. I finally bit the bullet and bought a pair to give it a shot. Within 2 months of solely wearing my EarthRunners on my farm (thanks summertime), my foot feels 95% better. I love, love, love my EarthRunners. I have to wear close-toed shoes at work but my pain is significantly reduced in my sneakers now. Unreal.
I instantly loved how easy it was to put em on, how confortable they are, and their cool look. I’m from Chihuahua, so these bring back memories! Thanks, Isa
hi,i've just tried yesterday my sandals on a mountain-rocky path,and i'm very happy about them; i use them to walk in mountain(also with rucksack)and little trail running.i've no complaints about laces or the customer experience.
you worked very well!
I bought a pair of Alpha adventure sandals. At first they were a bit tight ...but once adjusted they are awesome!
Expect a little break in time but overall a great design. I wore them kayaking all day, then had a couple mile run along the ocean! If I had one improvement, I would suggest a bit more comfort in between tie area. Though, I might just have to break them in further.

Who is the ideal candidate for the Alpha Earth Runners?
The thicker cushion sole of the Alpha is great for those new to minimal footwear or for those looking to rack up a lot of miles or carry a heavier load.
How do I decide between the Alpha Lifestyle Sandals or Alpha Adventure Sandals?
The only difference between these two Alpha models are the lace, with the performance laced (adventure) sandals costing $5 more than the lifestyle laced edition. The lifestyle laces offer slightly more comfort while the performance (adventure) lace is more burly & secure. They come in different color schemes which may be a deciding factor.
Can these be used for trail running?
Yes, the Alpha is great for most trails.
Is the Hemp Earth-Grip footbed Organic?
The footbed is dyed in small batches using GOTS certified organic dye in Los Angeles California. The fabric itself is not certified organic.The farmers in India who grow our cotton use traditional practices that have been in place for over 100 years--before non-organic fertilizers were introduced.
We laminate theEarth-Gripfootbed to the Vibram® outsole using solvent free thermal adhesive.
