minimalist sandals
When i say minimalist sandals it is a little redundant for the reasons listed below. When saying sandals I particularly mean flip-flops. Basic flip-flops are the most practical solution to the barefoot question. Most basic flip-flops have the characteristics of barefoot footwear. They are: thin, flexible, lightweight, and allow your foot to be free to wiggle. Flip-flops do strengthen your feet which is why you may feel your arch muscles sore after wearing them. So by simplicity they are minimal to begin with.

huaraches
Huaraches are homemade sandals, composed of two simple parts: an ultra-thin rubber sole & a piece of strapping. You make a trace of your foot & cut the rubber sole to fit exactly to your foot. These are the same sandals that the Tarahumara tribal Mexicans wear when the run through the remote hills of Mexico.
