Look how ugly these sandals are. They look like a radioactive gummy bear crapped on a milk crate. But these Sazzi sports sandals are actually biomimetically designed to keep your feet safe from uneven terrain, if not deeply judgmental eyes.
Barefoot running has been popular for a few years now. The five-fingered shoes you see pounding down the sidewalk really do help people stabilise themselves while they run by letting the muscles in your toes and feet do the work they were meant to do. Same goes for the Sazzi sandals, except, like, as sandals.
You probably won’t be putting in a lot of roadwork with these, but they might warrant a look. Er, wear. They warrant a wear. Don’t look directly at them. They’ll be out in May for $US80-$100. [Sazzi via The Gear Caster]
