We interview Lee Saxby and Asher Clark.  
Asher Clark, the head designer at Terra Plana and Vivobarefoot, tells us about his career path, shoe design, and gives some hints about the product we can expect in the coming months and even years.  Lee faces a challenging question about whether Vivobarefoot training clinics are a conflict of interest.  We discuss recent study results and the effects these results have on both Lee and Asher's work.  Join us for this frank and interesting interview.

We Discuss:

  • What are our responsibilities as barefooters?  Do we have a responsibility as "ambassadors"?  
  • How to respond to comments and questions made by the public
  • Strike patterns - how do they differ between barefooters and minimalist shoe wearers
  • Defining the work "minimalist".  What are the benefits and difficulties of creating a standard definition.  Is the loose use of the word "barefoot" causing problems?
