Medieval Foot Armor Chainmail Shoes – Now with more Chaffing

paleos_shoes_1Apparently there is a ‘barefoot shoes’ market? Yes some folks like the barefoot feeling…I on the other hand like the protection from twigs, small rocks, dirt, cockroaches, and some forms of liquid.

Enter the PaleosBarefoots, from the mind of Gost, a German company that takes minimalist running in a very bizarre direction.

For about $250 and made from interlinked rings of stainless steel, the PaleoBarefoots promise the same near barefoot experience as other minimalist running shoes, but with increased protection and better breathability.
