http://www.softstarshoes.com/live-bare-blog/
At Soft Star Shoes, we make barefoot and minimalist shoes for babies, kids, adults and runners. We believe that barefoot is best and all of our shoes are made to be lightweight, flexible and allow as much natural movement as possible. We make all of our products by hand in our Oregon workshop using eco-friendly materials. Check out our blog for our latest designs, foot health news and stories from our shoemaking elves.
