Steven Sashen is the visionary, marketer, and CEO of Xero Shoes. He is a Masters All-American sprinter (one of the fastest men over the age of 50 in the US) and former All-American gymnast. He was also a professional stand-up comic, cognitive psychology researcher, and taught Tai Chi and Zen Archery. He started Xero Shoes after drawing inspiration from reading Born to Run and experiencing first hand the power of running barefoot.  It wasn't until he suffered constant running related injuries in regular shoes when he was recommended by a friend to read Born to Run and  noticed that running barefoot eliminated his injuries.  He looked to the Tarahumura Runners and developed his very own huaraches running sandals.  From there, well the rest is now history as Xero Shoes were soon after created for everyone to now engage in the barefoot experience.

Today at GIR, we sit down to discuss going barefoot for life.  I mean we're born barefoot and probably ran around as children without shoes, so why aren't we doing it now as adults.  We discuss what the literature says as to the potential athletic and health benefits when training barefoot.  We also, talk about the different brands we have tried over the years, and which ones we have come to like best.  So don't be a shrewd, instead jump out of those narrow pointy heels you're wearing and join us in this talk about experiencing the freedom you get when you feel the earth under your feet.     To donate and become a Show Patreon Member click here https://www.patreon.com/GetItRa  Watch on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdwttRw4sudrGN6u3Gf1Myw/videos  Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Get-It-RA-363158217990024  Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/GetItRA_Podcast
