I like mixing things up to create new things, or what James Altucher calls "idea sex." My barefoot dress shoe, Chronology? That's some sweet, sweet, idea sex. And James Burnette's "Survival with a Punk Attitude"? Yea, hardcore idea sex. James and Mike are hilarious and this was a fun show to be on.

What is the best zero-drop, minimalist, barefoot, Primal, Paleo, thin, flexible, ergonomic, and wide toebox dress shoe? That you can wear to interviews, work, the office, weddings, funerals, and other formal events?

The Vivobarefoot Lisbon vs the Carets Fer. This is the ultimate showdown.

Quite possibly the most minimalist boots on the planet.

 

Today, Chronology officially joins ~1,200 eco-conscious businesses as a member of One Percent for the Planet (1FTP).

 

What is 1FTP?

1FTP is a network of businesses that pledge 1% of their sales to nonprofits. Specifically, nonprofits that are protecting, restoring, and improving the planet we all live in. 

I recently came across a few great shoes that may influence how I design my own. Since you guys enjoyed my newsletters on boot development so much (here's one), I decided to share my thoughts on these shoes, which will shine a light on how our own products might change as I learn from my peers. I also enjoy sharing products that I love, with you.
