Earth Runners is a mission-driven company that seeks to re-establish our connection with nature and promote healthier lifestyles through barefoot adventures. Their unique products are designed to emulate the primal experience of being barefoot, encouraging a more natural and sustainable approach to movement.
Founded by Mike Dally, the story of Earth Runners is rooted in a single adventure turned idea. On a trail with only flip-flops to protect his feet, Mike designed his first pair of adventure sandals with materials found in his pack. Drawing inspiration from the Tarahumara Natives renowned for their trail running in simple huarache sandals, Mike developed a product that merges modern innovation with ancestral wisdom.
Earth Runners sandals are specifically designed for all of Earth’s diverse terrains and conditions. The minimal yet robust huarache sandal design offers a balance between barefoot protection and maximum proprioceptive awareness.
Born in a Silicon Valley garage, Earth Runners has grown steadily, refining and expanding their offerings, which now include Ergonomic lifestyle laces, mobility toe spacers, and toe socks. Their products are designed to free your feet, inviting you to rewild your soles.
The company is also committed to giving back to communities that inspire them. In appreciation of the Tarahumara tribe, whose huarache sandals are the inspiration for Earth Runners, they donate 1% of all sales to True Messages, a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the running heritage of the Rarámuri culture.
