Our next evolution in Class 1 trail running is inspired by the Tarahumara tribes of Mexico, whose name means "those who run fast". These amazing athletes are best known for their superior running abilities while wearing minimal thong style sandals. The Tara Lite for men takes the best aspects of the Tarahumara sandal and adds the protection, stability and traction benefits of our Class I trail runners.
Built on the BareTech platform with a zero drop heel, runners can enjoy all the benefits of a natural gait with the exceptional stability and protection of our Soft Against the Ground technology on all terrain. The "second skin" upper provides comfort and lightweight protection from the elements.
The internal "sandal" thong and our unique closure system provides adjustable fit, security. And energy efficiency by preventing excessive foot movement.
Our newest outsole, the Sticky Gecko, is inspired by the gravity-defying "traction" of geckos. The 350 small GripstickTM rubber lugs replicate the tiny hairs on a gecko's feet that create surface contact and friction.
