it was left to swiss engineer karl muller to discover the secret of the masai : the simple fact that walking barefoot on soft , natural ground means that they have to balance their bodies with each and every step .
the nike free hit the fourth year of production with the v4 , at a time where barefoot running had hit its peak with the publication of chris macdonald’s book and countless articles on the subject . following nike’s system of 1 . 0 being a barefoot shoe and 10 . 0 being a traditional runner , the 5 . 0 was advertised as the perfect transitional shoe . the all - mesh upper featured minimal supportive bands , leaving room for improvement in future models .

it’s hard to believe it’s been almost ten years since the first nike free hit the market . the shoe that brought the concept of barefoot running to the mainstream has remained a best seller for the swoosh , equally accepted by athletes and fashionistas alike .
adjoining the café is the barefoot gallery , which regularly hosts exhibitions by some of sri lanka’s most talented artists . above the gallery is the newly opened print gallery which sells photographs by the three blind men , dominic sansoni , sebastian possingis and rukshan jayawardene .
barefoot ( pvt ) ltd today is a design house that produces beautiful handloom fabric , which is sold by the metre or made into a wide range of cleverly created practical products . today these are sold in three shops in sri lanka and exported around the world .
muller’s discovery did not happen in africa but during a residence in korea . whenever he suffered from back pain he walked barefoot over paddy fields - which quickly relieved his complaints . he tried to understand this perplexing observation - and stumbled across the secret of the masai .
in addition to our own barefoot line , we also offer products from nike , under armour , adidas , bella , reef , smith , suncloud , holloway , columbia , american apparel , alternative apparel , augusta , 47 brand , legacy , richardson , pacific , etc . . .
thanks to “natural motion engineering” technology , nike took the challenge of then - new barefoot running trend to the masses by encouraging athletes to build a stronger feet . the v2 featured a snug medial fit , a tripled - stitched heel , and a little more forefoot cushioning then the original .
after his return to switzerland karl muller began to develop a footwear technology that would make the natural instability of soft surfaces accessible to people forced to move on hard ground . over many years of research and development “masai barefoot technology” was perfected to the stage where it was ready to be introduced to the market .
sold as
ideal if you & apos ; re a runner who wants the strengthening and natural gait management benefits associated with barefoot training , but also needs the cushioning , traction and underfoot protection of a shoe . a brs 1000 carbon rubber outsole and a phylite midsole provided the durability and flexibility in version 3 of the trainer .
ventilation upgrades made the v2 an out of the box pleaser , with a one - piece mesh upper for lightweight comfort , breathability , and flexibility . the no - sew overlays furthered the barefoot - like fit and feel , while the heel shape was updated to better fit the foot and the forefoot was expanded for a roomier toe - box .
the second generation of the ‘everyday’ running shoe served as a transitional shoe for people that were interested in the benefits of the barefoot running trend without wanting to jump in headfirst via a pair of vibram fivefingers . the everyday was the only free shoe that featured a nike zoom until in the heel , a cushioning material for extra support and durability .
and when you’re tired out after a hard day’s shopping , the barefoot café , nestled in a frangipani garden at the back of the shop , is the perfect place to unwind and recover . sitting beneath a tree at the barefoot café , you won’t believe you’re in the heart of the city . and the food is to die for - delicious international and fusion cuisine . the black pork curry is a particular favourite with regulars . and the cheesecake is simply out of this world . live music is a particular feature of the café . on friday evenings there’s jazz by the music matters trio at 6 . 30 to 9 . there’s a regular live performance on saturday afternoons . and on sunday afternoons there’s sunday jazz from 12 - to 4 .
released with numbering system from 0 ( barefoot ) to 10 ( “normal” running shoe ) from free 3 . 0 to free 7 . 0 , there was talk of nike wanting to do a scale of 0 – 12 , but years later we & apos ; ve only seen a 3 . 0 , 4 . 0 . 5 . 0 , and 7 . 0 . ( the reason for a

sole , but then again the nike free has never stuck to the a simple titling or numeral system like most brands . ) this original free featured a skeleton print on the insole for a literal interpretation of a “barefoot” ride , an upper that leaves room for improvement for breathability , and a traditional lacing system .
perhaps considered a redemption shoe for many runners of past generations , the nike free is a landmark shoe for the brand that sustained many running myths over the past few decades including a raised heel or excessive cushioning and overlays . the original free from 2004 transitioned from the brand’s approach to barefoot running to eventually accommodate training to become everyone’s favorite coffee shop runner today , here is the complete performance history of the nike free .
who remembers the nike free mary jane si ? well the free gym + could be seen as the performance - enabled conclusion to the slipper - like free , marketed as a
second skin
for yogis and gym goers alike . created as a dynamic foot protector , this free brought back barefoot ' s first love , toe separation , for a slipper to keep athletes safe with a herringbone traction outsole and multidirectional flex grooves . < ! - - nextpage - - >
the team is celebrating a much - awaited comeback into the exhibition arena . breaking the tradition of what used to be an almost - annual event , they last showed to the public about five years ago . there were many reasons in the mix for the hiatus , say the designers , but they couldn’t be more thrilled to be back on home turf taking a break from their positions of authority within the barefoot team to just kick back and do what they love the best : create .
“i ended up having a 20 - minute talk with my principal about the company and the mission . he thought it was a great concept , but also talked about sanitation policies for the school , ” said kaufmann . “i suppose i didn ' t think about walking barefoot through a school of 2 , 000 high school students and what could be living among the hallways , cafeteria , locker room , etc . yet , that was the point ! children in other countries were walking among much worse things . ”
originally engineered by tobie hatfield and eric avar , the free was first inspired by stanford athletes that were training barefoot on the university’s golf course . taking this study back to the nike campus , in 2002 a group of men and women examined wearing pressure - measuring insoles taped to their feet and captured their data with high speed cameras to study the foot in motion . the result of an eight year extensive study yielded the understanding of a “natural” landing stride , demanding a new running shoe from the brand with minimal heel to toe offset , unconventional shape , and a super phylon flexible outsole .

a small team of dedicated designers headed by barbara’s son dominic sansoni work in collaboration with dyers , weavers and skilled sewers to produce a small number of high - quality garments .

the story behind colombo’s hottest new fashion label c . h . a . r . l . e . n . e . by charlene thuring from aod

barbara sansoni was 11 years old when she met maria montessori . having fled to india after being exiled by mussolini during wwii , maria’s school in the olcott garden bungalow already had a small complement of students . now , here was this child in need of her guidance . barbara , enrolled close by in a boarding school in [ . . . ]
fully occupied : barbara at home with her books , crossword and creations . pic by susantha liyanawatte
over the course of their conversation , maria discovered that barbara loved to draw and her advice was that she draw as much as she could – history would be figures of people , maths little groups of pebbles that she could add to or subtract from . this made sense to barbara , whose letters home were already filled with sketches of cartoon figures , each more expressive to her than any sentence she could have constructed . “still , it wasn’t as easy as that , but she was a wonderful woman , ” says barbara , remembering .
she would write in a poem titled houses and faces : ‘to me it isn’t important who lived in the house , history / doesn’t make ugly things beautiful – but age does / a face , after all , is a house , built centuries ago by genes . ’ by the beginning of the 1960s , barbara’s drawings of old buildings were already being published in the ceylon daily mirror . she would go looking in villages and rural hamlets for architectural gems ( and would often be asked by the villagers if she could sketch them too . ) she did this ,
she says , because she wanted to share her pleasure in the buildings but her sketches now serve too as memorials to structures long torn down and destroyed . it was these that first brought ronald into her life – visiting the island to conduct research , he had been determined to meet the artist who had created these charming drawings and who simultaneously penned pragmatic articles on the use of perforated walls that ‘breathed . ’
when barbara became involved in the project , the women were only weaving towels and dish cloths with a simple stripe at one end . barbara saw that if they were to make a profit from these and sell them abroad , she would have to bring an entirely new aesthetic to the design that would appeal to a much wider audience . “i was also a friend of the traditional weavers and i didn’t want to get my weavers to start copying their things , ” she says .
increasingly , barbara saw they were doing good in the communities they worked with . she is echoing maria montessori’s opinion when she says : “when you meet children who have been uneducated you can’t go back , too many years have passed , a skill is the best education a brain can have . ” proficiency in weaving could still develop the whole person . they would simultaneously acquire a whole gamut of other abilities – from problem solving , to basic mathematics , manual dexterity and a discipline that would serve them well in all aspects of their lives .
when money became tight , barbara took the extremely unconventional step of selling the girls’ products in her own home ( her invitation to drinks read : ‘you will find various things , handwoven by poor girls around the place . don’t let me feel ashamed that i have put them there . ’ ) her trusted butler ekanayake would be standing at the ready to offer a price on the neat little parcels and would handle the money afterward – barbara never having overcome her fear of doing math .
from that point on , the small business would only grow in renown . in 1970 a prestigious rockefeller scholarship would allow her to tour 14 countries and meet some of the world’s most emminent designers , but she really knew she had arrived when geoffrey bawa chose to use her fabrics in the lighthouse hotel . ( they were friends , but she knew he would not have singled her out unless he genuinely admired her work . ) her design team also swelled to encompass the likes of marie gnanaraj and preethi hapuwatta , who she would collaborate with in years to come .
her confidence and stubbornness sprang from how fully she embraced life . “i love life , i like laughing , i don’t take it seriously…those were the clothes i felt most comfortable in and they were lovely to look at , ” she says .
as we talk , ronald writes in a copy of ‘a passion for faces’ and hands it over for barbara to sign . her voice softens always when she speaks to him , he who probably knows her best and takes such pride in her accomplishments . there is much joking about how she wields her walking stick to bring him into line . as i am about to leave , having been pressed to accept a milk toffee , she pulls me back to tell me sotto - voce that she is most profoundly grateful for him . “write that down , ” she says , “and also that i wouldn’t have been able to do it without the stick ! ”
the dumbara weaving products are produced with a family of sinhala weavers using traditional arabic designs that the family’s been using since the seventeenth century . this beautiful range includes cushion covers , bedspreads , table runners and wall hangings . there is also a range of batik cushion covers that were originally created using designs by ena de silva .
above the gallery is the newly opened print gallery which sells photographs by the three blind men , dominic sansoni , sebastian possingis and rukshan jayawardene .

in 2006 , blake mycoskie started toms , a for - profit business with a social mission , with the simple idea of wanting to put a pair of shoes on a child . since its inception , toms has grown into a global business that , for every product purchased , donates to help a person in need . today , toms gives in over 70 countries and has distributed more than 35 million pairs of shoes to children in need .
anna kaufmann , 23 , a recent graduate from hope college in holland , michigan , participated in two one day without shoes events while in high school , mentioning that she felt awkward and nervous at first because she was not sure how her peers would respond .
in 2006 she participated in the event before toms was a well - known company . being one of few high school students to participate , kaufmann was escorted to the principal’s office and asked to put shoes on due to the school’s sanitation policies .
kaufmann explains that she wanted to participate in the event because of her passion for social enterprise and a desire to educate her peers on issues facing the world outside their school hallways . she says , “people were incredibly intrigued and i know at least one peer of mine ended up buying a pair of toms . ”
“i think it ' s important to first introduce the mission and the passion , ” kaufmann explains , “with this type of event , people participate because they know attentions will be caught and hopefully lead to a call to action . that ' s the key . ”
kaufmann’s experience proves what toms hopes to accomplish through its one day without shoes campaign because the company wants their consumers to understand how their products are helping those in need . moreover , the company has evolved into a social movement working alongside like - minded retailers to engage and interact customers beyond their purchases .
with the initiation of the toms marketplace , the company has been able to provide a platform for other socially conscious organizations to sell their products . toms uses the online marketplace to present products from other purpose - driven brands , which has helped consumers find other retailers with a social mission , such as krochet kids , the honest company and cleobella . when you arrive on the marketplace landing page , it reads , “our online destination to support like - minded brands that give back” and customers can filter by the retail products or companies they are interested in .
based on marketing agency good . must . grow’s data , consumers ranked toms first when naming a company that is social responsible .
through its awareness campaigns and online marketplace , toms helps engage both consumers and brands on the idea of using retail for social good . this year’s one day without shoes event will be held on may 21 .

containing a sturdy brs 1000 outsole for extra durability and what looks now like a completely archaic upper , the mesh upper was a material upgrade from the previous version which featured heavier fabric overlays . the two panel mesh upper created a snug , compression fit , while the eva midsole and strengthening brs1000 carbon continued to supply durability . weighing in at 5 . 6 ounces , the 3 . 0 was a super lightweight runner .
the nike free concept spreads to crosstraining with the sparq with less cushioning than a traditional shoe . said to perform well on lateral moves , this cross - trainer featured more overlays than the current offerings .
weighing in at 11 oz , the training shoe featured a two - way stretch upper for improved movement and a firmer midsole for greater lateral support . the beefed - up trainer may have packing extra weight , but this was the free & apos ; s first foray into cross training categories that would later serve as a major part of the nike free brand .
the successor to the discontinued nike free 5 . 0 v4 , the run + featured a sensor to work with the run + running monitoring ipod system . breathability received vast improvements in this model , as the run + was designed with a two part upper to provide more structure than the previous model . this shoe was a trailblazer in the looks department for the free , with the early signs of sleek mesh and sporty overlays .
the n7 collection is nike & apos ; s eco - conscious effort to build high performance with a low environmental impact . with an asymmetrical lacing system to reduce pressure over the top of the foot and a molded sockliner made to mimic the curvature of the foot , the phylite midsole solidifies a resilient ride .
breaking in a brand new upper construction , the nike free walk + included a combination of mesh and perforated synthetic leather overlay , a phylite midsole and rubber inserts for extra durability in those high - wear zones . the “walk” was never super popular , but did make an important stride to bringing extra durability to the former running model . < ! - - nextpage - - >
with an improved fit thanks to an enlarged toe box and slightly assymetrical lacing system , the free run 2 didn & apos ; t just look good , it felt better than the previous running models . the version responsible for the massive lifestyle following the shoe now carries , the run 2 featured sleek synthetic leather overlays for a completely new look than what you & apos ; d expect of a running shoe . the sole & apos ; s segments were adjusted as well for more consistent flex grooves to inspire a smooth ride .
designed for comfort and support , the tr was built for any workout , from kick - boxing to pilates . this low profile shoe relied on an internal structural support system for multidirectional movement . the combination synthetic leather and mesh upper that supports the no - sew , one piece upper supplied breathability while the internal heel counter was coupled with an overlay at the heel for a better fit , even in the most demanding situations .
weighing in at 9 . 3 ounces for a men & apos ; s 9 , this free was the lightest 3 . 0 model yet , boasting an abrasion - resistant carbon rubber for a higher durability rate and reflective details on the upper . nike free run + designer mark miner demonstrates how the shoes move in this clip :

hard surfaces are quite a strain on our feet , as our weight is only distributed over three pressure points .
healthy posture begins with our anatomically formed footbed . our neutral heel encourages a healthy , balanced walking gait , keeping 90 % of the body’s weight focused on the heel , where it should be , rather than shifting pressure onto the more delicate metatarsals and toes . walking in high heels leads to an abnormal posture , where the body’s axes are out of balance .
many shoes are designed much too narrow for the shape of the foot and as a result the natural walking action of the foot is constrained . the birkenstock footbed was inspired by the shape of a healthy foot and provides feet with the room for movement they naturally require .
1 . deep heel cup – gives the foot a firm hold and stabilises the heel . 2 . transverse arch support with metatarsal raise – helps shift pressure from the middle to the front of the foot . 3 . medial and lateral longitudinal support – balances the feet when walking . 4 . toe grip – guides the toes and promotes natural rolling motion of the foot . 5 . cork , latex and jute footbed – is extremely flexible and naturally cushions the foot to allow a more natural gait . 6 . suede leather cover – absorbs moisture and significantly increases wearing comfort as a result of skin friendly features . 7 . footbed rim – extends upwards to cradle your foot and protect the toes .
in 1774 johann adam birkenstock was listed in church archives as a shoemaker and subject .
at the beginning of the 1960’s karl birkenstock developed the madrid fitness sandal , which had the first flexible deep cork footbed in the world , thereby laying a cornerstone for today’s comfort shoe market .
birkenstock has enjoyed enormous success since its introduction to ireland in 1990 by woodstock footwear ltd .

when he arrived at nevatim , ben porat saw that there was a large scale attack under way , although the terrain - which afforded the arabs camouflage - prevented him from assessing the number of attackers involved . since it was not possible to shoot in the direction of flight - only diagonally and downwards - ben porat tilted the aircraft towards the target he chose each time , and told the gunner when to fire . the two fired and threw grenades on any spot where they saw people , or thought people might be hiding . it was not long before the attackers began fleeing for their lives .
