Sole Runner T1 Allrounder


Several teammates and I had the extraordinary good fortune to be chosen to test the very latest in cutting edge, minimalist running wear - the T1 Allrounder by Sole Runner.

Our mission was to see for ourselves whether the T1 Allrounder could actually out-do mother-nature in providing a natural, barefoot running experience. We were all pretty excited when our teammate Cory brought the shipment of T1 Allrounders to our track workout a month ago, and even more excited when we tried the shoes on and saw just how stylish they are (see picture).

In fact the Allrounder is just so fashionable that rather than run in them, I chose to wear them to the big party on my street the following weekend. The other wannabe urban hipsters were struggling to look cool in their heavy combat boots, their ballet flats and their tired old black-and-white check Converse. When I walked in wearing my T1 Allrounders conversations stopped as people looked admiringly at my shoe selection; numerous people asked me what they were and where they could buy them. I continue to wear them when lounging at various coffee shops, Harajuku clothing stores, and trendy bars.
They even match my urban hipster bike messenger bag and gives me that random, ironic and eccentric look that we all are working so hard to achieve....

You are truly the style leader of the club. But the question remains...HOW ARE THEY TO RUN IN??

The Allrounder is way too cool to actually run in. They might get dirty...

I wore the Allrounder for sitting outside sipping coffee at Segafredo yesterday then used old Adizero racing flats for running.

Are they biodegradable?

They look biodegradable. That would be consistent with German, minimalist, environmentally-friendly image.
