Earth Runners Launches Support Project

Inspired by our Raramuri friends simple approach to natural design footwear Earth Runners was created to make barefoot adventure sandals that maintain our connection to the earth, while allowing us to operate and explore even on the wildest landscape this planet has to offer.

Earth Runners wanted to give back and support the Raramuri peoples and culture and we are excited to announce they have launched “1% For the Tarahumara” project supporting True Messages. Thanks most kindly Amigos!

-From the Earth Runners website on the 1% project…

We created Earth Runners sandals to help people connect to nature. Earth Runners are inspired by ancient huarache running sandals, which allow feet to be free and secure while enabling the most primal adventures. We are grateful to the Tarahumara for originating this design and feel fortunate to have the ability to give back and honor the creators of the huarache running sandal.

We donate 1% of all sales to True Messages, a non-profit focused on honoring the running heritage that remains so important to the Rarámuri culture. All donations to True Messages go to projects focused on honoring the Raramuri peoples and the children of the Sierra Tarahumara. True Messages listens to the input of the local National community to determine where to allocate resources which includes sponsoring races, trail projects, and initiatives to support the youth of the community.

Thank you for helping us support the Tarahumara!
