My good friend and founder of Invisible Shoes Steven Sashen recently released a spoof video titled "Sh*t Barefoot Runners Say," playing into the meme created by a certain twitter user (with nearly 3mm followers!) (By the way, follow BirthdayShoes on twitter via @bdayshoes if you aren't already!).
A couple of my favorite parts:
"I don't care if it is a wedding I'm not going to wear those foot coffins you call shoes."
"I've got the Kinvara, Hattori, my KSOs, my Bikilas, I've got the new Altras, I've got the Skechers GoRun, I've got MBTs, I've got Insivible Shoes, I've got Luna Sandals, I'm TOTALLY into barefoot."
The whole bit about about how to pronounce Tarahumara is hilarious (I pronounce it "Tah-rah-ooo-mah-rah," which I think is right though now I'm not so sure). Or the awful mispronunciation of huaraches (I pronounce it "hoo-wah-rah-cheeze," I think).
In the event you're after some affordable huaraches that, for the buck, really can't be beat, you should do yourself a favor and check out Invisible Shoes (The kits start at a mere $20-25).
That is, if you really are into barefoot.
About the Author — I founded BirthdayShoes.com in April 2009 on realizing just how much I enjoyed having "free feet" - I mostly wanted to use them for weights, sprints, and plyometrics (I'm not much of a runner!). I'm a Googler by day and minimalist footwear aficionado by night; you can find me 'round Atlanta.

This video had be ROLLING..too bad I'm the only one in my office who 'got' it. 
GRAVEL! GRAVEL! GRAVEL! 
Very funny, and yes one can only get it if one is very deeply involved in a minimalist lifestyle or spends a lot of time on this site... Few of my friends would understand... 
I disagree with some of the stuff that Steve normally says, but this video is totally awesome. 
terrible pronunciation 
Loved this, still smiling. 
Wow, hilarious! I really liked the line about Bikila. 
I was talking to people all morning about barefoot running today at a 15k race, and I sounded just like this video.
