Hommo Sandals Models:
As I said, theoretically you could make any type of sandal you wanted but Hommo Sandals offers a few models that have been developed and that they offer to facilitate the process of choice because you only have to choose the model and particular colours and finishes to have sandals that we know that they will give an ideal result because they have been previously tested by many people.Currently, the following predefined varieties are available in the "catalogue":
- Cross Simian: The most versatile of the family, an all-rounder Swiss Army Knife. Thick Vibram outsole with EVA midsole for cushioning and consistency that allows you to run almost anywhere without fear. This has been the one chosen for the full test so we will describe it in detail.
- Cro-MagnonThey break the classical scheme of the strip between the first two fingers and the first two toes. are fastened by wrapping around the big toe and offering three attachment points. The grip achieved is so good that it is on a no finger" version with the loop around the big toe removed.. Pure innovation and transgression for the most daring sandal wearers, a new experience and great comfort for those who don't quite get used to wearing a strap between the first two toes.
- Sapiens: For the most demanding puristsThe knots of the plant have been hidden in a way that increases the duration and eliminates the interferences that can be produced by the knots when stepping on them. Lighter than the Cross SimmianPerfect for asphalt and not overly technical trail terrain. Fastening by means of straps and an adjustment mechanism with pins that allows them to be adjusted to the millimetre very easily.
- Morlude: Classic sandal minimalismBoth in materials and design: leather strap for lacing, leather insole, no straps, ... ideal as walking sandals or as running sandals for purists who want something as close as possible to a tarahumara huarache.
- Primate I: The lightestThe sole is only five millimetres thick, with just 65 grams per sandal and only a thin layer of leather as an insole to prevent the foot from slipping. To adjust them, a simple lace with a strap that makes the process much easier than the traditional lacing of a pair of huaraches.
- Primate II: An evolution on the Primate I with a slightly thicker sole. so that they are somewhat more suitable for running with them on more complicated terrains. Do not be fooled by the fact that they double the thickness of the sole because, even though they double the thickness of the soles compared to thePrimate IThe weight is only 100 grams.
As you can see, there are options for all tastes, and the materials are of the highest quality: Vibram soles, leather insoles, etc. and the fact that all the pieces of the puzzle are put together to make acobbler who knows all about gluing soles, insoles and so on, so the result is literally exceptional.
The Cross Simian In-Depth Test:
As I told you, after a lot of analysis and discussion with the master craftsman from Hommo SandalsWe came to the conclusion that the most suitable ones for my usage profile would be the Cross Simian so these are the ones I'll tell you more about later, when I've had them crushed and I've been able to test them thoroughly.But beware that they are not a Cross Simian but, demonstrating the restlessness and desire to improve that I mentioned earlier, he suggested that I test a prototype of the "bottom" that he decided to try out, which varies slightly from the thicknesses he had been using up to that moment.
As you can imagine, I didn't hesitate for a second to say yes, so the in-depth test will be with the first Cross Simian specimen made with the 6 + 3 + 1 (6 mm sole + 3 mm midsole + 1 mm insole) and, in addition, with the Octopus 15 closure to give a little more support.
The following photo is just to give you a little preview and I can already tell you that it works like a charm. Besides, I'm not the only one who says so, many people think so and, in fact, it's already an option in the catalogue of Hommo Sandals because the truth is that it's a combination that gives a lot of play and that allows you to create very versatile sandals.
