The Chicest Barefoot Sandal Yet Comes Courtesy of Literary Sport

Literary Sport, the Canadian label that has quietly become the new standard-bearer of chic activewear among fashion's inner circle, is now making a case for barefoot sandals.For its latest collaboration, the brand has teamed up with Xero Shoes to reinterpret the Genesis, the footwear company's original sandal first introduced in 2009 and inspired by the huarache-style sandals worn by Mexico's Tarahumara runners.
