Goat leather used in minimal shoes

02/02/2012
Oregon-based footwear company Skora has unveiled its Form running shoe; a minimalist, barefoot-inspired shoe with an upper which is crafted from goat leather and lined with sheep leather, making it one of the only minimalist running shoes with a fully leather upper.

The leather is tanned using Pittards’ WRX100 treatment, which Skora says adds permanent water resistance and allows sweat to breathe outside the leather. The treatment is also meant to keep the leather soft and supple. Skora claims the Forms can be run in without socks.
