Get ready to wiggle your toes and feel the ground beneath you: barefoot shoes are back!

Nearly 15 years after the wave of barefoot running shoes peaked and crashed, barefoot shoes are starting to comeback in new iterations.

Friend of the pod Erica Zazo, recently covered the category and reviewed multiple styles of barefoot shoes for CNN and she's back on the show today to tell us about her favorites.

And since going barefoot is the perfect way to hang out in Hawaii, Gear & Beer Cicerone Justin Housman made today's pairing: a multipack of brews from Kona Brewing. That's why he gets paid the big bucks folks.
