When we posted the new Stomp Lox Trail Worm shoes Kickstarter last month, there was some confusion about the term, ‘barefoot shoe.’ Well, Ronnie is here to break it all down for ya!

Ronnie Romance‘s shoes of choice, Stomplox, just announced an all-new model on Kickstarter called the Trail Worm. Unlike traditional sneakers, barefoot shoes have very thin soles that are so flexible they can be rolled up by hand and a zero-heel-drop design that lets you experience the trails as if you were barefoot.

Sound wild? Check out more at the Trail Worm Kickstarter.

Our buddy Kyle von Hoetzendorff just shared with us a video of Ronnie “Smooth Operator” Romance riding the Glade Trail on Mount Hood aboard his EVOO. We thought you’d enjoy.

Ronnie’s Alumalith debuted here in our 2022 Philly Bike Expo coverage and since that virgin voyage, he’s put countless miles on it from the Northeast to the Southwest. Long overdue for an overhaul, his refresh looks very similar to Josh’s build with a Sklar-built Bullmoose. Check it out for some ASMR vibes this afternoon and be sure to visit Ronsbikes.com.

“To the desert go prophets and hermits; through deserts go pilgrims and exiles. Here the leaders of the great religions have sought the therapeutic and spiritual values of retreat, not to escape but to find reality.”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

As Ronnie Romance grapples with the closing of Nutmeg Needleworks, he sought the spiritual values of retreat as Jon Krakauer wrote in “Into the Wild.” Follow along as he takes us BTS on Josh and John’s romp in the Hawes Trail System on the Cotic shoot…
