T Rocket Hominid


The Hominid is the best all round T Rocket with a particular capability for running both on the road and on trails. It has very good grip, very good underfoot feel and is suited to a multitude of terrains. The sole height is approximately 7mm attached to a 2mm rubber footbed. The sole is constructed using a softer midsole polyurethane and a harder outer sole, also of polyurethane. As with the  Traditionalmodel the sole can be exchanged for another if desired. The Hominidincorporates the same features, as other T Rockets  including the  lace harness. The lace harness is 3-way adjustable with a double elasticated section over the mid-foot. Once your laces are correctly adjusted you never need to revisit them and the sandal is easy to fit and remove. Also in keeping with the T Rocket ethos, the Hominid is flat (zero elevation). Colour choices for the Hominid are orange or purple for the soles and orange, purple or black for the harness.










T Rocket Yeti and Simian Max

The Yeti is essential running kit for any keen minimalist as it is the first very thin running sandal that incorporates a triple compound sole. The one piece sole is 6-7mm thin yet contains an excellent outersole with a deep tread as well as a 2mm softer midsole which gives good compression and excellent feel. The floating lace system adds to the simplicity and beauty of this robust light sandal. The Yeti below incorporates the Ergo lace system which is also available as an option.





This is my used Yeti. It has the Floating lace system which is standard for the Yeti model.

The Simian Max sandal is a thin hardcore minimalist running and walking sandal. It has a 2 mm footbed attached to a 2mm rubber sole (soles are easily replaceable if required). This allows for immense feedback and lets the foot to behave in a natural fashion. The Simian Max is a ‘must have’ for the hardcore barefoot and/or minimalist enthusiast. While the sole is thin and minimal in every respect the harness utilises the same comfortable foot hugging design used on other T Rockets. The lace harness is 3-way adjustable with a double elasticated section over the mid-foot. Once your laces are correctly adjusted you never need to revisit them and the sandal is easy to fit and remove. Colour choices for the Simian Max sole are black or black while the harness can accommodate a little orange or purple on the toe straps and side anchors if desired.
