DAN HOLDSWORTH: On the subject of weird hominids

Jon,

whilst out walking yesterday, I photographed the following footprints with my own wellington boot (size 13) alongside for scale.

These are certainly human, caused by a runner a good deal shorter than I am judging by stride length, who was wearing a rather unusual new variety of running shoe called a Vibram Five-fingers Shoe.

The result is a set of prints which look very much like those a barefoot person would make, though in conditions that no barefoot runner would ever tolerate (2 degrees celcius, muddy and unpleasant).

Something like this could conceivably be offered as "evidence" for a Bigfoot-like hominid though, hence I am sending over these to show what is NOT a bigfoot print.

Dan H.
