If you feel like creating some controversy, walk up to anyone who is into running and say something like “running barefoot is the only way to run.”
And then duck.
Fivefingers are our new great love. Not beautiful – sure but really, really comfy.
Here’s what their website has to say about them.
Wearing Vibram FiveFingers is more than a choice of footwear. It demonstrates trust in our body’s natural ability to handle physical demands without heel wedges, gels, air, pronation control, ankle support or rockers.
We are designed to walk, run and play.. barefoot. There is no secret that allows the Masai to move with such effortless grace, just a lifetime of barefoot movement. With this understanding of how we are made, we can liberate ourselves from the ideology that has most of us wearing shoes before we can stand.
FiveFingers are the first performance footwear that don’t try to alter your foot’s natural movement, but allow all the benefits of going barefoot with a gecko-like grip and protection from the elements.
So for the month of September we are making these fabulous shoes our “Shoe of the Month.”
What does being a shoe of the month mean?
