Alternative Footwear


Trainer Glenn told me about a product that sounded kinda crazy, but it made me think and I haven't been able to get it out of my head, so I thought I'd share it here. It's called Vibram FiveFingers Footwear (pictured) and it's predicated on the notion that feet are weakened by not being bare. By wearing their thin shoe, all of your foot's articulations and muscles are able to work freely, without the constraints of a shoe. Wild concept. I don't think I want a pair because I recall wearing socks with individual toes and they hurt! My toes don't like being spread out, evenly slightly. But maybe it's something to which a person would grow accustomed? If it sounds appealing, this is the product's website - www.vibramfivefingers.com.
