Merch to Purch I want the 'Barefoot Alternative'
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 11:32 AM
During the cooler months, I can often be found running around the office without shoes on. My editor sometimes fusses at me, too: "Kim! Oh god, where are your shoes? You know you can get diseases from walking around here barefoot!"
Well, it seems there's a product out there made just for me: Vibram Five Fingers: The Barefoot Alternative.
As a proponent for toe socks (I've got 'em in every color), these "toe shoes" are right up my alley.
From their Web site:
FiveFingers footwear connects you to the earth and your surroundings in a way that is simply not possible in conventional shoes. It puts you in touch with the earth beneath your feet and liberates you to move in a more natural, healthy way. FiveFingers stimulate the muscles in your feet and lower legs to build strength and improve range of motion. Our customers report an increased sense of balance, greater agility, and visibly improved posture.
Have you tried out the Vibram Five Fingers Shoes yet? What do you think? (Here's a review from Crunch Gear if you haven't.)
