Anyone else looking forward to a break from rain, ice, and snow? For more than a week, I had to wear my traditional shoes because of all the rain and melting ice. I refuse to be Old Slushy Coldfoot, so it was time for the Diesels. Ugh.
Nothing says foot pain like the wrong footwear. Even the relatively flat-soled Diesels could not compare for day-in and day-out comfort. I remember the first day I wore my Fivefingers again. My feet literally sighed with relief. It was practically audible.
So I’m back to my Fivefingers, only, I feel less excited about them now. While my feet suffered, I savored the brief joy of wearing outfits that actually match. And look good. What’s that all about? Forgot that was possible.
Yes, any non-outdoor gear will look somewhat bizarre with Fivefingers. They’re just not slacks or jeans matching material. I can’t pull it off without looking like I’m just wearing toe socks. Less than professional. Some people don’t take me seriously. Who knew footwear was so important to professionalism?

I’m a little sad, because I think I lost a major portion of my FiveFingers community when I relocated back to DanielthePoet.com. Of course, I don’t write about my shoes as often either, which is partly because each day is less of a discovery than it once was. FiveFingers have become normal in my life, and any time I wear flipflops or flat-soled Diesels they just feel WRONG.
I digress. Back to my point. What do YOU the FiveFingers afficionado or researcher want to read? Is a daily journal of my feet worth returning to? They could be short and sweet.
Maybe you want to know how people respond to them. Or when it’s appropriate to wear them. Or when it’s not (if such a scenario does indeed exist).
You already have killer blogs like BirthdayShoes.com for your #1 VFF haven. What can I offer you that would bring you back again and again? I thank you for your comments in advance.

There’s too much to keep up with these days. I’m no less a fan of my Vibram FiveFingers, but as of today, I am consolidating blogs. My “daily” updates can be found at my now only personal site: DanielthePoet.com. It’s also my primary twitter profile name.
Sorry if this in any way disappoints the awesome VFF community. It just makes sense to not let my hobbies become slave drivers. I’ve owned 7-10 blogs for a long time now, and I can never update all of them often enough. So I’m narrowing down to three: one personal, one spiritual, and one fun.
Personal – DanielthePoet.com
Spiritual – RenewMyMind.com
Fun – DallasProSports.com
I will definitely be writing more about my VFFs, seeing as I just bought my second pair last week and I try to only wear FiveFingers day in and day out.
Hope I see some of you over at my other blog.
