A New Chapter Has Begun

A New Chapter Has Begun

by Daniel Dessinger on Sep 04, 2010 1

As you may have surmised from the title, I have an announcement. After three months of painful walking and not being able to wear my Fivefingers, I’ve made the only logical decision I could in good conscience make – to place MyFivefingers in the hands of someone more capable to engage the brand and the […]

The End is Near!

The End is Near!

by Daniel Dessinger on Aug 12, 2010 13

As I mentioned on Twitter just a little while ago, the end is near for me and VFFs. I let my heel hurt for two months before doing anything about it. I wanted to wait and see if it was just a bruise that would heal. Dumb. Since then, I’ve been going to a chiropractor […]

I’m a Fivefingers Traitor, But With Good Reason

I’m a Fivefingers Traitor, But With Good Reason

by Daniel Dessinger on Jul 22, 2010 6

It’s been awhile since I blogged on this site. I have a confession: I don’t wear my Fivefingers anymore. Except to the local pool. You may have read why I started wearing them in the first place. Well, my feet have overall NOT improved. My arches (who knew there were three on each foot?!?) are […]

What Do YOU Do In Your Fivefingers?

Since this site is about you, I want to hear from you. What do YOU do in your Fivefingers? Tell me what style(s) you wear and what you do in them. Running, walking, karate, yoga, rock climbing, swimming, surfing, parkour, wrestling, cow tipping, whatever.

Living in a Fashion Holding Pattern

Living in a Fashion Holding Pattern

by Daniel Dessinger on Mar 24, 2010 7

If you have a pair of the new KSO Treks, this may not apply to you. I hope to get a pair of those someday. I’ve been wearing the Classics and Sprints since August 2009. And for now, I’m “like completely over” the design of standard Vibram Fivefingers. They’re fine for sports. But I wear […]

Training for a Vibram Marathon

Training for a Vibram Marathon

by Daniel Dessinger on Mar 19, 2010 3

My name is T and I’m a marathoner. So to be fair, I’ve only run one marathon. But as one of my best friends says, once a marathoner, always a marathoner. Last year, I ran 26.2 miles in stability running shoes. I wore a knee sleeve, an anti-inflammatory patch on my Achilles, and by the […]

Now Accepting Guest Bloggers

by Daniel Dessinger on Mar 15, 2010 0

I think it’s fairly obvious that the most well-intentioned version of “MyFivefingers.com” is a blog where you the Fivefinger Nation can share your thoughts, experiences, questions, and ideas with the world. Without running around the world and joining every athletic competition known to man, one person can’t really do VFFs justice. So I’m opening the […]

Where to Get Fivefingers Shoes in Dallas

Where to Get Fivefingers Shoes in Dallas

by Daniel Dessinger on Mar 13, 2010 1

Just because at least one of you has come to this site searching this question, I got my shoes at Luke’s Locker in Plano. There’s another Luke’s Locker in Colleyville, and probably one in Dallas. I’ve heard that REI and Sun & Ski Sports also carries some models, but I haven’t confirmed. If you locate […]

Looking Forward to Some Dry Weather

Looking Forward to Some Dry Weather

by Daniel Dessinger on Mar 06, 2010 3

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. […]
