After running five half marathons – three in Vibram Sprints – I wanted a bit more of a full-body challenge. I wanted a race that required more than just strong legs and good lungs. I wanted something I’d be proud to finish. Props to Brian Jones, James Schreiner, Michael Wills and Michael Yarnall for running [...]

It is hard to deny that the human body is anything less than an ancient and modern marvel. The multiple systems that must cohesively work together to perform thousands of functions is baffling. This is especially true when you consider how hard cells must work to regenerate or how white blood cells act as a [...]

I’ve talked a fair bit about wearing my VFFs and most of the posts here have been from or for the adult perspective. Dan previously wrote an earlier article about kids and FiveFingers which focused primarily on the costs and readers commented and tweeted in with their opinion. Today I’d like to give my take on [...]

I’m not sure about other runners out there, but I know that when you start to do something for long enough, you start to refine your tastes regarding your craft, or develop habits that are personally unique. These quirks exist inour daily rituals: and while they seem strange to others, it is hard to go [...]

The title may seem to be a strange question for most bipeds reading these articles looking for advice and rhetoric on shoes made for homo sapiens, but what I mean relates more to the style of VFF you the reader goes for. Are you the kind that uses the shoes as a means of peacocking; [...]

This is part 2.5 in a series on transitioning to barefoot running by Christine Skelly. You can read Part 1 here, and Part 2 here. The summer I had my first pair of VFFs, I walked very strangely indeed. With the knowledge that my feet were supposed to land on their pads, I began to walk [...]

This is part 2 in a series on transitioning to barefoot running by Christine Skelly. You can read Part 1 here. It may be a year ago to the day that I found out about VFFs. I had been participating in a campus-wide “Day without Shoes” which if you do not know about, is promoted [...]

I’d like to tell you that the stories about Vibram Five Fingers slowly developing a bit of an aroma aren’t true. I’d like to tell you that this aroma is so light that it’s unnoticeable unless you’re really sniffing for it. I’d like to tell you that the footpads of the Five Fingers are guaranteed [...]

I’m not a novice runner. Before I first tried Vibrams, I’d been running off and on since high school, most 3-6 mile jogs as punishment after parties, because I was bored or simply because it was the best time to listen to audiobooks. I didn’t run very far, nor did I run super fast. And [...]

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 [...]
