FiveFingers for Cold and/or Wet Weather – Introducing the Lontra

It is a question we’ve heard time and time again: ”What FiveFingers should I wear when its cold or wet outside?”. Unfortunately, to-date, we haven’t really had a solid answer.
This all changed last month when Vibram announced the FiveFinger Lontra at Outdoor Retailer. The Lontra is a new VFF model that has a micropile fleece liner, a water-resistant laminated upper, and a neoprene collar that provides a seal around the ankle.
Its the first water-resistant FiveFinger to ever go to market. So we’re finally answering that big question all of our users have asked for a long time, “How do I keep my foot warm in cold weather”.
These are coming out on August 1, 2012. Are you planning on buying a pair?

I’m really excited about this since my feet FREEZE in my 5′s even at the November Thanksgiving Day race. HOWEVER, WHY OH WHY do they ALWAYS have to make the women’s version PINK!! Seriously, I don’t like to wear pink, I like the men’s colors better!!!

You’re so right Angela! No pink for women! We want cool colors too!!
That being said, I do want to get a pair of Lontra’s.
