Living in a Fashion Holding Pattern

March 24, 2010

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

March 19, 2010

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

March 15, 2010

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

March 13, 2010

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 [...]

What to Do When Your Fivefingers Are Chick Repellent?

March 11, 2010

I just got this amazing comment from Kalin on another post, and it spurred me to address in both comment and a new post. Basically, he loves the feel of his new Vibram Fivefingers, but his friend says they’re for “douchebags” and that girls will think he’s a loser. This poses the 3rd largest problem [...]

Looking Forward to Some Dry Weather

March 6, 2010

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. [...]

Seriously Contemplating Terra Plana Aqua Shoes

February 17, 2010

After this past week, when snow magically covered the face of DFW, I’ve gotten out of the habit of wearing my Fivefingers. I’m not about to endure cold wet soggy feet all day every day, so I’ve been switching back and forth between my old TOMS and my Diesels. They’re the closest things to flat [...]

What Do YOU Want to Read About FiveFingers?

November 20, 2009

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, [...]

Consolidating My Blogs

October 6, 2009

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 [...]

Day 36: Going Sockless

September 22, 2009

I didn’t want to, but laundry schedules conflicted with work. I had to wear my black Classics without socks. It was more than a little embarrassing. Probably no other style or color faces this issue, but my black Classics with jeans look like toed ballet slippers. I’m just not okay with that. The owner of [...]
