My FiveFingers

Many people attribute the massive new interest in minimalist running to Chris McDougall, author of the best-selling book ‘Born to Run’.  If you haven’t read it, we highly recommend it (and you can read our review of ‘Born to Run’ here).  Our Video of the week is of Chris sharing some of the stories and […]

Traditional Men’s black dress shoes are a nightmare.  A raised heel, unnecessary arch support, and toe-crunching tapered tip make for the perfect antithesis to minimalist shoes like Vibram FiveFingers and Merrell Barefoot shoes. Nothing about these shoes aligns with the barefoot/minimalist shoes movement. A new crowd-sourced project, the Primal Professional, is trying to change all of […]

Vibram FiveFingers have found their way into the lives of many different people and an equally large and diverse set of activities.  From old standbys such as running and hiking to more unexpected uses such as CrossFit, military operations, crazy roof jumps, tree obstacle courses, a catalyst for weight loss, and the list goes on and on.

Well this is pretty cool.  This guy climbs several flights of stairs to the top of a hotel and then jumps off.  The multiple camera angles at the end really show how impressive a feat this is… and of course he’s rockin’ FiveFingers! And Some Screenshots of the Jump: Hat tip to Twitter User @schlingel for […]

Jack Osbourne (who?) starred in MTV’s hit show The Osbournes, is the son of Ozzy Osbourne, and apparently he also likes FiveFingers.  We’re adding him to the list of celebrities who wear FiveFingers, although we’re apparently using the word ‘celebrity’ in the loosest way possible  :-) We weren’t sure if we really wanted to claim […]
