My FiveFingers

AKA How to Void your Vibram Warranty in 3 Easy Steps I want a pair of these. Yes, I know they’re women’s shoes. No I don’t care. They look good and I bet they’re comfy. Then I asked myself, “Do I really need another pair of FiveFIngers?” If you read my last post, you’d know […]

Wearing Five Fingers is a weird, unique and fun experience. No matter where I go, what I’m doing or who I’m with, I can usually count on someone asking about the shoes I have on. Most of the questions hover around how long the break-in period is and if they’re actually comfortable (few months and […]

I’ve never been much of a sock fan. They make my toes mush together, do a poor job of ever really drying and make laundry way more complicated. When I got my first pair of FiveFingers, the last thing on my mind was what kind of socks to wear. No sock for you! And wear […]

This is part 3 in a series on transitioning to barefoot running by Christine Skelly.  You can read Part 1 here, Part 2 here, and Part 2.5 here. The Finale? Or the beginning of a new chapter? Both of course. Barefoot running is not for the faint of heart as I stated in my previous post, and […]

Most shoes require a bit of a breaking in period. Whether it’s the shoe adjusting to your or your foot adhering to the shoe (for shame!), this is not a pleasant process. I remember numb feet and bruising whenever I was breaking in my old Asics, and thankfully new Five Fingers don’t have the same […]

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 […]
