My FiveFingers

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 […]

It took my Classics the better part of a day to dry after washing, so I made Sunday a TOMS day. My wife bought me my first pair of TOMS shoes in early August for my birthday. I wore them exclusively for a couple weeks before my feet started to ache a little bit. TOMS […]

It’s Friday and I’m exhausted. I madethe mistake of staying up late to watch Gamer online (yes, I know it’s still in theaters). After 30 minutes of gruesome bloodshed, Megavideo shut me down, offering up the usual time limit exceeded excuse. Point being, I woke up at 6:30 this morning to find that I feel […]

Saturday began the predicted week of rain storms. Before I put on my Classics, I knew this would be a new experience. I purposefully avoided my Injinji socks in case my feet got seriously wet. They did. I’m not sure how exactly, but the moment I stepped in a tiny puddle of water, my feet […]

I ran for the third time in my VFF Classics today. Luckily, the high school track was open to the public after 5pm. Result: Uninspiring. The heat from the track was seeping into my shoes. Maybe it was the unwashed Injinji socks, but SOMETHING created a lot of heat and friction between my skin and […]

Rather than savor our day off, I spent it being irritated. It happens on occasion. Should’ve gone for a run at the high school track, but opted out in favor of a nap and ended up regretting the lack of exercise. Nothing new to report, other than the fact that my foot already feels much […]

Today was a day of rest for me. I woke up early and took my baby girl to Starbucks. She wanted to sleep in, but we try to keep her on a schedule. We hung out at the local Starbucks for a couple hours. My parents showed up and played with her for a bit. […]

I went to Richland High School yesterday morning to try out my VFF Classics on the track. Since Run #1 went well on the treadmill, I decided it was time to test alternative surfaces, i.e. the track and the football field. I took my video camera with me to record this epic event. Unfortunately, HD […]

Today is Saturday. My first run was on Monday. Most of my aches and pains are gone. The balls of my feet are still tender. They’re not calloused at all, and will probably need to be before running becomes terribly comfortable. One thing is for sure: I will DEFINITELY be wearing my injinji Performance Micro […]

That’s a compliment. Check out the video.
