My FiveFingers

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
