My FiveFingers

It’s been four days since my first run in these VFF Classics. My muscles are mostly recovered by now. Despite the recovery, I’m more than a little annoyed. My fave pair of jeans are long and baggy. The hems end up under my feet when I walk. I never noticed or cared when I wore […]

I’ve been wearing my black Five Fingers Classics for 18 days now (think I wore regular flat-soled shoes once), and my coworkers finally noticed. In their defense, my baggy jeans touch the floor, so there’s only a little black visible most of the time. People just assume that you’re wearing regular shoes unless something draws […]

word of the day: “fi-curious” – a person interested in Vibram Five Fingers, but aren’t sure they’re ready to swing that way. Most people will be curious about the foot-shaped shoes they see every now and then, but the concept of walking without cushioned soles will turn most people off. I know this because we’re […]

This is impressive. I’m inspired to make my own video. Stay tuned. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX-sVhFLQA4]

Yes, the dreaded day is upon us. The aftermath from yesterday’s run. I am such a wuss. But that’s okay! I’m just getting started! I woke up this morning, stood up, and OWWW! Pain! What is this strange sensation in my feet and legs? What is it? Oh, Doctor, tell me, am I going to […]

After a long day at work, I decided to give my Five Fingers another shot at the gym. I work them all day at work without socks for the first time. I’d been avoiding that, since you end up with stinky shoes that need to be washed when you don’t use the socks. But, like […]

It’s been 8 days. My feet feel a little blistery, so I’m taking a day off from my VFF Classics. I’m putting on my Diesel Leroys again. They’re flat soled and not very cushioned, but they feel luxurious in comparison. Of course, that means I’m not getting the workout or proper posture either. I’m wondering […]

Well, it’s been a solid week now and no one at work is noticing my foot-shaped shoes. What is wrong with these people? Seriously? I expected them to stand out on Day 2, but then again, they are solid black. My next pair will be more noticeable (though not the camo-blue ones). I think I […]

I probably forgot to mention that I bought a pair of black toed socks when I bought my VFF Classics. They’re Injinji brand. The Luke’s Locker rep told me that some people prefer to wear socks because they keep the shoes from smelling bad as fast. Eventually, the shoes will have to be washed. You […]

Surprise, surprise! No one at work is noticing my feet. Of course, I’m wearing the black Classics, which blend in with baggy jeans better than any of the other color styles. I just kept waiting for someone to stare at my feet and freak out. Mostly I was expecting someone to accuse me of wearing […]
