So I caved in and FINALLY got em –
This shoe is truly some looking funky footwear!
The VIbram Five Finger shoe allows your feet to be “free” from constricting shoes and sneakers. The principle is that the more advanced that sneakers have become (i.e. Nike Shox), the higher the injury rate has been on knees and ankles. This is primarily due to the fact that sneakers with a ton of support and coushining do not allow your feet to move as they were intended to. Spending more time barefoot will allow you to strengthen the muscles of your foot and stop some aches and pains that are caused by wearing shoes that constrict your feet.
I mean Im not going to wear these to dinner or something, I intend to use these shoes for my workouts, hiking, and I will definitely try my hand on some barefoot running!
If you go to the beach, then you know that when your feet hit the sand that it just “feels” good. There is something about being barefoot that makes you feel more connected to your environment. These shoes allow that experience while protecting the soles of your feet from any rocks or particles that might be on the ground.
I look forward to seeing what happens with these in the near future, I will keep you posted!
