Vibram FiveFingers Barefoot Walking Shoes

Thursday July 2, 2009
Vibram FiveFingers Barefoot ShoesWant to walk barefoot but you're a tenderfoot? Vibram FiveFingers shoes let you have that barefoot experience while protecting your tootsies from rocks and beer bottle caps and other hazards. These are strange looking shoes, but they also look fun. David Van Veen wrote about how these odd-looking shoes have changed his life - given him a whole new reason to go walking. Like any minimalist shoe, they are purported to help you develop balance and foot strength, while not providing any arch support, motion control or stability. I like minimalist shoes for wearing around my casual office and when I'm not fitness walking.
