Fingers and Toes

Could you walk barefoot with your fingers? The concept of  'feet gloves' would seem different and much more look different. Dreaming of Vibram Five Fingers has provided some different ideas from the norm my foot has become accustomed to for 36 years.

If feet could provide subjective feedback...Cramped, tight, loose, heel slip, 'shoe lace untied AGAIN'

My wide inherited feet have been thrust into Buster Browns and beyond and finally the most hideous but insanely comfortable 'glove for feet' has made their presence known. If only they were considered 'Business Casual'. These wonderfully comfortable hemp FiveFingers have come the closest.


Would you believe I daydreamed of inventing these shoes to bring comfort to my soles? The next morning, my loving wife decided her Gall Bladder was going to need Emergency Removal, which sat me in a doctor's office reading 'Good stuff for you' magazines. And there, somewhere close to page 34, was the advertisement for Vibram Five Fingers!!!!! I visited their website that day, located the local reseller of Boulder Running Company, and made my first purchase the next day.

I have now convinced my son William, wife Amanda, cousin Bri, her boyfriend Trevor, and my good friend Mark that these are the craziest, but most comfortable shoes in the world.

DISCLAIMER - IF YOU DO PLAN ON RUNNING IN THEM...I WOULD RECOMMEND SLOWLY INTRODUCING THEM. YOU WILL USE LEG MUSCLES IN A TOTALLY NEW DIMENSION. (I could barely walk up stairs for 4 days...)
