In some crazy way I am actually digging these...hmm...I wonder what they would feel like?
"The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 muscles and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised. That’s why we recommend wearing FiveFingers for exercise, play, and for fun. Stimulating the muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception. " 
Interesting is about the only word that I can come up with!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and love it. Enjoyed reading some of your posts and look forward to more.
The notes in your typography post were really cute.
Have a great day!
Those are definitely unique. I would worry that my toes would feel like they were suffocating, although if they came in pink I'd probably try them out! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support on my blog today too. It means a lot!
I have some of the Classics and KSOs (not pictured). In my experience, they feel pretty excellent -- good enough that you'll often forget you're wearing them as you lounge around your house (I note this because most shoes you want to kick off as soon as you get home). The toe separation is a little weird at first, but the sensation is different from wearing toe socks, which cling very tight onto your toes. With VFFs, your toes (unless they are really fat perhaps - mine aren't) still have a little breathing room inside each toe slot.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, they are fun and I more and more am preferring my Classics over more conventional casual footwear (flip-flops).
Aren't they CRAZY?!?
ReplyDeleteI was just checking these out while at the beach last week. My hubby and I were just mezmerized when we saw them in the window of a boutique and had to go in and check them out. I can't say I tried them on but I got an up close look and they're NUTS!
