My Fivefingers - Part III

I haven't written about these for a bit, but it's not because I haven't been wearing them. On the contrary, I have practically given up wearing shoes altogether.

I got no pics for this post because they look pretty much the same as what you've seen before.

But let me tell you a little more about these "shoes"... I have been running in them, I wear them around at work, and I even went on an hour long walk in them. These things are, without any shred of doubt in my mind, the most comfortable footwear that I've ever worn in my entire life! Mainly this is because they are almost like not wearing shoes at all. It's as close as you can come to just walking barefoot, without walking barefoot.

Running is no sweat. I actually find it more enjoyable to run in these than in running shoes. I've had no knee problems or back problems or shin splints or any problems at all! It has taken some adjustment to learn to walk in these, but once you get used to how it works, I think you probably wouldn't want to wear shoes after this.

It is definitely true that you should spend a bit of time getting adjusted to how these work. I wouldn't recommend that you try and run a marathon in them, right after you buy 'em. You should definitely start with the suggestion to wear them initially for 2 hours, and work your way up from there. You will be sore and probably hurt yourself if you don't learn to adjust.

But overall, my experience with them has been pretty much 100% positive. I really recommend that you consider getting a pair for yourself. And no, I am not working for Vibram. No. I do not get a commission. I just think that they are some of the best shoes I've ever worn, and I want other people to try them as well....

More on these later...

(I originally typed this up late at night... I guess I was pretty tired or something so I fixed all the fucked up grammar... Well, not that the grammar is perfect, but there were some pretty obviously bad things going on with this post...)
