Vibram FiveFingers - Trial

Well I got my Vibram FiveFingers out on a trial (finally). Unfortunately I only had them out at the gym on the treadmill but they were fabulous.


I have go to say that my whole running mechanics went out the window. No more heal striking. I seem to run with more awareness; more upright. There is more thought to how your foot falls, etc.


I wore them in my travels out to Oman & thoroughly enjoyed them. I cannot wait to get them out into the "real rowld" on real running surfaces.


The whole Vibram FiveFinger's concept is totally "out of the box" & a pushing beyond conventional running wear boundaries.



Until next time.



Run on;
Ken

I have two pairs of the vibram toe shoes that I wear around the house, while mowing the yard, swimming, and just general knocking about but I haven't run in them yet because of the thin soles. I love them. I have my eye on the Trek's and am going to get me a pair.

A couple of us at work have these, every once in a while we have "Toe Shoe Tuesdays"
