Vibram FiveFingers: Objections and Responses

Vibram FiveFingers: Objections and Responses

Ever since purchasing my Vibram FiveFingers I have heard (and seen) many different reactions to them.  One of the most common is the glance-look away-stare.  People see them then self consciously look away only for their curiosity to win out.  Then they stare.  This is the response from most strangers.  Understandable.  Who wants to walk up to a guy they don’t know and ask about his...

Shoes and Evangelism

I think it has been pretty clear recently that I have been enjoying some new shoes.  No worries, people.  This is not another post about my Vibram FiveFingers but it is a post inspired by them.  Great things inspire.  That is just a fact.  So what did my new, great shoes inspire me about, you ask?  Interestingly enough, evangelism.
