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...

There are so many running shoes out there that have the...

It didn’t always happen though as little boys are want to get their feet in some pretty dirty and dangerous situations. But when I was around the house I was barefoot.
