Vibram Five Fingers

I now own two pairs of Vibram Five Fingers, Vibram Classics and Kso Trek, but by looking at this video the next pair for me will probably be the Bikila. I am not a runner at all but thinking of starting a major workout rejiment and running will be a big factor, maybe on a treadmill at first then the road. Updates soon!!

Update: Vibram Five Fingers!!!

Well, since buying my first vibram fivefingers I had a small amount of buyers remorse over the purchase. Most of my male friends thought the shoes looked a little femine and served no purpose if they made me look affeminate. Well after several Pilates sessions, a 5k walk for cancer awareness and countless walks about town, I would say they are the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. My fivefingers Sprint are as close to being barefoot without any of the discussing thoughts of what am I stepping on. For example, I currently work retail which requires me to stand pretty much all day on hard concrete floors. So, over the years I have bought expensive running shoes and insoles that said they work to relieve some of the stress to my feet, well they don't work. Ultimately, after years of foot pain after a long day at work, I started to walk around in my fivefingers. Finally, my feet did not hurt after work, I think mainly because of wearing my fivefingers almost everyday that my foot pain is no longer present.

Now, I am hooked on fivefingers, I am planning to purchase a black pair of KSO's for kayaking and other water sports. Plus, I am planning to go to San Francisco in February 2010 and I am buying a pair of KSO Treks to go hiking and urban hiking. I can't say how much these shoes really change my perception of walking barefoot and the benefits.Pictured below are my next pair of five fingers I plan to purchase for San Francisco.

Vibram Five Fingers: shoes? or lifestyle?

Recently after I purchase a pair of Vibram Five Finger sprint shoes. Some people might call my decision to buy these shoes is a little out of this world, but the shoes are great. Usually, I never endorse anything unless I am fully satisfy with the product or service. Once I get hooked, they have me for life, so this is a good thing. Anyway, I will provide a full review in a couple of days with pics and maybe a video. Stay tune!
