Vibram Five Fingers。? That is what!

They have taken some getting used to, but after walking around in them for the last few weeks,5 fingered shoes, I finally decided to take the plunge and take them for a run on the treadmill today。? Overall, I give them high marks。? Walking around on the street is really quite comfortable and my feet generally aren’t as tired at the end of the day as compared to normal shoes。? Running also felt good。? It was a little bit stressful on my calves and achilles heel, but I’m sure that, with more use, those pains will go away。? It also is quite interesting getting a wide variety of responses from Chinese people when they see the shoes。? No one seems like they are quite ready to buy their own pair; I’ve had to explain to a lot of people that,vibram five fingers shop, yes, they are shoes, not socks。? One person last week nearly jumped out of their own socks upon realizing what I was wearing (他被我雷倒了）!? Most people just smile knowingly as their preconceptions about silly foreigners come true in seeing me wearing gorilla paws。

My Vibrams： Kangaroo Leather

With the Shanghai Half-Marathon now only a little over a month away, I’ll probably only use these on my short-runs just in case, but I’m absolutely happy with the buy。? The style I bought are made with Kangaroo Leather, for extra bounce ? If you’re interested, check them out at Vibram Five Fingers。? Just make sure you pay attention to the size charts as it is a little different than your ordinary shoe size。

A few weeks ago after over a month of waiting for them to cross the ocean from a legal retailer (as opposed to the fakes on the streets of Shanghai) my Vibram Five Fingers arrived。? A friend of mine back in the states, Stephen, recommended them to me back in August and I thought, why not?? ‘Barefoot’ running is starting to catch on, with lots of advocates and, while I’m not willing to commit to completely shoe free running where dogs (and kids,vibram fivefinger reviews, too!) often leave their mess behind on the street, this seemed like the next best option。
