I was intrigued by the minimalist boot idea since boots tend to drag…
Vibram has snuck one on us here in the U.S. — well in advance of a Fall 2012 release, it seems that at least one retailer (REI) has gnabbed the laceless Spyridon FiveFingers. Yeah, they’re out right now (for $110).
You’ll recall that these pup…
We got a glimpse of what must have been a Vibram FiveFingers SeeYa LS (laced!) prototype a bit over a month ago. With nothing to go on but speculation, I guessed that these laced SeeYas were going to show up sometime in the Spring of 2013.

Today’s xkcd comic pays homage to the mystical powers of toe shoes and to the general initial aversion folks have to wearing them for the first time (despite their supposed awesome goodness). Immmortality Vibram FiveFingers? Sounds a lot like “God’s S…
The Olympic classics will be using the UK, Italy, Australia and Denmark flags on them. Only available in Europe and the US Vibram store on Newbury for in store purchase only. No phone orders.
New Balance’s first minimalist shoe offerings hit the market back in the Spring of 2011. Perhaps their most popular “Minimus” style then, and perhaps even still, was the MT10 or the Minimus Trail (which we’ve reviewed in depth here and with video here)…
