beginner's guide to vibram five fingers

Dr. Jawa teaches in black KSO VFFs

Dr. Jawa, a professor of mechanical engineering, has been teaching students — in his black fivefinger KSOs! The above photo, in which Dr. Jawa is demonstrating what I like to call the "see my fivefingers stance*," was taken at his home in Diamond Bar, California before heading off to class.

No doubt his students find his footwear fascinating, perhaps worth discussing from the standpoint of bio-mechanical engineering!

* For another example, see Ryan here.

I find the idea of teaching in these shoes quite funny... I began two weeks ago to wear them in school... The reactions i received were hilarious :-D
