This week’s latest Vibram Five Fingers reviews:
- Vibram FiveFingers Sprint First Impressions by Craig Sheppard [Sprint]:
So what does it feel like to frolic in the park, shod with Five Fingers?
Really, really liberating. You feel like you have all-terrain barefeet. The lack of padding means you feel every stick, stone, and crack on the ground, which does cause you to watch where you’re going. But knowing your feet are protected means you feel like you can go anywhere. There is an amazing amount of grip in the soles as well. I find them strangely energizing. I don’t have much patience for running, I should admit. It seems laborious, monotonous, and uncomfortable. Yet, doing a mile here or there in the FiveFingers is invigorating. I’ve had to go slow and short to adjust, it’s sort of re-learning to run all over again. There’s a fresh novelty factor involved I’m sure, but I have a feeling it may go deeper than that.
