This week’s VFF reviews:
- Review: Vibram FiveFingers Shoes at SparrowRose [KSO]:
Walking barefoot is like listening with naked ears. Walking in traditional shoes is like having that big, muffling, home stereo set of headphones on your head. Walking in Vibram FiveFingers is like a little bit of cotton held over your ears. It’s close to barefoot — much, much closer than traditional shoes — but, to use horseshoes vernacular, it’s not a ringer.
- Vibram Five Fingers at LifeofJustin [Sprints]:
It’s amazing how much different the ground feels when you are wearing these. You really notice the terrain more. When I’m walking on grass, it feels like I’m walking on grass. The same goes for dirt, concrete, and so on. It seems to bring you closer to nature, which is an amazing feeling.
I plan on wearing these as my every day shoes due to how comfortable they are. I’m now used to getting a few weird looks and an occasional question from a stranger so I’m no longer worried about that.
