feature shoe friday: vibram five fingers
then, something purely coincidental happened: the very next day at the gym, I saw a personal trainer wearing them. I had to ask: "are those things comfortable?"
his response was something like this: "they get a lot of weird looks, but they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I wear them at home, to yoga, even to run in. it's like running in bare feet. I love them."
now, of course, I really want to try on a pair, just to see how they feel. do you? they look like they'd be really comfortable once you got used to them!
prices range from roughly $85 to $100. (by the way, they're offered in men's, women's and kids', and they come in a zillion different versions and colors, all aimed at different activities such as running, hiking or yoga.)

my friend was JUST talking about these - her sister got them - she runs ALL over the place after her 2 kids and she says they are THE best too! - i dunno if i could wear them tho, remember the socks with the individual toes? i HATED them
I think I'm closer and closer to getting a pair...I'm simply fascinated. Oh, and thanks for the shout out!! I feel very honored.
