As Vibram FiveFingers continues to grow in popularity, read here what everyday people have to say about their exciting experiences with Vibram FiveFingers.

Gear ed Ryan Scott takes his Vibram Five Fingers for a trail run.

This morning began with a blitz up the mountain. I chose Lions Head again, which is a great place to try out a shoe in varying conditions. Today, in lieu of the fact that I will be doing some testing on the Vibram 5 Finger KSO Trek later down the line, I decided to see what the Vibram FiveFinger KSO (Keep Stuff Out) was like on this route.  ( read article )

Ultrarunner in training

Ever since I got into running, I had heard of the benefits of barefoot training. Personally I thought it was just some way to subject yourself to torture. Who in their right mind would willingly run around barefoot!!! I was, however, intrigued. After doing some reasearch online, and discovering http://barefootted.com/ , I decided that I could try it. ( read article )

Gear Review: Vibram Five Fingers

I’m pleased to report that the hip/IT-Band injury is now (almost) history. For now. Got a few good trails in last week but am ready to step it up and hopefully make a good showing at the Running Fit Trail 1/2 this Sunday. Will be practicing the Poto this week after work and I’m exceptionally excited to do a few runs in my new Vibram Five Fingers. ( read article )

Going "Barefoot" In Vibram Five Fingers

There's no question that good shoes are a vital part of everyday comfort. But some research suggests that shoes may be doing us more harm than harm and it is far better to go barefoot. ( read article )

Google Talk on "Born to Run" and Barefoot Running

"Barefoot Ted talked the way Charlie Parker played the sax: he’d pick up on any cue and cut loose with a truly astonishing torrent of improvisation, seeming to breathe in through his nose while maintaining an endless flow of sound out of his mouth." ( read article )

Life By Water: VIbram Five Fingers Review

One of the most important pieces of equipment in any kayaker’s kit bag is a good pair of reliable water shoes as walking over rocks or slippery ground is inevitable. More importantly if anything happens to turn critical, one needs to be able to get out of a kayak quickly and move rapidlyto the person in trouble without any fear of slipping or being hindered by poor shoes. ( read article )

The Evils of Strength Sucking Modern Shoes

I was going to split this one up into a a whole series as I did more and more research; but I will leave it as one now for an easy to find and skim reference post. I like to wear my Vibram Five Fingers shoes out in public. Jodie actually calls them monkey feet. While the Nike frees look more like a normal shoe, the Vibram five fingers definitely get a lot of stares. Believe it or not, I actually do all my training in them; despite claims that I will destroy myself without some precious padding under my feet. I call BS to that. Are they the next revolution in athletic performance? In short, Yes! Not so much a revolution, but more a movement (ahhaha, pun intended) back to how our foot SHOULD function. ( read article )

The Barefoot Alternative

“OK, dude, what’s up with the goofy shoes?” someone asked. It was the second day of Pavel’s RKC kettlebell course, and I’d seen more than a few people wearing what appeared to be gecko feet. The sheer goofiness compelled me to ask Rudy Tapalla, a CrossFit instructor from Chicago, why on earth he would put these ridiculous gloves on his toes. He seemed to have good mojo - he was shorter than me but had a vertical jump to match Michael Jordan - so I figured he might have good reasons. He did, though I didn’t realize it at the time. I remained a skeptic but tested them a month later. Now, I have three pairs and find it hard to wear other shoes. Vibram Five Fingers shoes (“VFFs” to the die-hard fans) are worth a closer look. After two weeks of wearing them, the lower-back pain I’d had for more than 10 years disappeared and hasn’t returned since I started experimentation about 8 weeks ago. Sound ridiculously implausible? It doesn’t once we look at how feet and posture adapt. ( read article )
