Vibram Five Fingers

Vibram, an outsole manufacturer, has taken a complete turn about approach by designing their shoes to mimic your foot. By making them as flexible as possible, and building them with five toes, count'em, 5! Vibram has created FIVE FINGER SHOES. For anyone who has been looking for a barefoot shoe experience, eureka!

As an owner of three pairs of Vibram Five Fingers, they are my everyday go to shoe. While during the winter season they can be a bit chilly to wear outside without socks, all other seasons of the year they are fine just by themselves. The leather Treks are my favorite. They have been able to tackle any day hike trail I`ve thrown at it. Running in the foothills is one of the most satisfying activities to do in my Treks. Take caution, and ease into running in Five Fingers in order to strengthen the feet and adjacent muscles. Once the body has adjusted, running will never have been so rewarding.

If you are curious about, or have an interest in these crazy looking shoes, stop by the shop with any questions you may have. Let us help you make an informed decision on which pair is best for you. And why buy just one? They are so much fun!
