"What are those crazy toe shoes?" Is probably the number one question you get asked if you've got a pair of Vibrams Fivefingers... If you have no clue what I'm talking about, then imagine some really tough gloves for your feet with individual little pockets for each toe.
Walking around in Vibrams Fivefingers feels a lot like walking barefoot, but with some noticeable differences:
Vibrams Fivefingers Advantage #1: No more softened and ripped feet when barefoot running!
One of the big pains involved in barefoot running is that the moisture softens the skin on your feet, making them more easily punctured, torn and generally beat up. With Vibrams Fivefingers you've got an 1/8th inch of rubber between your tootsies and the road, which is more than enough protection for a half marathon in the rain.
Vibrams Fivefingers Advantage #2: No more worrying about your feet while barefoot running in the cold / dangerous conditions...
OK, so it's not really barefoot running if you're clad in Vibrams Fivefingers, but you still get a great workout without the cumbersome and over-padded mess that is modern running shoes. Plus, when it's cold out, or when you're running across sketchy surfaces (like roads that may have broken glass, or gravel etc.) they've quite literally got you covered.
Vibrams Fivefingers Advantage #3: Let's face it, when you show up to a party wearing Vibrams Fivefingers, you've got a great conversation piece. Plus, people love them, and I guarantee you'll be asked at least once "What are those crazy toe shoes!"
If you were ever wondering why the folks at Vibrams Fivefingers decided to go with the "toe look" rather than a less ostentatious profile like the Nike Free, I can almost guarantee you it was the Viral aspect. Just wearing them around town on runs for the past year I've unintentionally sold at least a dozen pairs.
Vibrams Fivefingers are an incredibly handy piece of gear to have as a barefoot runner - you can train in harsh conditions, keep your form smooth, and be sociable all at the same time.
But even with Vibrams Fivefingers protecting your feet, there are numerous ways to injure yourself, (or just inconvenience yourself) while barefoot running. The free report on the next page gives you a ten piece "Survival kit" that no barefoot runner should be without:
