You might have noticed in my "Interesting Stuff" links on the left that I dog-eared a while ago. Well, I finally procured a pair of Vibram Five Fingers shoes after my Nike Free 5.0 finally bit the dust. I've always wanted a shoe that was lightweight and doesn't impede foot performance or breathing. I shorted the recommended 1 week break-in period by a few days since I wore them around the office - yes, I did manage to garner a few raised eyebrows since the pair I got were red/black. I've been using them in a controlled environment (the treadmill) for the last few days, and finally got them out on the Silver Comet Trail this weekend. It's a very interesting feeling. I can certainly tell where the impact of my gait is, since my feet just the slightest bit tender on the inside balls and inner heels of my feet. But, I'm going to strap them on again and hit the 'mill this morning, while watching the next episode of Heroes :)
