Vibram

[Ark79]

Something I like doing is walking barefooted, as soon as i can the socks and shoes are off…. I’ve been looking at these Vibram 5 finger shoes for a while now , finally hit the button on the aqua ones in preparation for my next holiday …. I’ll post a review up in the months to come give them a fair go to see what’s what, if all is well I’ll get the ones for hiking

First of the bat … not the easiest of things to get on , kids and the wiF thought it was hilarious shits !
They don’t irritate my feet or annoy me so that’s a good start, rather snug tho I think like any shoe they will have to be broken in

Anyone else have a pair?

so the aqua ones are for the beach? If so, won't they get full of sand?

I’ve never seen them before but they look like a cross between work gloves and tabi (Japanese socks) You just need to practice gripping a paintbrush between your toes for painting skirting boards.

Interesting . I've seen the Japanese tabi before and never really thought the split toe design served much function other than being able to wear flip flops at the same time.What's the thinking or function behind the idea of individual toes ?

Whilst strolling along the beach, I found a lovely young woman buried up to her chest! She desperately asked me for help, I asked her
…..“ what’s in it for me”……….”sand” she replied.

I’ll get my coat!

Its to allow your toes to open up and not be squished in a shoe , also for the barefoot enthusiast who want protection and freedom of toes….. or a big gimmick I’ll soon find out baytree lol

Offft it will either polish a nice heed on it or sand it down to a toothpick
