Barefoot but with shoes on

Barefoot but with shoes on

Aug 12 2010, 10:23 am 0 Marco Russo

Have you ever dreamed of run or even only walk barefoot in the city, at the mountain or at the seaside without gettin dirty, wet or injure yourself? If so, there are Vibram® FiveFingers®, the first shoes-not-shoes. The odd shape gives to these shoes a glove effect, that wraps up the foot and the fingers as a second skin. The innovative design, the materials and the weight (only 120 grams) of Vibram® FiveFingers® enable who wears them to get in close contact with the earth in a sensory feedback that allows a more natural and exciting walking experience. They are made with a thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric. The sole is made from our TC1 performance rubber compound, that provides excellent grip and ground feel in both wet and dry conditions. Available in different models: classic, sprint, moc, performa, kso, kso trek, flow, speed e bikila in sizes from 40 to 47 fom men and from 34 to 42 for women. Unfortunately (as even the creators say) this shoe only has one problem: it doesn’t fit webbed feet!
