Those Funny "Toe Shoes" (And How to Find Them)
www.howtorunbarefoot.com Ok, if you've seen them, you know what I mean those odd-looking "toe shoes" or thin shoes with all the toes separated, like you might see on rainbow socks or funny kid's slippers. There's nothing funny about these toe shoes though, when it comes to using them for barefoot running or other sports: they can give you a serious advantage. The "separated toe shoes" you have seen around on barefoot runners and other outdoor enthusiasts are made by Vibram, the company that has been well-known for years for making excellent boot and shoe soles. What you may not know is that Vibram makes their own line of shoes today called "Vibram Five Fingers" that are for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. They are also for barefoot enthusiasts - people who love going barefoot, or maybe just remember what it felt like to go barefoot as a kid. Personally I wear these shoes-with-toes or "toe shoes" because I decided to start running barefoot and wanted to try the shoes being touted as "barefoot running shoes." Starting to run barefoot was hard on my bare soles at first, and I found that I could do some mileage without shoes at all, then up my mileage for the day (without putting holes in my soles) by putting on some Vibram Five Fingers and running a few more miles. As one might expect, Vibrams fit your feet like gloves, and it does actually take a bit longer than putting on a regular pair of shoes to put them on, as you need to fit all your toes into the separate toe ...
