Funky Five Fingers

Being a girl of course I love shoes, but my favorite shoes are my green Vibram Five Fingers. It is always enjoyable when people ask me questions about them, but some questions I do not always have an answer too. Well with a little research I can now better explain these mysterious shoes to you.

The shoes were made to resemble a human foot. They are made of lightweight material, and have a thin flexible sole. I like the thin soles, they are light enough that I enjoy running in them and do not feel like I am weighed down by my shoes. The only factor about the thin soles I do not particularly like is that I can feel the heat of the asphalt on a hot summer day. The shoes were designed by Robert Fliri to find a better way to move around in nature better, and to provide better grip on outdoor terrain. The shoes come in various materials, ranging from a lighter material to a heavier material. I have the lightweight material, that easily dries when it gets wet, because I am always at the pool. If you enjoy hiking, you would prefer the heavier material, because it provides more protection on mountain trails. Although if you are looking at getting some of these shoes, you better be ready to wear them a lot as they are a little spendy. I enjoy my shoes and I am glad I have them, even if they do look a little odd.
