Vibram FiveFingers

You won't believe how many people have asked me about these Italian shoes. The last person who made me write down the name of these shoes was Joey Fatone, who recommended I wrote about it on my blog so the next time I get asked...I will just direct them here. Good idea Joey!

The Five Finger shoes by Vibram are the latest thing for any type of sport you wish you could do barefoot. The first time I saw these shoes was at a Kettlebell workshop with Pavel. Some guy was wearing these so I asked him about them. He told me he goes on long distance runs with them and that he was very happy with the fit and performance. So as soon as I got home I started doing my research on them and finally bought them.

My feedback on them:

These are shoes that will make your toes strong, and since you use your toes for balance, you'll see improvement in your balance by using them.

The bottom of your feet gets stronger and your calf muscles get a workout just by walking around on these. You'll know what I mean the next day.

It helps you with your running posture. As I will write on a future blog. When you run, you're suppose to use the middle of your feet first and then pull back and up firing your hamstrings. It is Not heel toe like a lot of people think, specially if you are sprinting. Wanna try running heel toe on these shoes..? go ahead..These shoes will soon put you on the right position ;-) I make my running athletes wear these if I need to fix their posture.

If you want to buy them, I wouldn't recommend ordering them online, try them at the store. I have a few of these and every now and then I find one fitting slightly different than the previous pair...could be just me.

When you first wear them, do it only for 2 hours and slowing progress. You need to get use to them but soon after, they will feel very comfortable.

I would not run with these on a treadmill until you have test them well on a track or outdoors.

At the beginning, it was a bit uncomfortable but soon after I started to get use to them. Now I wear them anywhere, even on the boat when I go scuba diving, or while doing windsurf or kitesurfing, while going hiking,or just training people. They have great grip.

CONS:
it takes a little time getting use to them.
This is the first shoe you'll have to wash often.

The ones I'm wearing on the cover of LaloFitness are the Sprint.
Let me know how they work for you!

Ps. I will recommend you do your research, people will ask about them...many times.
