So...Corey found his newest obsession, he spent many hours researching and studying the joys of walking, hiking, or running with this amazing shoe! This is what their website says: "Remember going barefoot as a child? It’s the way you first discovered and conquered your world—without the constraint of shoes. Or the sense of duty you acquired later on. Now you can experience that same physical and visceral sensation in Vibram FiveFingers—the only footwear to offer the exhilarating joy of going barefoot with the protection and sure-footed grip of a Vibram® sole."
Who knew, that someone could actually make money on a shoe that works just like toe socks?!? We went in the Salt Lake Running Store tonight, and he tried them on. They said that they are so popular right now, that they just barely got them in stock and that they are VERY hard to find. (I think they just wanted to sell us a shoe). But, we walked out with these blue Avatar looking shoes(rubber gloves)for Corey to run and hike in! Too funny, and the greatest part is that Corey REALLY wanted me to try them on too, but I have webbed toes. So, you guessed it, these shoe makers actually discriminate against those of us with webbed feet. So, I am just going to have to keep hiking in my flip-flops in order to get that bare-foot feeling. :)
Don't forget the sprained ankle you might get in the flip flops! Thanks for keeping me in the loop. I heard some scientist on the radio talking about running and hiking barefoot. He had studied runners and barefoot runners use the toes or ball of their feet while those with shoes start out on their heel.
ReplyDeleteYou must listen to NPR, just like Corey!
ReplyDeleteWho'd a thunk. Leave it up to Corey to want something like that. Always something new to try.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they made such a thing! How funny! I think it'd feel weird to have shoes that are like toe socks though. I'm glad Corey likes them! Thanks for hanging out with me the other day. It was great to see you! We'll have to get together again soon.
