there's really no telling if all my toes are in the right spots. or even if i have all my toes.

i've wanted these for a while. vibram fivefingers. i wonder why they're called fingers. because they're obviously for the toes. idk. i can't stop looking at my awesome feet to go browsing for an explanation.

my fivefingers sprints are made for pretty much everything. running. climbing. yoga. etc.

and as you can see by my pictures, they're also made for water sports. yes. i consider standing very still on the beach a water sport. look at that huge wave crash into my foot! (insert thunderous sound effect complete with possible spit.) it's a complete marvel that i'm still standing up. must be the the "enhance(d) grip" from the "razor siped" rubber sole. is that how athletes talk?

anypedi, lisa over at two bears farm blogged about these last week. and whilst i was reading her fantastic post, my hubby walked past. and he was all. what are those? and i was all. only the best thing since immodium lactose free ice cream. and then he was all. well let's get you some!

so now i'm all like. is anyone going to blog about their new lexus, mercedes, bmw, etc anytime soon?

Ew.

MiMi said...

I must google them. Those are possible the weirdest things I've ever seen.

lostinaseaofblogs said...

Those are cool but I could never wear those cuz I have webbed toes. Seriously. ;)

varunner said...

Be careful doing those crazy water sports. I hope you're wearing a helmet at least.
Also, your husband sounds like a keeper.

These look so comfortable. To enter the giveaway just leave a comment on the Swanson's Challenge post.

I saw someone at WORK wearing these....they look very cool. BUT, like the toe-socks of the 80s, I'm a bit wary...

the shoafs said...

i've seen those before....and i have to admit, they scare me. of course, it took me until last year to brave up and put on a pair of toe socks. i'm an apparel wuss.

Rebecca said...

A friend has a pair.. he uses for running. He absolutely loves them. He would like to wear them constantly. He says they are great for running.

Tiffany said...

Oh my gosh I've never seen these before. They are quite interesting!

angie128 said...

Ummmm, I really don't know what to say here....

Lisa said...

I am a big shoe person, but I am not sure about those:)

My Life Under the Bus said...

Hi! Visiting from SITS - nice to meet you...I think; just kidding (sort of) those toe things are just...different!
Best,
Colleen

Shauna said...

these terrify me. i've blogged about them before. they give me the shivers. enjoy them. alone.

Brandy said...

I've seen those before and am really not sure about them. I don't think I could wear them in public.

Katie Gates said...

I think I said it before, but I love your distinct voice! The labels are fun, too. I once had a pair of toesocks. (I might still have them, in fact.) For a weird costume, you can wear them as gloves.

Leslie said...

Haha! I blogged about an ear of corn, but you can't really drive that. Sorry.

Been wanting to try out the Five Fingers for a while, but the name - vibram - I dunno. Y'know?

I did get a pair of Mions recently, and they're just weird. Not recommended, really. Don't get them. (Just in case blog comments count as reasons to buy something.)

Sara's Sweet Surprise said...

I think these would be ideal for my hubs who's a runner and likes to run on the beach...while I like to stay behind to relax on the outer rondack furniture.

Sweet wishes,
Sara

Megan said...

Those are.....strange. Even stranger is that I totally want a pair.

Kimi Jo said...

Is it really that easy? Forget the BMW, I'm gonna blog about a maid and a cook. Oh yeah, and maybe a hot guy to rub my feet anytime i want. Wait, did i just say that out loud?

LBDDiaries said...

Don't know about the shoes but want the ocean experience NOW. I can post about Alpha Hubby's Hummer 'cause trust me, you'd LOVE driving it. You are not only Queen of the World, and can run over anyone who gets in your way, but it is THE most comfortable ride evah!

sillie smile said...

i definintely want to try those on, just to see what it feels like. but i don't know about owning a pair. because would i wear them in public?! (no)

what if you have long toes?

Erin said...

Those shoes scare me a little. My neighbor has some and that was the first time I'd ever seen them. I have big/long toes. Not even sure they'd fit me, lol!
