Five Fingers

Spring arrived today in Ann Arbor. And what does warm weather mean? Time to kick off your shoes and enjoy the grass between your toes. Growing up I enjoyed going shoeless all summer long. But cities are not good for going barefoot and to be honest my feet can't talk some of those rocks anymore. But I am in luck becuase a friend of our recommended these five fingers shoes to us. It is the new way to go "barefoot." So Arthur and I went to the store today and got us each a pair. Yes we know they aren't the most fashionable shoes out there but we were never fashionable to start with. A women in the store today told me that I looked like a frog!

Despite this we gave them a test run today and man are they great. It is like going barefoot but with no pain from rocks under your feet. The best thing is that you can do anything in them, walk, run, swim, kayak, you name it. And a side benefit is that they are the best conversation starter, you don't need a cute puppy or baby anymore you just need these five finger shoes. We wore them into the grocery this afternoon and we had three people around use asking all about the shoes. We will keep everyone updated on the shoes becuase they take a while to break in and for your muscles to get strong enough to use them for running.

Check out our new kicks!
