Walking Barefoot
posted by FH2o
I like going barefoot but frequently hesitates due to fear of getting seriously cut by the sharp litter carelessly thrown everywhere; even in the rivers and forests. At every stop we would comb the pebbles and sandy banks for fragments of broken bottles and aluminium cans pop-tops to pick up and cart away but we can never seem to be able to get rid of this hazard entirely. *sigh*So I was delighted to come across this product called FiveFingers™ which the manufacturer claimed is "the first and only footwear to offer the exhilarating freedom of going barefoot—with the protection and surefooted grip of a Vibram® sole."
And it looks really neat and cool! Do you like walking barefoot? I would, in these.
Here're more from their website -
And that makes it ideal for a wide range activities you'd probably rather do barefoot—boating, kayaking, canoeing, canyoneering, coastal approach, even after-sport recovery.
FiveFingers gives you a gecko-like grip on slippery surfaces. They protect your tender feet from scorching sand and sharp rocks. FiveFingers helps to promote a more natural walking motion. They gently separate each toe, while stimulating and exercising the muscles of the feet.

Post a CommentDoesn't it take the "bare" out of the "barefoot" experience?
This reminds me of yet another life's experiences where we let the "rubber" gets in the way!!
Oh... I saw it a few weeks ago in the mall but I think the brand is different, very expensive... It's cute :)
wow gecko grip. hehe
That's so cool. Do you know where I can get one? I would need it in my 6 months holiday.
gladiezz - from their website, they have stores in HK, Indonesia and Japan but I'm not sure if you can order online though you can find out from customer support via email.
