This week's FF is the Vibram FiveFinger Bikila Women's Shoe. If you haven't tried these shoes yet, you are missing out! They were worth every penny of the $90.00 I paid for them. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of the Vibram FiveFinger, these shoes are essentially designed to mimic "barefootedness." (Yes, that's a new word that I just coined.)
A bit of history...This is my second pair of Vibram shoes. I first had a pair of Vibram Classics. Although these may fit some people's needs, I found that they were a bit uncomfortable for long term wear. Even though I purchased the correct size, I found that they squished my poor baby toes and left indentations in my ankle (not fun). I eventually sold them on eBay, and subsequently decided I would give these shoes another go. So, I tried the Bikila.
WOW! What a difference! This is easily the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I wear them to football games, during water sports, to run, to work...you name it! I cannot get enough. They have better tread on the bottom of the shoe and are generally more comfortable and easier to put on. I highly recommend for all types of uses including everyday wear or for yoga, Pilates, running or any other type of workout.
To learn more about these incredible shoes, I'd encourage you to visit Vibram's website or stop a random person wearing them next time you spot one. I have no doubts that they'll have you ready to add these to your Christmas/Hanukkah list in no time. :)
