Barefoot Running with Vibram Five Finger Shoes

A RECENT UPDATE: (apparently my husband was ahead of the trend on this one!  Still can't say he's fashion-savvy though ;)

So for my boyfriend's 28th birthday I got him the one thing he truly wanted: Vibram Five Finger Shoes.  Ugliest things I have ever seen in my life but he has been obsessed for awhile now.  He is forever following Tim Ferriss's blog where he first learned about the shoes.

As soon as he came home from work he noticed the box of shoes sitting at his computer desk.  He was so excited he ran over and opened it up and pulled the shoes out of the box, then pulled the balled up tissue paper out of the shoes.  He started trying to fit his toes into the slots in the shoes and then immediately demanded we go outside and take a walk so he could really try them out.  We walked for about 20 minutes and when we got home his feet were sore, because the shoes supposedly strengthen your foot muscles.  He says once you put them on and they fit really well, you barely feel them!  Try some for yourself...
