The new invention that made me feel a bit confused but interested – Vibram FiveFingers.
They do look strange and I’m sure they feel unusual either, at least when you put them on for the first time. But the producing company promises that they will improve your balance, agility and proprioception.
These finger-shoes are said to stimulate and exercise our feet to make them healthy and strong.
They are intended to be worn for exercise, play, and for fun. But they can hardly be worn in a public place if you don’t want to be laughed at.
Each pair costs $190 and ‘fits snugly over each toe – like a pair of gloves for your feet.’
People who have already bought them say they feel pretty natural, like walking barefoot. But you will need some time to get used to them the wearers say.
Tell me, will you buy a pair for yourself?
