At first glance the Vibram FiveFingers shoe design is a little creepy (my wife gave a veto just now). These shoes fit over your feet and look like your feet! The design takes a minimalist approach to barefooting. Non-marking Vibram TC1 performance rubber soles protect your feet and provide a sure grip over a variety of terrain. A thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric fits low on the foot—for comfort and quick drying. I like them!

CLASSIC IS BEST FOR: Running, Fitness Training, Martial Arts, Yoga, Pilates, Travel

Apparently, the typical human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. Many experts believe the shoes we wear weaken our foot and leg muscles, leaving them underdeveloped and more prone to injury. Stimulating muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception (wait what is that?).
