Git Your Rubber On-


Consider these condom for your feet. Just a thin layer of rubber to protect the bottom of your feet and toes while allowing you to feel the surface almost as if you are barefoot.

I bought these bad boys last week and have been wearing them to gym daily. Instantly I noticed that normally I stomp too hard my heels when I walk with regular shoes on. These VFFs (Vibram FiveFingers) force me to walk more softly on the balls of my feet. I found them particularly good doing balance workouts like kettlebell. Hope these help with my plantar fasciitis.

Looks pretty sweet, how flexible is sizing? Don't think they have a distributor in HK. Would be good for BJJ.

Someone wore these into the office recently and I screamed like a little girl and almost got sick.

Ew

Do they support your feet properly? i.e. if they are just a rubber sock with toes then you will probably end up with sore feet after a while...and then flat feet and an enlarged big toe joint

Nemo, I think sizing runs a little small. I would say size down. If you are 10.5US or 11 then go with 43.

Anon at 343am. Yep, they're basically microfiber socks with grippy, rubber bottom. Think of them as like those NFL wide receiver (or golf) gloves for your feet. I think us modern men who are accustomed to shoes can spend more than an hour a day in the VFFs but I find it rather therapeutic.
