To start off the Outdoorkit blog, I'd like to feature one of our most interesting products, Vibrams' Five Fingers shoes.
Definitely nothing like your run of the mill trainers, the Five Fingers are designed to work with your feet, not just cover them up. Joe in our shop in St Albans swears by his and makes a point of wearing them at work, which draws plenty of comments and a few sales!
The soles are performance rubber and the upper is polyamide fabric, so they grip and should last a reasonable while. Getting your toes into them is the only difficult part of getting them on and once they're on.... wow! Difficult to explain exactly, but almost like bare feet without actually having bare feet if that makes sense?
Overall, great for running, especially offroad where using your toes can really help with grip, however, wouldn't fancy wearing them in the snow!
Obviously, you can buy these in store, or online:
