It's All About the Shoes!

Deb got me all inspired to write a shoe post...she was having issues buying shoes, so if you are so inclined, go help "a sista out".

Last year...at least I think it was last year...maybe the year before that, I bought these shoes up in New Hampshire:



They are made by a company called Vibram and the type of shoe is called Five Fingers.



I totally flipped a scrip when I saw them...they were the coolest shoes ever! They are also crazy, crazy comfortable. They are made to give you the freedom of walking barefoot, without the pain on the bottom of your feet. They are PERFECT for the beach and bumming around town. I have gotten some strange looks wearing them, but anyone who has the guts to say anything always wants to know where they can get theirs!

The only places that sell them in Georgia are in the Atlanta area, but you can head on over to their website to see if they are sold in your area:

I think I saw these shoes over at Half Moon Outfitters on Broughton. They do look very awesome, but seeing as how I can't deal with toe socks, I don't think these would work for me.

and they totally rock if you have a foot fetish :)

M - ohhhhhhhhh really?!? That is great! I checked on the site to see if they had them as selling, they don't, but maybe the site only does like certified seller people...wtf knows and who cares! So sorry you can't wear the toe socks or shoes...they are bad ass!

Justin - you make an EXCELLENT point...speak from experience?

Half Moon Outfitters has them online, and even some of the styles are on sale.

They are interesting but I'm more entranced by the ad I got for wedges made by Crocs today

WANT.

Those are incredibly freaky and weird......I must have a pair.

Jes said...

HEY! These are awesome. A fellow kayaker just showed them to me. Apparently that's what they are intended for, but they look crazy enough to wear whenever, wherever! I'm still trying to decide if I would wear them 'out'. I'm thinking maybe I would!!!!

Jess said...

Mitzy - you are sooooo my best friend forever and ever for finding those! Now I can go and buy the other styles I want! HOW EXCITING!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

Lilli - Crocs have been on the list for want 'round my place...

CPM - GET.

MD - you would love them!!

Jes - I am assuming that it depends on what part of the country you are in as to what you will hear they are *best* used for. In New Hampshire they said "These are GREAT for rock climbing!!" and I was all like, "Yeah, the only thing I climb is a bar stool buddy, so just hand over the shoes!"
