He was delivering my new pair of Vibram Five Fingers. I am officially going to start introducing a little minimalist shoe into my training.
After my regular intervals at the track today, I put them on (by the way, nobody tells you that it takes an hour and a half to get them on) and ran an inaugural 1/4 mile. Felt good.
They are a little snug, but I'm told that they break in and will feel better after a week or so. To help with that transition, I'm wearing them around the rest of the day.
Already had my first "five fingers" interaction. As I'm putting them on a guy walking by does a double take, and asks where I got them and if they were Nike's. Uh, I ordered them online and no they're not Nike's.
My wife thinks I look like a robot with them on.
