Have anyone heard of the Vibram Five Fingers? It have been getting raves for mimicking barefooted running and it have been said to improve your running experience.

I'm looking to organise a bulk purchase for it as I'm interested in owning a pair just to experience it, anyone else would be in for this?

That's great, the more we have the more we can save, eh? I am trying to get it before the next marathon is up, I've already missed Adidas' as well as Shape's so I'm eager to get on the next one.

any benefits of it?

Well, some people are beginning to question why we are using shoes with thick layers why our feet is perfectly built to handle stress and impact. So many have started to run barefooted (macam our ancestors ler haha), this shoe tries to mimic that feeling, so we are running as natural as possible but with protection against gravel, dirts and such.

Some have claimed it have strengthened their feet and toes, more welcoming on the knees, gets you more stability and balance and many have claimed their running time have improved as a result and being named Time's Best Invention in 2007.

I'm eager to try it out as otherwise I'd be spending the same amount of money on another generic pair of shoes. With this, i can use it for hiking, normal walking and whatnots as it is just so durable.

saw that in Sg.  I just wonder if you can run with it comfortably.  As we are never used to running barefoot.  Wallking with it shud not be a prob.

I think with a couple times of using it, we can get used to it. After all, I still prefer to play football barefooted and as humans, we are naturally built to run/walk/jump or whatever barefooted.
