Ok – so I took some Christmas money and bought some funky shoes. My Keen sandals (*yes, you hard core people know*) have been more than sufficient – but scrambling through a wet creek with them can quickly collect sand and small rocks that seem near impossible to tap or shake out to a degree that you end up doing a neat little dance. Not with my new fivefinger vibrams! The model I have is KSO (keep stuff out). They look pretty strange (conversation starters) but feel wonderful. They are not for hard core trekking but I bet they would be fine on enchanted rock!
Shoes for people who just don’t feel like taking their shoes off to play footsie. They’re like….foot gloves. I imagine that if we had functioning feet, meaning we had opposible thumbs on our feet like chimps and could swing from trees, then this is what our shoes would have looked like from the beginning.
They are kinda funny. I picture this movie of just your feet, just like the photo, that go sneaking up to a window, grabs an old brick, breaks the window, climbs inside, steals the jewelery and then makes a run for it. A whole series. Car jackings, muggings, drug deals…like grand theft auto with just the feet.
