Survival Series:The Five Fingers

One of my biggest fears is that if/when any type of ish goes down, I don't want to be caught out there in the wilderness of North America without shoes. Slippers and sandals won't serve any real justice if I need to run.

Vibram, the company who IMO makes the best soles ever, came up with this idea. I'm not gonna get into the conversation on how other footwear may be too cushion-y to where it actually makes you feet weaker, or the fact that most likely the majority of us are too used to that type of cushion-y footwear to where we won't patronize this product.

But this here, is something I can use. I wouldn't rock them to/from work like how cats switch up footwear in NYC, nor would I do any running or trail walking in them, although they can be used in these capacities. No I'm not gonna rock them with jeans and a v-neck tee. I would use them at the crib, in the car (OK, maybe they will get worn w/jeans & a tee), at the beach (those Coney Island, Rockaway, and Brighton beach goers could definitely use these), or place them in the luggage when I travel (a plus at the airport). They might even push the boots inside the REAL survival bag.

But some of you dudes may have to grind that marble off of your feet and clip the talons to wear these.
