As a runner, I’m loyal to my shoe brand. I buy the same model of $40 Asics twice a year. Usually it’s Nike who comes up with the overpriced strange features, like their running sandals from a few years ago (Air Jesus?!), or that shoe with the big toe separated like a mitten. This time some company called Vibram just one-upped Nike with the world’s ugliest running shoe: a glove on your foot with separate holes for each toe.

I don’t see myself actually running in the Five Fingers Shoes (shouldn’t it be toes?), but I do see an opportunity to create some Bigfoot hoaxes with the tracks made by their hiking boots.
