New shoes.
I’ve been seeing more and more about how shoes really aren’t the best things for us and began to wonder. So, I took a week and went without shoes at home (typical) and around the neighborhood. Initially, I was thinking that this would end up being a pain in the foot. And while I did have some wear from concrete and blacktop that was discomforting I didn’t have any pain beside this. In fact, what I found was the more I was barefoot the more I’d end up with discomfort from wearing shoes. So, I started looking at some shoes mentioned in the articles I had read and was intruiged by the Vibram Fivefingers. They appeared to be a way to add just a little protection between your foot and the ground without losing that barefoot feeling. So, I went to the closest local retailer that carried them and tried on a pair. I ended up liking them so much that I left with a pair. I haven’t had them for a long while, so I’m still not sure about durability, but the only regret I have is that work won’t currently let me wear them (hoping that changes).
Some of the articles I’ve read:

Picture an enthralled friend took.
I love those shoes!
