Maybe if they took the brand out of it, it would be a good idea. I went through a Vibram phase a decade or so ago. I really enjoyed it; being unable to wear them at work, and the added difficulty of putting them on and off eventually turned me off to them, but I felt the concept was great.
I still love the idea of Vibrams and the five fingers were so fun but I just never wear them...
The Fingers were the only Vibrams available at the time, I think; I may have had more success with something less fussy.
Vibrams also made/makes normal soles that are often found on shoes of other brands too. You may have worn some without even realizing. I did.
Yup, I swear by hiking boots with Vibram soles, and have for over a decade.
For me the worst part was wearing them on any hard flat surfaces always made my feet hurt, I have a high arch and it felt like the pain was due to not having enough support
Yes, concrete was certainly an issue. I figured I just didn't wear them enough to get used to it. So many runners are able to do it.
Oh! That could have been it, but also runners aren't exactly a healthy standard, those weirdos are cool with bloody nipples. /s
