Vibram didn’t create it’s Five Fingers footwear as a conversation piece, but that’s how they’ve worked for me – repeatedly and in nearly every setting where I’ve worn them. Most recently, I wore them on a series of walking tours in New Orleans. In addition to countless looks and whispers on the theme of “Did you see her shoes?” and “Those shoes have toes!” one guy actually got down on his knees outside the Plaza de Espana to examine my shoes and confirm that they really have (Vibram) soles.
