For at least 2 million years, humans have roamed the earth and run the terrain. According to Daniel Lieberman, a Harvard professor, modern running shoes were only invented in the 1970s. The debate among professionals is: Shoes or no shoes?

The "hottest" brand of no-shoe shoes is Vibram Five Fingers. They provide the protection your feet need in whatever environment you are in, but they allow your body to do what it was designed to do. To get you from A to B. The point of Five Fingers is to stimulate your feet, which of course is the base to the entire body. As exercise enthusiasts, we understand that one minor change can affect the entire body. This is the idea behind Vibram. By starting at the feet and using muscles you never knew you had, you are affecting your stance, stride, and posture for the better.

I intend on purchasing a pair in the next few weeks and I will report my findings!
