“How can I ever take anything you say seriously again! I hope you don’t walk round in public with those things on”

These are just some of the comments I’ve been receiving lately, so I thought I’d review these five fingers. When you buy a set of Vibram shoes, I don’t know why they don’t state on the box ‘helps develop thick skin too!’ What a marketing ploy that would be. Continue reading →
