WARNING: Shameless advertising
I've been getting stopped a lot on the street lately about my unique (read: awesome) shoes. I purchased a pair of Vibram Five Fingers at the beginning of this year.
Now, I'm not a normal girl when it comes to shoes. I wear them out constantly and don't see any point in spending hundreds of dollars for a pair of high heels that I would only wear once in a while and could potentially be ruined by a host of things (like getting chewed up by a dog). $30-$40 is what I like to keep my budget around but in this case, I had to break my rule.
These shoes may seem unorthodox but I use them for everything. Going to the gym? Vibrams. Rafting the river? Vibrams. Walking around campus? Vibrams. They're super light so it makes running easier, washable and flexible just like water shoes, and force the alignment of your toes and feet all while promoting correct foot movement.
To put it simply, Vibrams are the shit.
Mine still are in great condition and these things have been through Hell and back. I've taken them in the river, on the beach, to the gym, on campus, and on road trips. If they get dirty or messy, I just throw them in the washing machine. You heard right, in the washing machine.
And by the way, you don't need socks. That's always a plus. I can't count how many times I've tried to find socks before heading off to the gym.
These are the kind I have, but they come in a variety of styles:

Okay, shameless advertising over.
