Activities that are No Fun in Vibram FiveFingers

Yes, there are activities that are just no fun in Vibram FiveFingers. Truth be told, they are not fun in any type of footwear.

First, sitting around in the office at work is not fun in FiveFingers. I find that my feet begin to sweat and get uncomfortable, so I often pull my heals out of the VFF to promote air circulation. Wearing toe socks has also helped with the problem. Also, FiveFingers are light and fun. Wearing them fosters a need to be out and active. It's like giving a three year-old a marshmallow and telling them to just hold onto it.

Being sick in Vibram FiveFingers is no good either. For the past week and a half, I have contracted a nasty cold, my first bug since starting to run over a year and a half ago. Having less energy and not being able to breathe well almost seems as suffocating as being behind a desk all day. I'm sure glad to be coming out of it. Swimming and biking has been far to laborious, but, now that I am feeling better, I won't have as many excuses for not being able to keep up with some of my training buddies.

I wish walking desks and good health to all Vibram FiveFinger wearers!
