Five Fingers Shoes
I don't know about you, but these shoes look weird to me. Well, the first time I saw socks with five toes, I laughed. But I stopped laughing when they became fashionable. The shoes in the picture are called FiveFingers. They are manufactured by a company called Vibram. This is FiveFingers' unique selling point:
FiveFingers footwear connects you to the earth and your surroundings in a way that is simply not possible in conventional shoes. It puts you in touch with the earth beneath your feet and liberates you to move in a more natural, healthy way. FiveFingers stimulate the muscles in your feet and lower legs to build strength and improve range of motion. Our customers report an increased sense of balance, greater agility, and visibly improved posture.These shoes may look wacky to me now, but who knows? They seem to be mighty comfortable. I might end up wearing them one day.

In partner with these, there are four-fingered socks. I don't know if they have thought of making a five-fingered one.
