"kaki ayam" - barefoot



bought this pair (viabram five fingers) in new york and been wearing them a couple of weeks already. ran in them a couple of times and i have never felt so wondeful. i have found my answer! i have been never satisfied with all of my running shoes because i felt that certain muscle of my lower leg is "sleeping". when i had my feet in viabram five fingers for the first time, i felt that something has been awaken.

that's viabram five fingers. it is like a sock with five pockets for each toe and a protective sole. i stumbled over rocks but my toes are in one piece. this thing looks like something that divers wear. what the heck, i happy running in it.

what's so special about this thing? it actually give the the owner the experience of barefoot running. this new experience made me realized that i don't actually need a good running shoe to run well. i have been forgotten that when i was very young i used to run with no shoes on and i did run faster. although i only had them for about one month, i have already felt the positive effect of barefoot running. for more info on barefoot running, do visit www.viabramfivefingers.com

i hope i'll do my first 21k in viabram and if everything goes well, i might think of doing this year's standard chartered singapore marathon in them!
