Fahion Vibram Fivefingers , Cool Life!

May 26, 2010 - PRLog -- It’s almost like asking someone what is the role of a  table if you want to serve dinner. Of course you can have some dinner in bed  and you can have it also on a plate and just on the floor, but I think that  when you put it on the table, it’s the most pragmatic. There are certain things  that I guess are essential and this is one of them.
A glass of champagne,  and miles of beautiful shoes await you, so stop by and indulge yourself with a  one of a kind shopping experience, as well as the chance to chat with Mr.  Louboutin while he signs your latest favorite acquisition.We’re planning on wearing flats on  Fashion’s Night Out. How else could we get from Saks Fifth Avenue (JT alert!)  to Vena Cava’s block party in Williamsburg and back to the Meatpacking District  without developing some Big Apple-sized blisters? Speaking of hoofing it,  Christian Louboutin will be offering Champagne foot baths and pedicures at his  Madison Avenue shop. No, the shoe maestro himself won’t be in town; he’s busy  putting the finishing touches on his new Rodeo Drive boutique. Louboutin  directed a short film in honor of his new Beverly Hills home, and he offered  Style.com an exclusive sneak peek. Psychologic owes a big debt to the Alfred  Hitchcock classic, if only Janet Leigh had been lucky enough to land in  Louboutin nirvana after she met her grisly end.
vibram five fingers at http://www.onlineoriginals.org are a revolutionary  barefoot shoe with individual toes and a thin rubber sole that will let you run  and play like you did as a kid. Birthday Shoes has VFF reviews, photos, forums,  news, and resources. Come outside and play!
 Barefoot running is on the rise, as it  should be. For many people, it is healthier and more enjoyable than running in  big clunky, supportive running shoes.
 The recent surge in interest in barefoot  running is largely the result of Christopher McDougall’s book Born to Run. In  it, McDougall weaves a well-written, fascinating tale about the Tarahumara  Indians of Mexico’s remote Copper Canyon who can run ultra marathon distances  (perhaps 100 miles) in flimsy sandals called huaraches (tire tread with leather  straps), and often finish in top place—without running injuries
 Previously, I have written on some  advantages of fivefingers running shoes, and perhaps this is why Vibram recently sent me  a pair of their Vibram Five Fingers KSO shoes to try.
 vibram fivefingers kso shoes are  unique in that they have extremely flexible soles. In fact, the entire shoe is  flexible and truly is the poster child for “minimalist footwear” or minimalist  running shoes. (Today’s New York Times reports on the success of minimalist  shoes in an article titled, Wiggling Their Toes at the Shoe Giants.)

 Is This The World's Most Flexible Shoe?
 vibram fivefingers Kso says they conceived of the Vibram  Five Fingers as an alternative to traditional footwear, and it incorporates  “barefoot technology.” That is, the shoes strive to allow you to let your bare  feet control the shoe.
 According to R. Squadrone  and C.  Gallozzi at the Institute of Sport Medicine and Sport Science in Rome, Italy, vibram shoes may have succeeded. In their research paper “Biomechanical and  physiological comparison of barefoot and two shod conditions in experienced  runners” they found that the movement of the foot and ankle during running when  wearing the fivefingers kso was similar to the movement when running  barefoot.
 Squadrone and Gallozzi state that the  Vibram Five Fingers allowed the stride length to increase the force of pushing  off the ground to increase when compared to running barefoot. These differences  were due to the thin sole of the Five Fingers shoes, they suspected. Most  importantly, the researchers found the Vibram Five Fingers allowed the wearer  to sense the ground and moderate their running movements in response to the  terrain.
 Further, when running in Vibram Five  Fingers were compared to shod (regular shoe) running, the Five Fingers were  found to be more energy efficient. The researchers found 2.8% less oxygen  consumption when running in Vibram Five Fingers as compared to running in shoes  that weighed 400 grams.
 Many studies have compared oxygen  consumption (as an indicator of energy consumption) in running barefoot or shod  (with sheepskin ugg boots). The results have been conflicting. It seems that the heavier the  shoes, the more oxygen required. However, oddly, Squadrone and Gallozzi found  that wearing Vibram Five Fingers when running required LESS oxygen than running  barefoot.Another  way in which UGG boots have seen some differences over the years in terms of  style includes their height. The traditional knee-high boots have seen some  modifications for warmer climates, including lower boots or even moccasins.  These all fall under the Emu umbrella, but the knee-high boots are still by far  the most popular design. This is the type that flies off the shelves year  round, for consumers of all ages. When Alber Elbaz phoned me from Paris, it was 8 p.m.  there. The end of a long workday? No, he said, he was planning on spending a  couple more hours in the studio after we finished.  During our conversation, somewhat condensed here,  he spoke frankly about the problems the industry faces, his observations  frequently punctuated by bursts of humor.
