Fila Skele-Toes Ez Slide Drain

Product Information

Fila’s massively marketing these here in Germany, too, and I really hate-hate-hate how they constantly pretend that these are new (never seen before! There are slides at BB and TL where they make you take your shoes off (the body slides where you go down feet first; tube slides are okay). When the skeletoes collect too much dirt, wash them out under a running tap and use a mild detergent. It’s hard to explain because the soles are stiff enough that it’s hard to wiggle your toes, but there’s enough room in the pockets for your toes to spread and work.

I am just not an all black person and also Vibram is well know for their sizing nuances where all black varieties are concerned. The soles of VFFs are very thin and “razor siped”, meaning traction comes from the tiny cuts in the rubber to grab the ground.They’re also a lot more accessible for activities like hiking since your feet are more protected but still get the benefit of some ground feel. come with increased arch and toe protection, allowing some of the foot’s more sensitive areas to go the extra mile. The Fila Shoes feature a stitch detailed, contrast Velcro closure just short of the ankle and separations for each toe, that will give your feet an almost shoeless feel. Before Vibram FiveFingers were introduced, there was no minimalist footwear constructed with individual toe pockets that encouraged natural, barefoot movement, while at the same time providing enhanced grip and protection. Safety tip: Fila doesn’t cover this, and it probably is less of an issue with Skeletoes due to their stiffer soles and mild cushioning, but there can be a transition period when wearing more minimalist footwear.

The toes are a little snug, and your last two toes are to fit in the same space where the others are separate. While most BirthdayShoes readers are likely already toe shoe aficionados who own at least one pair of Vibram FiveFingers, and often a whole closet full, at least a few readers stumble on our neck of the web looking for information about Fila Skele-toes. You see, and if you are just learning about toe shoes this may be news to you, but Fila’s Skeletoes are “also-rans” that first hit the market in early 2011 — that’s a whopping five years after Barefoot Ted ran the Boston Marathon in Classic FiveFingers (the first toe shoes). When I started running last year, I became enamored with the barefoot running concept but found my feet just couldn’t adjust to it. Gizmodo Australia summarized the Skeletoe quite nicely: “It’s like the Vibram FiveFingers and the Nike Frees had a baby.Skeletoes are also much easier for parents to slip on their children’s feet or for kids to put on because of its EZ Slide feature which combines the smallest two toes for ease of entry.
