FiveFingers

Summertime always tempts folks into running around barefoot — a decision that more often than not is a bad idea. FiveFingers ($70) feature a new shoe technology that, like the Nike Free 5.0, allows the wearer to have the protection of shoes with the added muscular benefits that barefoot activities bring. The Vibram sole follows the contours of your feet and toes, while individual toe slots allow for independent movement of your "little piggies." [Thanks, Ike]
