Oh dear- each time any of our shoe loving staff return from a visit to a super-flash resort in the tropics, we return to the office bearing stories of men and women walking freestyle (NO SHOES, FLIPS OR SLIPPERS) to the breakfast buffet. In Asia we know the house rules of no-shoes-inside - but the code darling, …is this doesn’t apply at the breakfast buffet. These shoeless neanderthols often come flaunting their swimwear too. Translated -  the peasant may become rich but not his habits.

Trendecentral, bless their generous souls have scouted the perfect solution, Vibram FiveFingers. From the brand best known for their hardcore rubber outsoles comes a strange yet incredibly cool looking shoe—the FiveFingers. Catering to those outdoor sports fans who’d rather go barefoot, these glove-like shoes allow everyone from runners and kayakers to surfers, climbers and yogis to safely enjoy their activities while at the same time, retaining the sensation of being barefoot with no footwear constraints. Claiming to increase balance, agility, and posture, the variety of styles cater to both sports enthusiasts and the casual hiker, and perhaps, the design-savvy shoe addict as well.

Can’t say we like them, but its better than bare feet and an interesting alternative to Crocs!
