As usual, my co-workers were quick to comment on them which was to be expected. This time they told me I bought a pair of leather slippers. They certainly are as comfortable as slippers but can pass as shoes at work and are much less conspicuous at work than my VFFs. I like how easy they are to slip on. In addition to wearing them at work, I wear them to the corner bus stop with my son every weekday morning. After I wave goodbye to the school bus, I love how they feel on my feet when I do a short sprint home. Try doing that in a pair of regular slippers - these shoes are very well made!
My Softstar Ramblers on my desk at work.
Softstar must have read my mind because I have been thinking that they should make model that is geared for running - and lo and behold - they have done just that! They now offer the RunAmoc line and offer two types of soles - one for trails and one for street running. I think I might sample a pair very soon as I am very satisfied with my first purchase from Softstar.
On the topic of new minimalist shoes, Vibram Five Fingers also has some new models coming out that I can't wait to sample. Okay, I know, I am getting really weird about minimalist shoes - but I can't help it! Check out the post below about what is coming up for VFFs.
