And now for something completely different...

My friend Christine sent me this today and I thought it was worth posting.  Its interesting to see how footwear has evolved.  Can you imagine yourself wearing these in the gym, running or rock-climbing?  At $85 you would need to be certain!

This is their blurb from the website:

The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised. 

That’s why we recommend wearing FiveFingers for exercise, play, and for fun. Stimulating the muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception.

And how about these for a spot of Asthanga?
