Toe Shoes: Vibram FiveFinger Toe Shoes & Fila Skele-Toe Shoes
There are two popular makes of Toe Shoes: Vibram Toe Shoes
The most preferred brand is Vibram Five Toe Shoes, however if you're looking for a slightly less expensive Toe Shoe then Fila's are a good choice.
The notable difference between the two shoes is that while Vibram Toe Shoes have 5 toe slots, Fila Skele-Toes come with 4; The last two toes on Fila Skele-Toes are a shared slot.
You'll also notice that Vibram Toe Shoes are designed to shape the foot, where Fila Skele-Toes are less of a contoured fit and have more of ridged bottom. Vibram's were specifically designed to emulate a barefoot feeling, and thus are shaped like a foot.
Below you'll find various types of Vibram Toe Shoes and Fila Toe Shoes to choose between.

Why Wear Five Toe Shoes?
There's a great deal of evidence that running barefoot allows a person to run faster and farther with less injury.Vibram Toe Shoes
are designed so that you land directly below your center of gravity...which would be on your forefoot. This type of shoe gives you less of an impact and provides better balance while giving you more propulsion.Since you're in a simulated barefoot shoe, you'll be able to sense more of the impact on your feet and thus make adjustments to improve agility and balance. This is one of the reasons Runners love these type of shoes. These Toe Shoes are also structured to help strengthen the muscles in the lower legs and feet.

- I personally find them hideous. That being said, I know that they will be a best seller. People love this ugly healthy footware! Good work on the lens.
