You know who loves Vibrams?

PRE-SCHOOLERS!  I usually work out at the office and go and pick up the kiddos in my workout attire. Everytime I go in there, the kids are fascinated by the shoes.  I had two kids crawling between my legs in the toddler room trying to get a look at them.  A kid in the preschool room was giving me the fifth degree - "what are those?  Why are you wearing them?"  I asked him, "do you like them?"  He cocked his head for a minute, and then smiled and said "yes."  So funny.

Merry Christmas to me!  This was one of the Christmas gifts I got from Hubby (although I went and bought them - he wrapped).  But I'm not sure though if I like them or not.  My little toes feel like they are  hitting the end of the shoes in an uncomfortable way.  I'm going to try and make sure that my heel is back far enough and see if that helps.  I will hate it if I don't end up liking them - they were $100 and that's alot to us right now. 
I've only been wearing them when I work out.  I noticed that alot of the FBB weight training has balance elements in it, so I thought it would be good to wear these.  I'm also hoping that wearing them will strengthen my leg and feet muscles so that the shin splints aren't so bad when I start running again in the spring.
