Yoga Running Shoes

So perhaps you've heard something about these shoes already and are considering getting a pair? Perhaps not, and have just accidentally come across this article. Well, all I can say is that the Yoga Running Shoes are great.

Vibram have started to branch out from the Vibram FiveFingers Classic and have developed different shoes to specialise in different fields. The ideas are all similar, a shoe to bring as near as possible barefoot experience with the protection needed underfoot so avoid any cuts and abrasions. Good stuff I reckon.
The shoes are made from durable materials to protect the sole of the foot and afford good grip on surfaces. 

The uppers are each slightly different, the FiveFingers Mary Jane are actually made with a Kangaroo leather upper. These particular shoes have probably the most limited use because they are for indoor use only, but what a great looking pair of Yoga Running Shoes and would be real nice for Yoga or Pilates and even just general indoor wear.

The FiveFingers Bikila is the newest addition have been created with running specially in mind. The Bikila have more protection underfoot, there is a thicker section for the ball of the foot since the idea is that barefoot or indeed near barefoot running will encourage your body to begin forefoot Yoga Running Shoes and therefore a healthier style of movement for your body. The toes are well protected also and there is extra padding around the ankle to make the shoe much more comfortable. This is not to say that the other FiveFingers shoes are less comfortable but the Vibram Bikila is probably the most specialised.
