right schorsch

I have the basic ones.
I don't use them for running, but walking the dogs, Girya training, karate training when I do something outside, and just general use instead of "normal" sneakers or so.
They're really good strenghtening lil' muscles in your feet as said.

I do a lot of hiking in vibram five fingers. I would imagine they are great for running as well. They give you a feel for the ground and really strengthen your feet in ways sneakers cannot. It does take time to get used to build up stamina and get used to them and they are rediculous looking but they do the trick.

Thanks guys. I think I'll hit up a specialty running store to see exactly what I would need.

@Giles:

The 95% label in the grey marl Tee is a mistake.  It is 100% cotton….

Well, that's a simple answer.  I like it.:)

Can fat people go 'skinny ' dipping ?

Why isn't there ' mouse ' flavoured cat food ?

I mis-read this as Does anyone else find croissants annoying? To which I would answer yes, when the pastry falls all over your lap.

Eating croissants can be quite the challenge!..

New York residents, tell me about Tokio 7. Is it any good? What are their prices like? My wife loves odd, kitsch stuff (like me), and this sounds like it could be a place that she would enjoy.

Hit or miss. Designer brands at discounted prices. Definitely worth a visit while you are here. As for other spots similar, shoot urbanwoodsman a PM as he knows pretty much every spot in the city and BK.

I should be able to do that. A lot of the consignment/vintage/thrift places are hit and miss, that's why I go 1-2 times a week. You never know!

There's about 7-8 places I go to in the East Village. Then, take a stroll down to the Lower East side for Selfedge, Epaulet, Reed Space. Then, curve around to 3-4 places in Nolita including Supreme. Then, Soho for Blue in Green.

There's three vintage/thrift spots in Williamsburg that you have to go to as well though. One is run by a bunch of Japanese guys, and you know they kind of know what they're doing in that department
