Sergey Brin, Co-Founder of Google, swears by his "Crazy Monkey Shoes"!
At the recent press launch of the new Google Chrome OS, Co-Founder of the Internet Search Engine giant, Sergey Brin, was seen sporting a pair of the Vibram Fivfingers KSO shoes that, by his own admission, he has become extremely attached to.

Brin's reference to the Vibram KSO Sports Footwear as his "crazy monkey shoes", are one of the best selling lines of our Vibram Fivefingers range which includes the top selling Classic, the Sprint and the Flow all of which are soon to be joined by some new additions to the range including the laced version, the Speed designed for a more natural "walking" experience and the Bikila designed for a more natural running experience and both equally at home on smooth or rougher terrain with their increased tread soles.
The Fivefingers phenomenon has gained momentum in the past year or so and the endorsement from such a high profile individual as Brin and other equally high profile celebrity names, is testament to the undoubted comfort and therapeutic benefits the Vibram Fivefingers provide to runners and walkers alike. You can read Brin's own account of his radical change and the improvement to his stature and overall health from discovering his Vibram Fivefingers at http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/08/10/review-vibram-five-fingers-classic/.
Fivefingers offer the wearer the benefit of "going barefoot" without the inherent physical dangers of doing so in a 21st Century world. The Barefoot Running brigade, are a rapidly expanding group who have seen the enormous benefits the Vibram Fivefingers have brought to their overall health and running performance by applying bio-mechanical advantages and allowing their bodies to perform the way they were designed to perform.....naturally!
Barefoot athletes are not new. Ethiopia's Abebe Bikila, where the name of the new Bikila range comes from, strode purposefully without any footwear to Gold in the 1960 Rome Olympics and the legendary Zola Budd notoriously ran barefoot at the 1984 Los Angeles games, are two high profile names in the sport of many athletes who are reverting to the "barefoot revolution".
