Today, I published a review of Vibram FiveFingers Speed footcoverings, which is a wonderful combination of road feel, foot protection, retrospective styling, and laces. That's right: laces! From behind and from the sides, the Speed looks like a pair of Airwalk or Vans skater shoes or even old-school Adidas football boots (which is what the British call soccer cleats), but with the separated toe enclosures indicative of any FiveFingers model. Here is a link to that review:
To summarize, the Speed is my favorite Vibram FiveFingers model and is the best one available for overall running performance balanced with an understated, yet funky look. Most of what Vibram has to offer is either gaudily colored, constructed with space-agey materials and design concepts, or both. The Speed is a throwback with minimal style, but with breathable black mesh fabric and strategically placed pads on a 7mm outsole. Thus, the Speed has truly gone "back to the future."
