Follow-up to "The Runner and Toe Shoes"

So my friend I refer to as "The Runner" has finally gone and taken the plunge, sort of.  He didn't get Vibrams, instead he got the Merrell Barefoot Trail Gloves, which are the next best thing.

He took them for a run on the treadmill, and sent me this message:

"Love em.. Never going back"

His boys still wear their FiveFingers, or go barefoot, all the time.
