    why you hatin' on fivefingers? mine are great. falling apart, but great..lol

    I do not wear them in public though, and honestly, I'm planning on getting something more like you have. I need the minimalist shoe, but i can't do the runs and jumps with the vibrams on. might get some of the Reebok Nano. They're pretty sweet.

    you naturally flexible or do you do mobility at night? I find it hard to hit depth with extra wide sump squats.

    It takes me a few warm up sets to get to depth(and below) with ultra wides. Trust me, it's a pain in the (not) ass.
