Monkey Shoes
If you’re looking to take your running experience a notch higher, you should definite look out for these amazing monkey shoes by Vibram. Like other parts of the body, the human foot is also a complex masterpiece, complete with muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

With the regular training shoes that we wear, maximum pressure falls on the heel, thereby releasing unnatural pressure to the legs and knees. The Vibrams on the other hand, give you a barefoot running experience, whereby the pressure falls on the forefoot. This in turn improves balance, increases stability, and has minimum impact on the knees – perfect to stimulate the muscles in your feet and lower legs. With slots for each of your toes and a tough rubber sole for protection, these incredible shoes from Vibram are the ultimate barefoot performance shoes.
