Dork Status... Confirmed

So, I wore the Fivefingers for a quick run to my local italian grocery store (Caputo's, great produce) and there was a guy standing in the produce section that looked like he just walked off the set of "The Soprano's". Shiny eggplant-ish color mob suit, the black shirt, big gold medallion... You know the guy I am talking about.

Anyway, he looks at my shoes and kind of chuffs a bit and nudges one of his worker guys to point out the shoes. He kind of laughs and asks, "Hey, what kinda shoes are those you got on?"

I reply, "They are called Vibram Fivefingers."

"Well, they sure look weird."

Now, usually, I would have just nodded and wandered off, thinking of snappy retorts much later. This time though, this time it was perfect. In my best imitation of Marisa Tomei from "My cousin Vinny" I was able to reply, "Oh, and you blend."

It was awesome.

I also had a very good conversation with another patron who had been thinking of getting them too. They agreed that they are very dorky shoes :-)
