Traveling Light to Greece with Vibrams Five Fingers

The Vibrams Five Fingers are great for traveling. They weigh nothing and take up very little space, a big benefit in these days when airlines charge for almost anything related to baggage. Steve who is a Vibram shoes fan, he took along his Vibram Five Fingers Classic, Sprints and Bikilas on a recent trip to Greece. That's about 2 pounds. Not bad for three pairs of shoes. After the jump, read what Steve had to say about his travels, see some more great pics and learn to say "Five Finger Shoes" in Greek! Let us to see his story:

I took most of my collection to our recent trip to Greece. My Vibram five fingers classic kept my feet cool, clean and comfortable during the 11 hour flight. They were easily refreshed by a washing in the beach shower. I put about 30 miles on them during this trip in varied terrain (beach, streets and paths) and they handled everything.

I've been wearing Vibram fivefingers mens regularly for about a year and a half now so my feet are used to them. Here in Colorado we have a few chilly days in the winter. When the temperature drops I wear my Five fingers kso with Injinji socks. I'm really looking forward to the Komodos. They look like they will be a great trail and winter shoe. But back to the trip. I never had any foot pain on the trip. Wearing vibram 5 fingers as much as possible has allowed me to recover the natural stride that I had lost by wearing shoes. My wife, daughter and sister also wore barefoot shoes several occasions on the trip and didn't have any problems.

As you can tell, I love Vibram fivefingers running shoes. During the trip I was known as the ambassador of funny shoes. Every day someone would approach me and ask about them. It was a great ice-breaker. I had a great time being the Vibram fivefinger ambassador throughout our trip. A day didn't go by without someone coming up to me an asking about those "shoes".
