What are Vibram Five fingers

What are vibram fivefingers shoes? These odd looking shoes look like a glove for the foot, with individual slots for each toe and a thin rubber sole for the sensation of running, walking - or whatever it is that you do - barefoot.

They come in three different varieties called the KSO, the Classic, or Sprint, but the same philosophy stands behind all: It was intended by nature that we go barefoot.
