Vibram Five Fingers - Day 23


I'm enjoying the barefoot feeling of walking around in VFF's, including while doing yardwork. However, the quality seems questionable. Maybe Classics just don't hold up as well as other models? After 23 days I have another defect - the seam in the big toe came unraveled. My girlfriend told me to send them back to Vibram for warranty (I think she is just tired of looking at them), but I decided to avoid down time without them and repair them myself. Some upholstery thread, a needle and five minutes later, a stitched toe and back in service.
