Not Fit for Morning

[jocelina]

Over the years I've gotten to be more of a morning person, in that I get up before nine a.m. on the weekends even when I don't have to. I'm not sure why, exactly, because I am still not what anyone would call an actual morning person

For the record, in the mornings, I have:

1. Tried to put on a pullover sweater as a zippered hoodie and been similarly confused in the process.
2. Tried to put on a pair of jeans inside out.
3. Tried to put on a pair of jeans backward.
4. Tried to put on a thong backward.
5. Actually succeeded in donning a sports bra backward, then been confused as to why my boobs wouldn't fit.

i wanted to get a pair of vibram fivefingers, but i was afraid i would never take them off ! how do you find them for sizing ? do you take the same size as your regular footwear ?

I wear a women's 9.5-10 in US sizing, which is roughly equivalent to a 41-42 in European sizing. I wear a FiveFingers 41, and that is appropriately form-fitting but not at all too snug. (That is, the shoes fit closely around my feet but at no point encroach on my foot form or motion.) I could possibly go up a size for solely casual wear (moderate walking) and down a size for more rigorous athletic wear (like, rock climbing), but for what I do (yoga, road and trail running), this size is likely the best.

If you're in an area that sells them in-store (some REIs do, as well as some Foot Lockers -- as well as some independent running/outdoor stores), the best bet is to try and get fitted in person. That said, the second best bet is to take your foot measurement -- in inches -- and use the on-site size calculator.

This makes me glad I've never tried thongs. I always thought they might be a safer alternative to regular underwear (which I sometimes put on sideways by mistake in the mornings -- one leg through a leg-hole, one through the waistband) but this dashes those hopes!

I started to put on a pair of shoes and stopped because something felt off. Because I wasn't wearing pants.

And I'm glad to hear you like the FiveFingers! I have heard nothing but glowing reviews from people who wear them and I think I'm going to get a pair myself next weekend.
