Wow. Glad your Wikipedia is as good as your
assumption'd powers, longhair. I was simply referring to the fact that most tabis commercially available in the US are poorly constructed from cloth that a pantless Ethiopian child wouldn't wear and rubber that wouldn't see use as a doormat to a strip club in NC.
The benefit of buying Vibram Five Fingers is that the product is durable... probably because the Vietnamese slave children putting them together get paid more than those that make tabis. I've seen Kung Fu flats, tabis, and Five Fingers. Five Fingers make the rest look like bad 6th grade home ec projects.

One of the best ways to toughen up your paws is to run on the beach as a part of life guard training. The sand and shell fragments will toughen you up right quick. I got blisters the size of Gary Coleman the first time I did it and I spent 4 years as a mother ruckin' para. Shit is way tough on your tootsies.
