FIVEFINGER shoes… in the NEWS!!!

Brian Learn, 33, of Piedmont wears them for weight-lifting and CrossFit training. His advice is to start out by wearing them around the house, advice he wishes he'd followed. "It's a slow transition. There is a big change in the muscle use," says Learn, who trains at LaLanne Fitness. "I was sore for two weeks but (since then) I haven't put on a pair of sneakers in four months."-Sam Whiting, SF Chronicle Staff Writer
