The first shoe from Vibram, maker of 32 million soles a year for more than 1,000 footwear brands. It’s a light-weight shoe, like Nike’s Free taken to the extreme, useful for any outdoor activities you’d rather do barefoot like running, boating, or rock climbing. Reviews seem to be mostly positive.

American Apparel makes plain t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, hooded sweatshirts, pants, underwear, swimwear, etc. [...] The fabric is extremely soft, the stitching is clean and durable, and they’re cut to fit — no cookie-cutter beefy T’s with scratchy labels. You won’t have to go out of your way to pay for their threads either: t-shirts sell for $15-25, collared shirts for around $40.
