'Finger' shoes run off shelves: Vibram FiveFingers shoes (see photo below) are selling like hotcakes.

A new kind of shoe is keeping the staff of a local store on their toes.

Vibram FiveFingers shoes, which are athletic footwear with toe slots, are available at Appalachian Outdoors, 123 S. Allen St.

The webbed shoes have been selling fast, requiring frequent restocking.

Dipak Sahoo, sales associate at Appalachian Outdoors, said that in about three months, the store has sold more than 200 pairs of the shoes. Jen-Watts Matisse, buyer for the store, said that for most shoes, 10 to 20 pairs are ordered when restocking, but for FiveFingers, they have had to order 50 for each restock.
