GREAT NINJA SHOE FINALLY MAKE AT HOME!!!:
Jika-tabi are a type of shoe usually worn in japan. They are like socks with a rubber sole(see second picture) and are very comfortable. But, if your like me, you don't have the $40 required to get a pair. :( so, i invented a way to make them yourself! you may have seen the instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/2-Running-Shoes/ , and so i thank "a splosion" for the insperation so i could upgrade his running shoes.

Jika tabi are quite useful for parkour, ESPECIALLY for climbing fences.
If you want a good local workout, go and find the tallest fence you can find ( the best ones are at schools, and near ball parks), and climb it as far as you can go using only your hands and shoes.
Jika tabi come in handy because you can position your toes in between the link in the fence, and have firmer control over your actions.
:) you should try these, I'm wearing mine right now! They are super comfortable.
