In response to those worried about how you look in them, I couldn't give two s. I'm out there to run and exercise, not to be seen advertising my $140 Nikes with matching shorts, socks, and iPod armband... all in this season's hottest colors of course. :rolleyes: |
Seriously, people who bash how they look are trendy fags, who will in turn get a pair of them once it's the popular thing to do. |

Not really, though. |

i've seen people wearing these lately - well i've noticed them twice. what's the purpose exactly? they seem interesting - i don't think i would buy them for aesthetics alone, though. |
for everyday use, they force you to actually use your muscles to move/balance. You can't just lean your foot up against a big, super-supportive piece of nylon and plastic.
...or so I was told. |

My friend recently read a book about running and how barefoot is better/natural or whatever. I can understand the 5finger shoes. If I were a runner I think I'd buy a pair.
I'm going to start running actually... |

"Born to Run," perhaps. It's about these indigenous people from Northern Mexico that essentially run barefoot over mountains and stuff... supposed to be a kick ass book. It is considered to be the bible of the barefoot running movement. |

They do make little toe socks for them, but they're not necessary. The folks that sold them to me actually recommended against the socks. I've never used them. |

| Same. and if you have plans for doing cold weather activities with them there is the "FLOW" model that has a neoprene layer in it to keep your tootsies warm. |
