I've worn them many times and I must say you feel so free in them. They don't weigh you down at all. My foot hurt a bit when I started using them(for running), but like a few days later the pain stopped and they felt great.
DAMN.

They recommend these toe socks: http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/pro...inji_socks.htm Would probably be good for winter or if you wear them a lot and don't want to have to clean them cus they stink.

i never saw shoes like that ...

It's supposed to feel like being barefoot, and to me shoes are uncomfortable. They have a thicker model, the treks that looks more normal-ish and are for very rocky areas, but are thicker so less barefoot feel. Check the site, KSO's are 85$.


I might be going to the store to get some today, not for sure yet though ^.^ My parents already think I'm crazy for even wanting them. I couldn't care less what others would think, I'm not going to apologize for being comfortable/wearing healthy shoes.

Does any of you that have it wear them for normal shoe use like to the store and out and about? Any weird comments :P?

Also, hampa supports these shoes ;o

My uncle has them, and trust me they look stupid. He says they help your balance or something like that. I would never wear those things.

I would wear them, but not to school or any social gatherings, you won't hear the end of it.
Back for good.

They look pretty 'unique'.
And for $85-$110, it's even better.
When I first saw these (a few months ago), I thought they were some kind of meme.
BAD LUCK

Eh, I'm sure they are healthy for you in some way, but I'd be too concerned about stepping on glass or a rock or a lego brick.

Also, why do people need all of this stuff to run? What ever happened to putting on shoes that weren't your normal shoes and just, running?

Anyway, the award for footwear I'd like to have but never use goes to poweriser stilts, those things look awesome.

My seniority means you should probably just agree with everything I say
