Anyone else sporting a pair of fivefingers? I saw a couple of guys wearing them at a convention I was at and just had to get a pair. I recall reading a lot of press on bare foot running, and walking in recent news but didn't know where to actually get the shoes. I went to a few local stores and they were all completely sold out but I did mange to get my size. The official site seems to have all sizes in stock which worked out great.

I have been sporting my pair of Sprints for a few days now and it's been pretty interesting trying to get my feet to adjust to them. I plan on wearing them every day for a month and see how it goes.

The #1 most important thing. MAKE SURE YOU GET THEM IN THE RIGHT SIZE.
If they are loose, you will get an areola looking scab on your heel/tendon area from the chafing.

Case in point: I'm a 42, but I got a 43 in my first pair. Fucked everything up.
Also, they will stink uncontrollably after a little while. Washing them helps, but you best be getting a new pair after a few months of consistent use.

VIVO BAREFOOT - These are a good alternative to Vibrams that look like normalish shoes. Also you could just make some Tarahumara-like sandals How to make huaraches. DIY instructions for barefoot running sandals. | InvisibleShoe.com that are basically the same thing.

Damn those MBT things look really silly and yeah the fivefingers do look a bit silly but I was not planing on using them as a shoe replacement. I am going to wear them at first to break them in and get a feel them, after which ill use them for running, sailing, kayaking, etc

My gf doesn't seem to care to much about them, she already knows I am eccentric its surely not the weirdest thing I own.

Btw here is the site if anyone didn't bother to google it. http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/indexNA.cfm

I'd actually be more inclined to think the vibrams would help you get laid more than gucci loafers. If you're in the gym wearing those, you might have some girl ask you what they are, whereas gucci shoes are beyond the line of "oh this guy dresses nice he might have a little money" and has crossed into "look at this douchebag".

blank_czech

Yeha, the vibs are nice. Especially if you're outdoorsey and or live in the sticks. I kind of want to make a pair of tarahumara though. Vibrams smell like ass it's ridiuclous.

I kinda like the 5 fingers shoes I want to get some perhaps.

For the people saying they smell like ass the instructions say you can just put them in the washing machine. Cloths smell like ass to if you never wash them.

I saw some girl wearing them in Tampa... kinda cute in a way.

Then i saw a dude wear them, fucking gay as hell.

They also make your feet smell unbelievable. Like after awhile, you'll wash them, wear them once or twice, and then they start smelling again. It's like a pair of underwear instead of a normal shoe.

They look fugly as hell imo but I wouldn't mind trying a pair on... I'm a socks person though, I can't stand not wearing socks. It also seems like that strap would rub blisters is used for running.

nickycakes

they have a few different models, the ones in that picture aren't for running

b_sun

Yeah clown/bowling shoes are the new shit. ----->>>>>

Pristine1

I've got a pair of fivefingers and they're the shit! I dont know about the OP and wearing them around all day...but I use mine for running and crossfit.

Affiliati

I've had two pairs for about a year now. Done pretty much everything from walking to running to long hikes through the mountains with them and they've never let me down. Definitely the most comfortable shoes I have.

I've got a pair of FF KSOs. Only had them for a while, where em for running in. I love em.

As for getting laid - depends on if you can carry that sort of thing off.

Not really an issue for me. One of the advantages of marriage is that frequency of sexual intercourse is no longer related to shoe choice.

My sketchers (MBT wannabes) are comfy as hell but really heavy. Great for my back, hard on my knees for that reason. Thinking about checking out those MBT sandals though. I bet those are lighter.

onlinemoniez

Respectable business men wear these.

Wiggers/skaters wear these. If I meet up with a cat wearing these, and he wants to discuss business, it's not happening.

LOL dude... yea because you know... its not about the skills/ethic, its all about the shoes. you fucking douche.

stumpyb

u should consider how much biz u may lose out on due to superficial values

JohnCJackson

Who wears shoes to get laid? Or to impress another dude? Wear whatever works for function. If you are hiking, don't wear homosexual bowling shoes.

mr coolerer

barefoot or something that will let me change gears on a motorbike.

Not motorbike boots as such but when I've broken them in I can ware them all day and not have any issues. And not much good for cross fit, but they do good for me.

roclafamilia

sooo...if barefoot is best...why not go barefoot?

I hate shoes so I only wear them when i'm required to...like going into stores, walking in filthy places like public bathrooms, snow, etc...other than that it's barefoot all the time...and only wear socks when wearing shoes...

100 burpees for time = 8s all over me.
