    Barefoot Shoes/Vibrams

    Umm... besides the fact that you look like a fucking idiot when wearing these things, what do smart people here have to say about their efficiency?

    Everything on the internet seems to say that its another marketing gimmick that has stupid people going crazy...

    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    It looks comfortable but does not do much for support... for running, walking, cross training...

    I want a pair. I am a fan of the barefoot design platform and it's associated philosophy. I think they look cool as well, however I would not have the mesh upper so shear. I would rather it have Cordura Nylon, etc... Newton running Co. makes some tech shoes using the forefoot, (barefoot), running concept. More of a traditional shoe design.

    I refuse to support a company that calls a five-toed shoe FiveFingers...are they retarded or just dumb?

    I wonder if they could make me a web toed design for swimming, I never trust those toursit assholes to not leave broken glass all over, plus I stepped on a broken piece of coral one day and rashed up my heel bad....

    I have 2 pair, they are awesome. Educate yourself on what happens to the foot when it's in a shoe and you will probably start walking barefoot (In vibrams or entirely barefoot) more often. Your heel isn't meant to be elevated, and by doing so you run the risk of tightening your hamstrings and completely changing muscle recruitment patterns when you walk. Not to mention that an artificial arch provides support that the muscles of your lower leg are supposed to provide and since they aren't, they atrophy and cause more problems. The Vibrams do look ridiculous, though. Plus they stink like shit.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.
