Sweet shoes...

Saw a kid in my seminar class wearing these shoes this morning:
http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/
He was also wearing a red flannel shirt with a royal blue tie, so I don't think I'll be taking fashion advice from him any time soon, but his shoes were cute at any rate.

someone came to my house wearing those i laughed. they look comfortable but i wouldn't wear em

 

i wouldnt wear them .. but each to their own!!

theyre expensive

 

I know they're weird. I freaked out when I first saw them, but if they are as comfy as they sound, I'd wear them... When the price comes down, tho...

 

he said 'they protect my feet from everything but water' and i thought why wouldn't they waterproof them? thats just dumb

 

because that would trap in moisture...


which would make them stinky

 

Yeah...
I hate when I wear my snow boots to school and forget to bring a change of sneakers... It's just unpleasant for everyone.

 

no thanks

 

FiveFingers have Vibram soles, the same type of rubber used on rock climbing shoes and mountaineering boots. They work well for rock climbing and for walking on boat decks. They protect your feet from sharps such as barnacles. They flex like bare feet and are lightweight, about 10 oz for a pair of the KSO style.

Here's a pic of the razor-siping of FiveFingers. Tiny fissures on the sole open up as the sole flexes. It adds grip, much like the prints on skin.



Zinetic Pocket Slippers are another type of minimalist footwear. Target and various web stores stock them. They're about $25 compared with about $80 for FiveFingers. They weigh 7.5 oz per pair. They don't have the individual toe pockets like the FiveFingers, but they are lighter and more flexible.

Those shoes are even uglier than crocs, and that is saying something

 

Ew crocs... I remember the croc revolution and my aunt tried to put me in a pair and as soon as I put them on, I just wanted them off. Something just felt unsavory about them on my feet...

 

Yeah crocs sucked..I remember especially hating them because my big toenails were kind of long, so they would jab the insides when i walked and lift them! It was the weirdest gross sensation yegh!

 

Crocs are sweat shoes, not sweet shoes.

haha they are kinda cool looking...but i can see matching toe length to be a bit of a problem...i have tiny feet and i could never wear toe socks, i see that being a bit of an issue

haha man that's awesome

 

I never thought of that... I have reeeeeeally long toes.

 

speaking of toe socks, do you have any idea how hard it is to find a pair that fit when you're a size 12?

 

Vibram Five Fingers - For that authentic sasquatch look.

 

Get the no-heel sports sock type.

And those shoes are really gross looking. I hate feet.

 

Hahah ew those are ugly and weird
