Vibram FiveFinger shoes...Anyone ever try these?

[mold]

Seems like there would be more nasty crud growing in these sweat soaked things than in a whore's puss.

I would want to wash them daily, especially if used for working out.
Would they hold up to that?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
he said whore's puss

I'll bet you don't find me wearing much more on the feet than those. LOL

Do you know, how I know your gay?

Hey Scott,

I dare you to post a picture of you wearing your new shoes with a NMFH on!

 

[Scott]

Better yet...I wanna see a pic of the Looter wearing them.

 

[winter brew]

great.....I can envision the new KLIM boots .

 

[Scott]

HAHAHA. That would be awful.

I think what makes these shoes work is their Vibram sole. The thin sole is really cool and the footbed is almost like a chamois.

It's not the five toes that make it function well. Those just make then unique.

 

[winter brew]

It makes them gay

 

[Mafesto]

Do they make them with 6 toes for those whose parents are siblings?

 

[m8magicandmystery]

but Scott.....your feet are webbed

I was watching a eposiode of Married with children last night it was called God's Shoe's. When Al falls and has a vision of God's shoes that's what they looked like. I was laughing my a$$ off when I seen this

I think they would be less sweaty then having socks on, and then some fabric over them again.

I haven't worn them, but know many Marines and Sailors who do. I get beat on a weekly basis in 10k's by a Coastie who wears them (last week was 36 mins for him, 45 for me).

From the people I know who wear them:

They take a while to get used to. You aren't going to go out and run 5 miles the first week. Your feet WILL fatigue faster at first. As you learn to run in them, your feet will adapt. I know one guy who does half-marathons in them, but not full marathons. Says he can't get his feet to stay healthy in them past about 15 miles.

They make you run on your toes more, like you're supposed to. It takes different muscles to run in them than with regular shoes. Supposed to be less problems with stress fractures, but who knows...

They are the "updated" way to barefoot-run. I've never tried it except on a treadmill and my feet/legs were DEAD after 1/2 mile. I need good running shoes with arch support or it kills my shins (not shin-splints...stress fractures in the bones)...hence I haven't tried the 5 Fingers. Maybe they'd make me run different and it'd be ok...can't really risk it though as if I go med-down, who knows what they'll do to me.

I have heard the same thing, with great results. The better running posture is supposed to help people with bad backs and knees too.
