Vibram Five finger footgloves

Anyone wear these?

Just bought my first pair yesterday, All i gotta say is i love them.

Im not much of a walker but oddly enough these make walking 'fun' again, even though they make your feet rather sore.

I bought the KSO version - now all i gotta do is some Injinji socks to go with them.

They may look funny - but...

actually they do look funny.

The only real problem that ive read about is that they can stink. Bad.

The problem lies in the fact that your not wearing sock to absorb the sweat like you do with shoes.

ARGH!!!!!!

there goes more of my hair. Seems every fan page or group you go on on Facebook now days there are a million and one spam links for these things.

WTF is that!?!? Do you wear them in public??

Sorry.


EDIT Ah i see, they are for running and ****, that will be why i have never seen them before.

Like I said they do look quite funny.

I suppose I would wear them in public - but I have to say it does clash with my current attire.

@Evan Dont knock it till you tried it.

Do the come in clown sizes ? I have huuuuge feet.

Im sure they have a size to accommodate you.

If you do decide to try them I suggest reading up on them first.

I have just been looking at the site. Was wondering what the toe grip and movement is, how they would fare at indoor rock climbing. Bit pricey over here though.

 

[Alf]

Im not terribly sure how they would do rock climbing indoors.

I suppose if you can do it barefoot - then you can it with them.

I'll stick to hiking boots.

The Treksport shoes work out at around £62 which is a mid market price over here. As to value it depends on how well they wear. They look dead cool

Alf you might try a drop of Tea Tree oil in each shoe every time you put them on
