I own a few pairs of Vibram Fivefingers, they're lovely. You feel so much more of the ground you're walking on, so many textures! Death to all footcoffins!

- mahmud 10y agoEvery time I see those things, I can't hold back laughter.
- cryptarch 10y agoThey're pretty funny-looking :) I think the toed socks are definitely very weird-looking, especially when they come in white, looks like a some sort of fetish gear.
- jacquesm 10y agoThe exposed toe is easy to damage, that's why it makes sense to encase all of them in a single container. They're not so much footcoffins as they are toe and sole protectors.
- cryptarch 9y agoWhat do you mean by exposed? Unless you're doing intricate climbing the chances of catching a toe on something in VFs is nill. All VFs have a bit of rubber padding on the front of the toe to prevent toe-stubbing. I've noticed a significant improvement in the coordination/sensitivity of my feet, I stub my toe a lot less often in VFs than when I wear regular shoes. My calves have also become a lot stronger, and my balance has improved as well.
- ianamartin 10y agoI have a few pairs as well. I do recognize that they are weird-looking. But they feel so good to wear. Especially in winter. I love the way it feels to walk around in the snow in those things. I don't wear them all the time, but it's fun when I do.
