Has anyone out there heard of these? I think they're a great idea. I'd love to have a pair. The only time I've read about them is people complaining about how weird and unnecessary the design is.

What do you think? Are they for weirdos? Just for sports? Are you wondering if they come in pink? (They do!) Let me know in the comments.

Truly, they are only for HARDCORE runners. Casual runners won't get any benefit from using them. And although they supposedly help you run more naturally, they aren't good for your back or your arch support in your feet, which makes it easier to get ankle injuries.
I used to run marathons and I've done my research. :)
My awesome friend Jay (you know Jay) has those and LOVES them!! He'll never do anything but "barefoot" running again. You should talk to him about it if you're interested.
I keep seeing them around. Just the thought of having all that fabric between my toes makes me walk funny!
Personally, I think the company that makes these shoes are a little discriminatory. What about those four-toed people like me? Am I supposed to stuff toilet paper in one of the toes?
Thanks for making me feel less than adequate because I can't fill out each toe of your stupid shoes! Yet another reason running isn't for me! :)
