We had a BBQ today and one of our pals had some shoes which totally kicked ass!
I’m totally jealous and must get me some of these bad-ass shoes asap!!!
Gives a whole new angle to the phrase, “Don’t make me stick my foot up yo’ ass!”
That said, I still wouldn’t buy 'em.

I was just talking to a guy in my teacher training about these, they are supposed to really help you use your whole foot when running and therefore better work your lower leg muscles. That said, I can’t use them as two of my toes on each foot are webbed.

You’re becoming a teacher? are you in the states? what grade do you want to teach? I still have a lot of my lesson plans and assignments if you need any help PM me and I’ll see if I can help you out? are you in the states? If so why would you want to be a teacher considering the horrible condition public schools are in?
I should be finishing up my BTSA this year! I shoulda’ only had to do one year of BTSA cause I’d already been teaching for 5 years but my corrupt district signed me up for two, then bounced me outta the district after the first year of it. corrupt fucking assholes!

Doesn’t look like you can wear socks with them so that means they end up stinking. Stink isn’t cool.
That’s what I thought too…BUT…you can indeed buy five toed socks too.
They’re so friggin horrible looking I definately want some! hahaha…also green death is 100% correct…

Because wearing Vibram FiveFingers is so close to going barefoot, you’ll enjoy the health and performance benefits of barefooting without some of the risks.
Outdoor enthusiasts have found FiveFingers to be the ideal crossover shoe for multiple sports and activities—from ChiRunning and bouldering to kayaking and windsurfing. Fitness enthusiasts use FiveFingers for core strength training, yoga and Pilates. Our customers continually discover new and creative uses for our alternative performance footwear."
Women and cross dressers shouldn’t wear high heels, either.
I would totally wear those runners.

Whoops, sorry should have been more explicit, it’s a yoga teacher training I was talking about. I lead yoga teacher trainings it was a co-lead and a student who had the rad shoes.
Thanks for your kind offer of help though sir smrf!!
Those shoes are hideous.
Well, I spent 3 minutes seeing what these shoes are all about. Apparently, there are some people who think running barefoot is where it’s at. They claim it reduces injury and maybe other stuff. I didn’t care enough to figure that all out. These shoes are meant to protect the bottoms of barefoot runners feet.
In my opinion, that is retarded.
No way dude, those Kenyan marathon runners run barefoot and they finish their 26 mile races in like twenty minutes! There is apparently real science behind barefoot running.
