The manufacturers of Five Fingers shoes claim their footwear "connects you to the Earth and your surroundings in a way that is simply not possible in conventional shoes."
Retail price: $80
The only concern is my OCD. You see, I can't even wear gloves because I can't do my OCD finger motions and I feel like I'm going to FREAK. I have to wear mittens. Maybe these would make my toes feel all claustrophobic and whatnot.
Or maybe I shouldn't wear them purely because they're ugly and I'd look like a mutant.

Oh how I hate the vibram five fingers, to me they are crocs with toes and I can think of nothing worse. That being said, I have a friend who swears by them, he has 3 pairs and runs marathons and hikes mountains in them so there you go.
What if my pinky toe is a stub of a triangle? Those would never work for me.
I think they're kind of cute. But I'm with you -- I can't stand socks with toes, I'd prefer never to wear shoes EVER, and I think these would make me insane. Just the thought of something between my toes makes me kind of jumpy.
Plus I also have the mutant baby toe, which wouldn't fit in the baby toe slot, leaving a weird flapping toe sleeve. Ew.
Oh I totally want those. I found out about them when reading how running barefoot might actually be better for your legs, I have been obsessed with them ever since then.
Also, Flapping Toe Sleeve is totally the name of my next band.
W.P., consider my husband B. and I groupies. He just IM'd me to tell me to check out your band name, calling it 'heeeelarious'!
:-)
Oh my goodness, I would never wear those. I hate things between my toes and those are just NUTS.
Is it bad that they actually gross me out a bit?
I do love that you found these, AWESOME.
I totally saw a dude wearing these at the park. I did a double take...and gave him "the look"
