fucking hate these things, but I do get a laugh when someone trashes them and the shitdicks come out of the woodwork to defend their ownership

I refuse to buy then due to them looking stupid and Im sure they would be out of fashion before I wore them out and I like to wear my shoes out when Im paying good money for them.

Has anybody brought them and have a serious opinion about them, just interested to hear what owners think.

I knew a guy that used them for rock climbing, said they were awesome.

Has anyone read "Born to Run"? Great book about running.

I would like to own a pair of those but my second toe is longer than my big toe, which is the kiss of death in re: to those shoes.

There is a lot of evidence that modern shoes are bad for serious runners.

Flame away, guys. I'm off for a run now.

I have the Fila knockoffs..the skeletoes...and i love them.  They're great for HIIT workouts with the bag, ropes, kettlebells, sandbags and the like.

There's not much actually.  Most of the "evidence" is conjecture and marketing.  It's a very interesting topic though.

Rock climbing they look like they make sense. Running I guess so too. But for the gym I cant see any benifit. Shoes are shoes for weight lifting aslong as they are not heels

I think they're pretty cool but I just wouldn't want the attention they bring. Strangers asking you questions about them and you having to explain yourself. Fuck that. I do think they would be pretty good to golf in.

New Balance Minimus are a superior shoe, IMO.  Great for the joints.

I think Parker has a pair of almost any shoe, so my signal would be lost in the noise.

Everyone I know that has these things claims to love them.
I used to do a lot of cardio while barefoot and I really liked it, but I can't bring myself to wear these stupid looking things.

Reckon they'd be pretty good for calf raises.

There are 3 people in my gym who are wearing these. And all three are attention whores to some extent.  They aren't total douche bags but lets just say they spend 5 to 10 minutes talking between sets.

The same thing was probably said about shoes at one point in time.
