Those things equal broken toes and bad feet for a lot of adults. My feet hurt like shit right now. I'm looking for good running shoes, but those things aren't happening.

Got a pair of Reebok Real Flexes after Nike Free Runs. Best runners so far.

New Balance trail runners. I destroy a pair of running shoes in 3 months, buying expensive shoes just wastes money.

Guys look like morons wearing those toe shoes.

I did a warrior dash last weekend and must have seen 3 or 4 people that were wearing them and they ended up getting ripped to shreds.

how long do these pieces of shit last once you re wearing them? 2 months?

hench · « **Reply #9 on:** August 16, 2012, 09:03:55 AM »

saw someone wearing them in the supermarket the other day. Freaky looking things as if mens feet arent bad enough they wanna highlight them with toe gloves, weird.

That is a good question, on the Vibrams, I've seen a lot of reports of the soles lasting great, but the seams and attachment points wearing out very quickly.

Personally, for a light shoe, I just go with the old thin soles Asics Tigers 66 -

Gayer than wondering how far you could stick a peeled banana down your throat, and then doing it

ITT: insecure men discussing shoe fashion like a bunch of middle-aged women cackling about a dress their co-worker wore

i wonder if there's a legit science behind shoes like this or just pure fucking gimmick ?

G_Thang · « **Reply #14 on:** August 16, 2012, 06:56:23 PM »

if your size is 13-15, i wouldn't be walking around the california woods with them. that's all you need is some publicity seekig hunter on your trail, thinking your a sasquatch.

Somebody who would wear those needs a swift vicious headbutt.

Shoes for attention whores only.

TrueGrit · « **Reply #16 on:** August 16, 2012, 07:03:40 PM »

Pretty soon people will just be buying shoe boxes with no shoes in them at all.

Marty Champions · « **Reply #17 on:** August 16, 2012, 07:28:08 PM »

i used to work in shoes but would eat up a pair in a few weeks or months. I only wear timberland boots for work ive had the same pair for a few years now, i would play b-ball or even run in them because they dont get destructed like shoes

tommywishbone · « **Reply #18 on:** August 16, 2012, 07:38:23 PM »

If you weigh more than 200 pounds wear some decent supportive shoes. In a few years you'll receive a thank you note from your feet.

Marty Champions · « **Reply #19 on:** August 16, 2012, 07:41:30 PM »

just wear boots with some rags packed in it or newspapers your shoes will never break when running

chaos · « **Reply #20 on:** August 16, 2012, 07:48:53 PM »

I thought I read somewhere that shoes like this were made for rock climbing and that people started thinking they were fashionable. So I think there is a legit use for them, running would not be one of them.

do you put shoes on inside your house b/c it's gimmicky to be walk barefoot in your own home?

Papper · « **Reply #22 on:** August 17, 2012, 02:45:28 AM »

Lot of guys wear this in my gym. It seems to go hand in hand with TRX, personal training and having too much money to know what to buy. I would rather wear a sparkly thong than wear those homo toe shoes.

i think they look terrible, not this one per say, but all these "finger shoes" look hideous... whatever the fuck happened to men being men? why cant people wear normal shoes?

lol, the irony. The guys who wear those shoes don't give a crap what people think. They care about function over looks. You, on the other hand, seem to care an awful lot about shoe fashion and what the world thinks. If you want to know what happened to men being men, then look no further than yourself
