Ordered a pair of those 5 finger shoes....

I could see these having some applications, like wading. I imagine they would be useful for rock climbing or something where it would be beneficial to have your toes free.

I wouldn't run in them if you paid me. That's asking for an ankle or foot injury.

Not really. Ankle injuries are caused by rolling on the amount of cushioning under the foot. Everything I have read says these shoes all but eliminate them.

I assume you ordered the pink ones.

Duh

I have the tiny toes and little square feet. No way would those work for me - they'd be little empty pockets.

remember the last time you picked up a pair of gimmick shoes? :p

Im sure there is a disclosure on the back that says: Except when you land on Panthro's foot.

do those shoes come with a free set of ben wa balls?

By far the gayest thing I've seen straight men wear

Wait until you see a dude wearing those and having them match his murse....

I was talking more about causing ankle injuries if you are running on uneven surfaces and foot injuries if you're running on flat hard surfaces. I did a quick google search, and I found plenty to indicate that people who run with these shoes suffer from a lot of tendon/ligament injuries and stress fractures of tarsal bones.

It's a money-making gimmick. Just like those "shape-ups", they do nothing for you but provide you with peace of mind and the chance at an injury.

I ran in them yesterday and liked them. Especially sprinting, felt a little like track spikes from my high school days. Very comfortable. Can't wait to try wade fishing in them, will beat soggy tennis shoes.

Those could possibly be the ugliest shoes ever. Even uglier than those Lady Gaga claw foot shoes. But they probably feel phenomenal.
