those things you put on on your hands and fingers are called gloves not shoes

okay i guess those shoes arent that bad if you are running or doing something like that, but kids just look like idiots when they were them to school and everywhere.

I think you mean a pair of 5 toed shoes because I'm pretty sure that those things on our feet are called toes and not fingers.

Lane ass nerd shoes when you wear them to not exercise in. When you exercise on them you still look fucking weird. I'm glad you're happy with them though

Theyre made for barefoot running, so they are basically a glove for your foot so that you can run like you're barefoot without fucking up your feet on rocks, glass, ect. I have a pair and they are great...unfortunately I have a messed up ingrown tonail so it hurts like a bitch to wear them right now. Very comfortable and light under normal circumstances though.

u obviously do not know the "proper" technique to running, heel cushioning on shoes make u run "heel to toe" which is the wrong way to run, humans were ment to run on the balls of their feet which is what the five finger shoes make u do, its basically like running bare foot, but without fucking up ur feet....get learneddddd......more heel cushioning makes u run in a more unnatural form, thus leading u to become a worse runner..

yeah i dont rock em but know people that do. Shits sick if youre at a lake and fuckin with water sports. These shoes make you use muscles that you never knew you had and if you get bitches it dont matter how whack you look when usin em

I wanted to +k you for this but you're already 10/10
Oh yeah!



But seriously with those shoes what are they good for? Like are they good for climbing or are they just for being like barefoot without risking hepatitis?

^ U can do anything in them but I use them as watershoes. Water sports and for rocky beaches/rivers because they have great grip. Climbing would be fun with them too
