Beautiful workout shoes

Vibram FiveFingers. These shoes look amazing. I've heard good things and I think I'm gonna pick up a pair of the classics once i precisely measure my foot. Check em.

Yeah I've heard good things about them but I saw some guy wearing a pair while walking around Chicago and they look a little more goofy in person.

I don't think i'm ready for that level of barefoot training so if I were going to pick up barefoot shoes I'd probably go for Nike Free 7.0s

im a little biased against the nike frees. i purchased a 5.0 pair and the heel ripped out within 2 months...bye bye $75.

haha i doubt these look fashionable in person...i bet they feel fantastic though!

They are great, I got to use a friend's pair for climbing and fell running for a bit when he got injured.

I would consider myself a runner, and I would NOT run in these... i mean, if you are running 1-3 miles they'd probably be fine, but talk about pain for an easy 10. You could work up to it I'm sure I just don't have the interest to.

I was a little heart broken when they said "When you go barefoot, your movements become the movements of a child.." lol. I love playing barefoot.

I'd never bother picking these up. I do need a new pair of shoes though.

I would think these would suck to climb in. I've tried to climb barefoot before and it was horrible.
