Vibram Toe Shoes

[clayton86]

Anyone here wear them? I've been wanting a pair for a while now supposed to help with your running form and strengthen your feet.

Mine were hard as hell to get on I have messed up toes though. I had to get a size 9 I normally wear a 10 but they said you don't want extra room but my big toe is jammed in there and the rest well they just chilling lol. My feet have a extremely high arch and my little toes all have a high arch to them some one called them "hammer toes" when they seen em one time. They loom like a claw of a hammer I guess the way they bend idk.

Anyways how do you guys who wear em how do you like them I got two buddies that love em so when I seen them on sale for $30 I snagged a pair.

I'm wearing mine right now actually. I'm a huge fan of them. Ill wear those things any and every where. Bank fishing, hiking, lifting, basically all the time.

[Hi Salenity]

I wore a pair as boat shoes all year last year (skeletoes). I love them but this year I'm wearing flip flops or nothing ...

I'm on my 5 th or 6 th pair. Like Raider, I wear them for everything, especially running and lifting. Make sure they fit and you slowly work yourself into them or you won't like them. Take walks in them at first, then wear for a few hours a day, then some light running. They have to adequately mold to your feet.

Not Vibram, but I wear Adidas brand toe shoes. Used them all the time. Helped my knees out on long walks - big time. They've since been chewed on by one of the dogs in the house. Got a small hole in a toe. Can still wear them, occasionally do. Want to get a new pair, but have to wait.

 

Only problem, they get to stinking pretty bad. I hear wearing toe socks helps, but I never bought any. Did end up putting 'em thru the wash a few times over the last 2 years.

Washing, febreeze, odor eaters, and an deodorizing/antibacterial powder all help some. But they still tend to smell, especially if you regularly get them wet.

[Hi Salenity]

Check EBay for toesocks i got a few pairs for a few bucks.

I wore mine out to eat today then around my hotel room for a few hours. Definitely take some getting used to but so far I like them other then trying to put them on.

Been there, done ALL that, LOL. And still do it. Now all my boys (4 of 'em) have toe shoes. At this point, their Skeletoes do not stink as bad as their soccer gear.

I might have to check them out on ebay. Tried to find them locally, but it is hit or miss. Mostly miss.

I love the Vibram Fivefingers. I just bought my fifth pair this summer. I wear them for pretty much everything except for work, and I would probably wear them there too if I could find a more "business casual" looking model.

[Hi Salenity]

I think mine shipped from China

I wear mine in the yak. I have a sit-on-top with a pretty thick cushion so my legs hang over the side, and da feet are in da water. The five-fingers are one pair of shoes I don't have to worry about slipping off my feet.
