My husband wears Five fingers to run in and has done for probably over 15 years. Absolutely swears by them. When he first started wearing them he wore them without socks and they absolutely STANK. He now wears them with Five Finger socks and they are fine. They look really weird though and make me cringe when he wears them at the Parkrun because people look! 😂

I wear bearfoot shoes almost all the time. If I wasn't so paranoid about people looking I'd wear these.

So the toes are covered in socks as well - I feel claustrophobic just thinking about this! 😂

I wore Nike Rifts when I was younger, loved them.

Margiela has always done that toe thing.

Yes they are! 😬
And me too, never got on board with the 5 finger socks when they were fashionable in the 80's. Separated toes in separated socks in separated shoes makes me shudder! 😂He loves them, he's weird!

Why are they called five finger and not five toes 😩😩😩😩😩😩

I'm also a barefoot shoe wearer and fivefingers are top tier. I thought they looked like weird ninja shoes when I first saw them many years ago but they're just another pair of shoes now.

Many other languages call toes feet fingers/fingers of the feet

Very true, but I beg for a better translation!

I'd never get my short little chipolatas in there.

I have several pairs. They're great.
