I am a barefoot sort of guy. In general I hate having shoes on my feet.
I go barefoot at work, When I go camping my shoes come off fairly quickly. I love to drive barefoot etc.
The only thing that holds me back is how sharp and rough the surface is and the pain associated with it.

Has anyone seen these Vibram Five Finger shoes. Are they more of just a gimick or very functional?

i've heard some decent things about them, and have secretly wanted to try them out, but i can't justify the money spent on shoes that won't be worn very often.

Not to be politically incorrect here... but they kinda look like driving gloves for an amputee.

That and they kinda creep me out.

The toe strap on my Teva's lines up pretty well with the shift lever.  Might be awkward trying to shift barefoot.  ;D
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Does anyone find it odd that they're using the word 'fingers' for a product for your feet?

Flat out, those are *creepy*.
