Johnnymac: #vibram_fivefingers_classic The shoes do look a little silly but, personally I could care less what my feet look like as long as I'm comfortable. I bought a pair of the fivefingers a week ago. I've been wearing them around town, the yard, house, etc.. I love the outdoors and thought this would be a great shoe for hiking, bouldering, running; things the for which fivefinger is advertised to be great. Then I decided to test the shoes after wearing them for several days. I went for a 6 mile hike. This was the biggest mistake I've made in a long time. Do not wear the Vibram FiveFingers shoe hiking. My feet (both) were covered in blisters after only 3 miles. Unfortunately, I was dumb enough not to travel with some good hiking shoes in-case the fivefingers failed me, which they did! I had to hike a very painful 3 mile back to my starting point stuck in those shoes. The fivefingers are great for casual wear and probably for swimming shoes, terrible for hiking! Jun 13, 09
