REI<\/a> [where I bought them.]<\/p>\nShoe shopping and I have a love\/hate relationship. I know I need shoes but the process of getting them is no fun so I do it as infrequently as is possible.<\/p>\n
My feet are not made like the manufacturers think all women's feet should be made and I've learned to buy men's shoes – but that only works for sandals and running shoes. When I need to get "dressed up" I am stuck with uncomfortable shoes.<\/p>\n
I tried on a pair of the fivefinfgers late last year but waited until REI had it's member's get 20% off sale to buy them. Also wasn't sure how they would manage winter.<\/p>\n
Anyway – they are comfy and not too many people think they are odd [but I do live in Portland where one motto is: Keep Portland Weird.]<\/p>\n
If you don't go barefoot a lot of the time, these may take some getting used to. But if you do yoga and have learned to separate your toes [like you did as a kid] then these will not feel odd.<\/p>\n
They are much the same a walking barefoot and you feel the gravel and rocks underfoot but they don't puncture the shoe or your foot. I'm going to wear them for a run and a bike ride this week and am tempted to wear them to the next event for which I need to get "dressed up."<\/p>\n
And for next winter I shall get a pair that are a bit heavier and also some finger socks!<\/p>\n
