Five Finger Shoes?
I first noticed these things on a guy at the gym on Monday because he was doing handstand pushups WITHOUT A WALL. I was extremely impressed and then I noticed his choice of shoewear. It looked like he was just at the pool and forgot to change shoes. But they weren't like ones I had seen before because these shoes had individual toes cut out. Like toe socks. I was concerned that it was not proper footwear and the gentleman might hurt himself.
Then today I read a friend's blog and he just got a pair of these five finger shoes. Apparently it is the new hotness in fitness gear, designed to enhance performance, stimulate muscles and allow you to participate in outdoor sports "barefoot".
Does anyone have a pair? Thoughts?

My husband and I just ordered these! I'll let you know how they are once I test them out...

OMG! Thx for the tip. I've just ordered ten pairs for rigorous testing in our labs.

I saw someone running on the Bridal Path in Central Park with these...they're supposed to be much better for your feet but they still look weird. I'll have to get over that.
