@theironsnail: Robert’s skin shoes are returning.

Johannes1349 :

I got that model, and a pair that's got a bit thicker upper. It feels weirdly comfy, but they are indeed ugly as all hells

bobusmobus :

i switched to barefoot shoes earlier this year and its awesome, go on hikes with them as well. but i think if i was running on asphalt i would want some cushion

eoin :

the prototype is actual nightmare fuel

reilly :

the vibe of this is perfect

user3233550219742 :

You don’t need toe shoes. But wear Crocs for a month and you’ll find Nike makes a toe box for medieval Chinese girls. The industry as a whole really just needs to make a wider toe area that your foot can fully flatten into.

Bentroducing :

Ok but like deer run in the woods on their toenails.

mrw :

Maybe it is the running that do the hurting

Amanda :

Me, running in five fingers on a trail: wow I’m a NINJA!!! Also me: stubs my toe on a root and nearly dies from toe ouchie.

wunk :

vibram might have to give you some kickback bc I want a pair now

Warren :

I had a pair of these. they really gave you that barefoot feel. so much that the first time I walked into a public restroom I had to think about it. they also stank.

TreasureTroveCrafts :

podiatrist told me; wide toe box, stiff sole. I bought them and my feet have been much happier since, I'm on my feet at least 9 hours a day on cement floors. I get at least 20k steps a day.

cog.sprocket :

watching this feels like a blues clues episode

janellewhitelocke :

That is so messed up. I discovered vibrums on my journey to heal my bunions from years of wearing heels, and they changed my life. I ultimately learned out to recall, and fixed a hip problem I was having. I learned about fascia and how muscles and tendons were connected throughout my entire body. I fixed drainage networks, stretching habits, and thr way I worked out. The shoes were just one step along the way, but changing how I stood on my feet and straightening my toes changed my entire life. Vibram's layers must have been terrible. Your feet are the base of everything. Your body is so incredibly interconnected. Everyone should work ont heir foundation. It's a life changing experience in health and wellness

Dr Louis Korczowski - AI & ads :

I switched because I keep twisting my ankle. 1 year and 2000km later, I can tell you that Fivefinger and panta are amazing. Just start slow to avoid fatigue injury. It’s way harder on your muscles and tendons but you’ll adapt for life.

JW :

Didn’t the US military ban these hideous toe finger shoes?

Jean-Luc Maire :

I really like the way you say my name

Tom Marsh :

They didn’t make me live running, but they did mean that I completed a c25k at 270lbs without needing new knees after

Plamen Ivanov :

Seeing the form of most runners on trails and park runs I'd bever buy into the barefoot solves all problems. People run with horrific form for years and complain about chronic injury, but do fuck all to get efficient. Not to mention setting foot in a gym and weight training.

Mattman :

I'm gonna try my Nike minimalist pair again and slowly build up tolerance. Medium cush is useless, crocs are useless cause pain in 5 min, max Cush felt great for 10min than wow horrible. I need Birkenstock footbed but somehow in a high end Brooks or Nike. My lifelong footpain has not much help ever

dodgedakota :

My problem with Hokas is that the fucking sole rubber delaminates. They’re cheaply built.

NarcolepticFlyingFish :

I got out of the Army in 2003, and had extreme foot, ankle, and knee pain. Cushiony shoes and inserts weren't helping. So, while trying out different shoes, I snagged some quality bech shoes...water shoes...slippers....whatever. My knee pain dropped immediately. My amkle and foot pain decreased the more I wore these barely there shoes. In 2008, got my first Vibrams. They were far sturdier than any other barely there shoe I'd come across. It's 2026, now, and more than 20 years since I switched to barefoot style shoes, and more than 20 years of aging....Yet, my feet, ankles, and knees are in far better shape than when I was 23. FiveFingers work, if you use them right. It's a shame companies like Nike get away with spouting anything they want about their shoes, but Vibram had to suffer....kind of....They do make shoe soles for pretty much everyone.

Maybe_Vee :

I was LOCKED IN for the duration. Very interesting!!!

Squirrel_hugger :

I'd wear a pair of skin shoes over those tacky Hoka
