Revolver Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Are you a climber? I think that's their main use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I thought the Vibram Five Fingers was a vibrator shaped like a hand. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Are you a climber? I think that's their main use. Can be used for climbing in the same way flip-flops can, but their main use is for training for barefoot running. For most climbing purposes they're rubbish, because the rubber isn't very sticky (more hard wearing, for running), and more importantly they don't offer any support. Climbing shoes offer silly amounts of support, especially with stiff shoes like mine, so that your feet don't hurt when you stand up on your toes or stuff them into cracks.

Luke Dunstan Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 See people wearing these at the gym. If you're not used to bare foot exercise then don't buy these. Buy a pair of Nike Free Run+ to get used to the nearly barefoot feel so your feet can adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 A couple of lads ware them at work in the warehouse. And go for a run at dinner time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I just want them to wear to work, I just seem to destroy shoes really quickly and these are meant to be pretty comfy. On their website they say they can be used for pretty much any sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showurcolours Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 What would you be using them for? I've done a lot of research on these in terms of biomechanics, running speed and how ergonomic they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 My friend bought some and I tried them on. Lovely as fook. Not for climbing though, I don't care what anyone says they'd be all kinds of shit for that. the KSO's are what I tried (keep sand out) and I could have worn them all day. Only problem I found is that there's a sock on the inside thats like a glove. Your toes go inside this glove and my spazzy toes take a while to get in there... Anyway Id say do it. Can't you buy online and send them back if they're the wrong size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
