Saw these on the street, then while reading one of my favorite blogs, "the Magnificent Bastard", saw them again. On the website, www.vibramfivefingers.com, they are described as:
"When you go barefoot, your movements become the movements of a child—playful and sensitive, yet purposeful and confident. You experience the unbound joy of stepping, hopping, and running across any surface on earth, simply to get from here to there.I *must* have a pair of these soon.
Vibram FiveFingers® allow you to relive that sensation. Unlike conventional shoes that insulate you from your surroundings, FiveFingers footwear deepens your connection to the earth and your surroundings. FiveFingers enhance your sense of touch and feel, while improving foot strength, balance, agility, and range of motion. Because wearing Vibram FiveFingers is so close to going barefoot, you’ll enjoy the health and performance benefits of barefooting without some of the risks.
Outdoor enthusiasts have found FiveFingers to be the ideal crossover shoe for multiple sports and activities—from ChiRunning and bouldering to kayaking and windsurfing. Fitness enthusiasts use FiveFingers for core strength training, yoga and Pilates. Our customers continually discover new and creative uses for our alternative performance footwear."

Oh my gosh, these will FLY off the shelves in any store... in HOBBITON. These look gross. I would never wear them; unless they felt good.

got a friend who's had for about 7 months, says they're the most comfy shoes he's ever had!
