on your #1 comment. That was my thinking the whole way to the register at REI.

#2 in the winter I will have no choice but to go back to sucky shoes. And really after walking around in close to bear feet, regular shoes are indeed SUCKY!

# if i can find a pair under 100$ then its a done deal, the AQUA and EVO look alright.

thanks again!

I feel your pain. In fact,<br>on rainy days when I have to wear normal shoes, I notice she usually<br>responds more affectionately to me. It's an unfortunate reality. So you have<br>a few choices:<br><br>1. Wear them all the time and hold out for a girl who respects your choice<br>in footwear. I get asked all the time where I bought them by people who<br>think they look cool. In other words, there ARE some people, at least in<br>Texas, who like the unique look.<br><br>2. Give up and go back to sucky normal shoes. This will help you get girls<br>despite your lack of self-respect. (slight exaggeration)<br><br>3. Try a compromise. Try some Terra Plana shoes that utilize the same<br>barefoot principle but house it in a somewhat normal looking shoe. My wife<br>says they're still uglier than normal shoes, but she prefers them to<br>Fivefingers. I agree that I don't have a single outfit that looks good with<br>my Fivefingers. But that's life. That's the price I pay to have feet that<br>don't hurt. <br><br>It's really your call. My wife hates the way my Fivefingers look, Kalin. I feel your pain. In fact,
on rainy days when I have to wear normal shoes, I notice she usually
responds more affectionately to me. It's an unfortunate reality. So you have
a few choices:

1. Wear them all the time and hold out for a girl who respects your choice
in footwear. I get asked all the time where I bought them by people who
think they look cool. In other words, there ARE some people, at least in
Texas, who like the unique look.

2. Give up and go back to sucky normal shoes. This will help you get girls
despite your lack of self-respect. (slight exaggeration)

3. Try a compromise. Try some Terra Plana shoes that utilize the same
barefoot principle but house it in a somewhat normal looking shoe. My wife
says they're still uglier than normal shoes, but she prefers them to
Fivefingers. I agree that I don't have a single outfit that looks good with
my Fivefingers. But that's life. That's the price I pay to have feet that
don't hurt.

It's really your call.

Would you rather get the benefiets of the footwear or look socially correct, because as much as I hate the idea of fitting in with social boundries I can see where being a single man on the EAST COAST i would look like a hippie douchbag even though Im not.

the down shot?

I dont see a point in owning these if your not going to wear them all the time. It makes no sence to me to wear these just playing in the outdoors i feel that wearing them 24/7 instead of shoes is where you reap the real benefiets.

Anyone agree disagree?
