They'd probably cut it in my workplace though, but I haven't mustered up the $225 for a pair yet. I love the glove aspect of the Vibrams...I find it very comfortable. I wear flip flops more than anything when it's warm though. I concur on the Masai shoes...that just seems very gimmicky and odd. Cheers Scott Pete,

Haven't found any good 'formal' minimal shoes, despite a search of 1 year +. For less formal occasions and running, barefoot is the best. As for shoes: I like socks, or neoprene socks, or leather socks. Watershoes are good as well, plus they are cheap. The FiveFingers are great, very good fit and grip, but I just don't like the cloth between my toes. I also like the Vivobarefoots, not for running and not for work (as said) but when I'm at home etc. A very nice shoe. Of course, in the summer flipflops are nice too. I would not recommend the Massai Bare Foots. Imho these have NOTHING to do with walking barefoot. The shoes are expensive, have a very thick sole, are heavy and impose a funny way of walking. The opposite of what I look for in a minimal shoe....... The Vivobarefoots are great shoes, i just don’t find them formal enough for work in the office.

Anyway, I'm behind in getting to this, but this is something I've had a LOT of experience with (7,000 miles worth) and I've put up a post about it. Hopefully, it adds a bit to your wonderful compilation. http://www.honestylog.com/root/2008/06/learning-to-walk.html Thanks so much for all the effort you put into this jewel of a blog. Scott:

We've been running in them and it's the first time I'm painfree running ever. And we just went hiking in them and it was amazing. It's so much fun to really feel the surfaces you're walking on.

Alex, are you talking about those Masai Barefoots? I haven't tried them, nor heard of them until this article. They look just a tad goofy (says the guy about to go to the farmer's market in Five Fingers).

Darn you for making me want to spend more money ;) Has anyone (or you Scott) tried the MBT's or whatever they are that look like nurse shoes on 'roids? A friend of mine has then and says they are good/okay gait wise but give her blisters. They also are a tad expensive. I have knee issues and will be trying something – not sure which ones yet.

I have been having problems with my hips and Achilles tendons as of late...I don't notice it when doing the elliptical, just when I do my weekly long walk on pavement. I thought it was my shoes, and now I think it is the shoe-gait combo since it doesn't happen when I do very low-impact work. The price is worth it, especially if they last longer than my running shoes. Though I imagine I am going to get some funny looks at the gym ;-) Thank you SO much for bringing the five fingers to my attention, I am heading to REI this weekend to pick some up.

I live in Deep South Texas, and I'll be standing outside on the concrete in 100F weather, getting really funny looks from people. I blame it on my Ozark roots. The only bad part is the stick-tites, but gardening our backyard has gotten rid of most of them. I'm certain I'm going to step on a snake or scorpion one of these days. I can't keep shoes on my sons either - even at the playground, where it's all rocks around the equipment, they both kick off their shoes and run around. Ah, well.
