Five Fingered Shoes - Eww

I'm not even sure where to start here... I mean, really? I was first introduced to these monstrosities in Santa Cruz, California (for those unfamiliar, SC is a Northern California hippie beach town,) which lead me to believe that only dread-locked, non-deodorant wearing, ganja smoking beach bums were the only consumers. Until I started to see them pop up in Manhattan.

First it was the girl in the yogurt shop (who wore skinny jeans and a floral tank top with them), then the guy walking up Park Avenue who paired them with a lavender Lacoste polo, and then the woman who only exposed the tip of her fingered eyesores because they were being worn under an adorable maxi dress (what a complete waste of a perfectly lovely dress. That woman needs counseling, STAT). The last straw came when I was on the stair climber (yes, the stair climber, I'm old school). I couldn't take my eyes off the sprinting man in front of me, not because his contracting muscles were blinding me, but because his neon orange toe shoes were creating what looked like a blurry, floating orb. I couldn't take my eyes off of them, it's bad enough that these actually went through the entire design process and into production, but now they are personally haunting me.

If there are any filthy rich individuals out there who want to donate to my "shut down the five fingered shoe company" fund, please respond immediately (my sanity is on the line here.)

  2. Last time I checked, "little" and "surface tolerant" doesn't describe fashionable. But hey, opinions are like assholes, everybody has one!

  3. You're fucking stupid. Obviously you don't know the benefits of it. "Design process"? HAHA idiot, so you must also say the human foot didn't pass the design process either. You obviously don't understand that it's what they're trying to imitate. You also obviously have never heard of minimalist athletic footwear and aren't educated at all upon the subject of natural running.
    And you just look stupid saying "five fingered shoe company", you obviously haven't put two minutes into knowing what these are at all. First of all they're not "five fingered shoes", they're called "Vibram(being the manufacturer) Five Fingers". If anything, call them the "Five Toed shoe company, or if you don't want to be an idiot like you usually are, you can actually call them by their name of Vibram.
