Freak shoes

Apparently some brouhaha about the claimed health benefits of these freak shoes. I certainly think they're a good indicator of mental health.

Anyway, what say you lot?

A bit shite in winter but not something I would wear.

You hit the nail on the head, no self-respecting person should give consider putting those on.


These on the other hand are wicked bro.

Since you didn't anonymize the poll, I'll admit to thinking they're a bit nifty. :o Not for myself, but younger adults, why not.

I would have thought it quite obvious that the poll was public so that we could all throw metaphorical rotten tomatoes at the self-outed mentally questionable. :)

They look like '80s breakdancey/basketball shoes. Do you get a square of lino with them?

About £100 a pair I see.

Just a couple of pairs for you then? ;)

I am surprised to find that there are shoes out there that look even more ridiculous than crocs but these manage it somehow! :eek:

If you are a barefoot running advocate I expect they are just fine. But I cant think of any excuse for non runners or for wearing them in a social situation.
