Not sure what all the fuss is about. These shoes are the foot equivalent of gloves.

I think they're quite fun! Unfortunately with my knobbly knees and spindly white legs, I'd look like an ostrich!

I hear they are good for barefoot running style, although not ideal for going to the shops in

The manufacturer has has offered refunds to anyone who bought them as their claims re running have no scientific basis. Or something like that. Lawsuits etc

I have seen people wearing them in the gym, they are meant to be better for running. I wouldn't wear them though, apart from looking downright bizarre I think they would knacker my ankles and knees even more than they are at the moment.

Each to their own :D

Don't see what the big deal is as they are actually quite comfortable. Use in lieu of flip-flops.

The reason these things are weird is exactly because they are the foot equivalent of gloves. :nod:

I saw someone wearing a pair a couple of months ago, and I was expecting him to pull a banana out of his backpack and eat it holding it with his foot. :unsure:

Its not a problem at all. In fact, it's great, blokes should wear them as it'll leave all the spare crumpet for us. :thumbup:

I saw a meme the other day that said "Do you know what the holes in Crocs are for? - they are for your dignity to leak out".
