Anyone know what the difference between the amps and the voltage is? I can't find it anywhere.

I ran 12km in them and for once no sore feet i have tried many different shoes on the market, And can honestly say that the skeletoes are amazing i bought 2 pairs, both the skeletoes amp and the voltage. All in all i would say that you should not diss them before trying them.

I love mine..until you run more than 3miles on it..your big toe start sliding and too much arch support that it makes you supinate..I got mine from Kohls and it's called the Fila Leap. my other shoes don't make me supinate..only the fila leap. and I only ran with them for like 5-6 days total

I like the streamlined look in the picture on the grass. But correct me if I am wrong...don't most people have 5 toes? Is there an interior separation of the "ring" toe and the pinky toe?

Voltage is my first pair of toe shoes, and I love them. I'd been wanting to try VFFs but there were 2 major factors against them:
1. Money. I didn't want to spend a lot of cash on something I wasn't sure I'd like.
2. My job requires me to go into some places, like mechanical rooms, where I would feel very uncomfortable with a thin sole. I don't need steel-toed shoes for what I do but I do need something with a decent sole thickness in case I accidentally step on something.
The Voltage gives me the sole thickness I need while allowing me to try out this toe shoe thing. They're the most comfortable shoes I own. I can walk for hours in them with no soreness and they're the only shoes that don't aggravate a minor foot injury that's been annoying me for months now. I really like the aesthetics too.
I think they're a great shoe for someone transitioning to a more minimalist shoe or for someone who needs a thicker sole for whatever reason. I can't comment on running since I don't, but I know they're wonderful for walking.
Because of my good experience with these shoes, I'll probably buy a more minimalist shoe for when I'm not at work. For work, I'll keep wearing my Voltages whenever I'm not required to wear steel toes.

--For starters I'm VERY green to the minimalist shoe movement--
I tried these on at a Dick's Sporting Goods this past weekend, and I actually like them a lot. They felt pretty comfortable to walk around in and also seemed like they would breathe pretty well. I did notice, what I would call, a large bubble in the arch area, it threw me off a bit (mildly irritating) because it felt so prominent. I do plan to pick up a pair of Vibram KSOs in the very near future, but for my first toe-shoe purchase, I think these would be great for walking in :)

I've worn through five pairs of vibrams. I experimented by gluing old shoe soles to worn-out vibrams to give me some protection from rocks during night runs. I might try the four-toes shoes but would wait for cheap chinese knockoffs to become available before investing in brand names. I'm guessing four-toes would lead to blisters from #4 and #5 rubbing which is why I'd want to try knockoffs first.

I bought a pair of these at the Finish Line at our local mall a couple of days ago. Yeah, they're on sale.

I used to do a lot of distance running, but screwed up some disks in my back and neck, so I had to stop. One of my friends told me he'd tried this barefoot gig and he was able to return to running, which got my interest since I haven't been able to get the intensity of exercise I need since I quit.

I tried the forefoot strike with a pair of NB trainers I have, and it was hard to do because they aren't designed for that, so I grabbed these thinking that they'd do for a kind of transition to less obnoxiously heavy running shoes, and the lower impact forefoot strike.

Wore them last night just walking around, and they are VERY comfortable for that, at least, so I'll be keeping them and trying out running and hiking later on this week. I think.

I have been walking, running and working out in fivefingers and zemgear for over 1 year now and dont have other shoes. I do a lot och parkour and non of the fivefingers and zemgear are good for that. I found the Fila voltage in my city and tried them on and it was a mixed feeling. But i think i will get a pair for just parkour. In parkour i need a little thicker sole.
But all the other time is always fivefinger 24/7
