I'm still a little shy wearing them out going to class or doing other non-workout type stuff.  But I wear them to my school's rec center (when I'm not lifting weights).  I'm getting better about wearing them out in public more though.  I just do try to make them a little less noticeable though.

How do you make VFFs less noticable? Wink

I find wearing wide pants helps, as does adopting an attitude of "there's nothing unusual on my feet."  We'll see if the attitude works when it gets warmer and I start wearing my Sprints with skirts and shorts.

I just simply don't care what other people think about the way I look.  It really makes my gf angry at times because of some of the attire I wear.  She thinks it reflects poorly on her.  Hopefully one of these days that will not be a concern on her part.  I go for comfort over fashion.

I could easily be the next guest on "What Not To Wear."  I would feel sorry for the host because there is no way they would ever convince me to wear foot coffins.

I actually find VFFs aesthetically pleasing because you can see the functionality of them just by looking at them. Functionality gives rise to form when done properly.

I always imagine having loud arguments with Stacy London about how "comfortable" those awful pointy-toed shoes are.  Wink

I have always wondered how painful it would be to wear those.  I doubt they are in my size and I am not feeling all that excited about that scientific study.

Her claim is that your feet don't go into the pointy part, but I consider that a load of ----, personally.  Heels plus pointy toes seems like a guarantee that between gravity and the motion of walking, you'd end up with your toes all wedged together at the end of the day.  I also have a friend who owns some, and she complains that her feet aren't able to fit fully on stairs because of the point!

Awesome!!  Our first time was going home from the store. We (my son and I) wore them out of the store. I was more than happy to wear them. The hiking boots I was wearing were killing my feet and the five fingers were very comfortable. We went to IHOP for supper then we wore them to Old Navy and back to the mall to finish our shopping. We walked around the mall for a couple hours then it was time to go home 3 hour drive). We did not wear them to church on Sunday.  Quinn (my son) decided he wanted to wear his five fingers to school.  When he came home he had a huge smile on his face. Everyone loved his shoes they told him all day that they were neat. One teacher pulled him out of class to show her daughter. Vibram might want to make smaller sizes. That night we wore them to our cub scout pack meeting. Many noticed our five fingers. They asked questions about them. Many wanted to know where I got them and thought they were neat. I joked that the five fingers are the closest thing to spray on shoes (an invention in the movie, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs).  My wife when we first bought the shoes was concerned that people would make fun of us. Now she wants a pair. We will be wearing them to our boy scout meeting tonite. The moral is be secure in yourself and just wear them.   Grin Cool Cheesy
