Had my Bikilas a couple of days now - GF a bit freaked out by the amount of attention they are getting - probably about 5 obvious observations without direct comments to me.  Funniest direct one was from a guy waking in a mall "love your shoes man" he shouted, when I turned around I noticed he had Bikilas on - laughed his head off when I asked him whether his shoes were comfortable. About 10 mins later a guy working in a shop exclaims that he loves his VFFs but is not allowed to wear them at work

Sadly,nothing.(I'm recovering from tearing my big toenail,which I'll have to have removed on Friday.)

What this all means is,I'll have to suffer all week without wearing my FiveFingers.Bah humbug.

schedules? I have never seen the show.

the Amirican version is Sundays at 8pm on G4 TV or Mondays at 8 on NBC.  The original re-runs most afternoons on G4 TV

schedules? I have never seen the show.

I spent 3 years in Iraq as a civilian contractor doing IT support for both the Civilian Police Training mission and for the Dyncorp Protective Services Detail (PSD) guys.  In 2008, I wore my classics to the gym and pretty much all the cops and PSD laughed at me, then a few actually asked why I wore them, in about a month there were 4 of us sporting VFFs, within a year it seemed that almost 1/2 the PSD guys had converted and 5 or 6 of the cops.  I also have had to send 4 pairs to the in-laws in Thailand who liked mine so much they wanted a pair for themselves 

So I am a big fan of the original 'Ninja Warrior' (a Japanese show featuring a pretty wicked obstacle course) so I am checking out the American version on NBC this evening and it seems like a lot of the competitors are in VFFs. 

Late reply but I'd saw the episode you are talking about again. It's too hard to tell really they could just be some type of water shoes.

Welcome! I'm new myself and also addicted... love these shoes!

 

I also ended up buying a pair of Sprints a size bigger when CitySports had them for $25.  The heel looks huge, but they fit SO much better.  I'm giving the smaller pair to my sister who has slightly smaller feet than me.

Wow your toes are too perfect for modern society feet...  

My toes are pretty much the same way except my last toe lightly touches the 4th one when I don't wear VFFs and the first toe curves in a bit.

I wear Vivobarefoot Ra, Merrell Tough Gloves, KSOs, and Bormios. Only the VFFs have the proper toe spacing.

Both the Vivobarefoot Ra and Tough gloves make my 1st and pinkytoe go inwards (with the Merrells doing it more). I had my Tough Gloves widened at the cobbler too.

The Merrell Trail Gloves come in wide width but others on this forum said that it only adds 0.125" width, putting it at about 1E width.

I tried the Minimus Zero in 4E width an I noticed the same issue. The big toe is still tilted a little bit inwards and there's extra space in front of the big toe where the 2nd toe is (which may result in dragging the toe bumper thing). However, my pinky toe is allowed space, but not enough to splay.
