I would buy a pair, where do they sell them?

At the bottom of the webpage is a link 'dealer locator'.
Ha, the closest to me is 120 km away.

Those 'sneakers' look great.

 

[Rupe]

They'll look like "hobbit" feet!!

I'll wait for the steel toe'd upgrade. My toes are important. I may need to count to twenty someday.

Looked like you could by them direct. Unfortunatly they are sold out until late sept.

Those are pretty cool looking.

I like em. My wife thinks their weird.

I curious to see if they come out with the underwear version.

I talked with Nick about them because he worked in a store that sold them. He said that they're like heavy duty Smurf gloves. Nothing more than heavy duty hospital slippers. Around 50% of them were returned. Maybe the next wersion will be tougher

If ya all are looking for comfortable shoes that feel like your wearing nothing at all you guys should check out Nike Frees' I own a pair and love them!

 

[SRTTech]

Marine Goop a pair of cotton socks!

I have a pair of nike's aqua sox I climb in sometimes. Very good feel to them, and they don't get caught in crotches.

In my marathoning days I used to run in minimal racing flats like the frees, very very comfy but stay off the concrete in em. For light pruning, light shoes are fine. Hard to see how those vibram things fit everyone's toes tho; we are very different down there.
