My feet hurt if I just shuffle around the house all day in slippers.
Every time I see someone running as I drive down the road, I notice that none of them have a pleasant expression on their faces.

People don't have very pleasant expressions during orgasm, either. Or while playing the drums. Actually, drum faces are pretty funny. But running, running is a cheap high.
And toeshoes are eugghhh.

Toe shoes ARE euuughhh, but I am very curious to try them.
I haven't really gone running since I tossed myself down the road those three odd years ago. Mainly coz it hurts.
Maybe once my hip heals from tossing myself down the trail after christmas, I will give it another shot.
That, of course, is dependent on not hurting myself in anymore motorcycle crashes, which is of dubious prospect.

One of us posted about those 5-finger shoes a while back. Was it Rock? Someone else?
I've been interested in the whole barefoot thing after reading B2R, but I need some answers b4 I spring the $100 for what many be crap.
So, Rock, or whoever, how are you Veb's treating you?
Good 4 road running or just trails / soft earth?
Did you see a time drop after you got use to them?

I heart my weird toe shoes.
Not for everyone, but proven to actually be very good for lower back alignment, and at least slightly creepy.

i've heard that a viable alternative to the vibrams are the nike freerun+

It's the "smelly guitar" look, as if they'd rubbed down their guit with some stank ass cheese or skunk juice or old carb varnish.
Works well with the "pee pee dance".

Not seen good reviews of these. Also, me no likey Nikes. All marketing, no substance...atleast on their mass production models.
