I'd love to give these things a shot but I can't find any link to a UK stockist & the US website only appears to ship to the US.

Look really interesting though:-

I'm feeling strangely fascinated by them! Would everyone laugh if I wore them to the pub?

You'll look like a Hobbit who's stepped in some yellow and blue paint.

They do make them in other colours. I fancy the black/grey/orange...

Strange that they don't distribute in Blacks' London outlets.

Won't they rub a bit though in between your toesies ?

And why are they called fivefingers shoes ???

Le Greg

18/05/2006 at 17:32

Yes, I wonder about the in-between-toes rubbing.

18/05/2006 at 17:53

Mmm, get some Injinji's for 'em. No rubbing then.

cougs, I bet the designer is spanish speaking. In spanish toes and fingers are the same noun and mrs I confuses me to no end with that as well.
I just can't get used to her confusing the two...
