    I'm curious to know how everyone likes them! I want them badly, but I'm afraid with the chunky feet I'm sporting I'll just look like a monkey....

    I might be the very small minority that does not think they are ugly. All 4 pair I have I think are awesome :D

    I have been using them to run (you can see them in my pics under my profile).. They are amazing. I will never use any other pair of shoes to workout in.. If anyone is thinking of using them, just be aware you must get used to them.. you have literally worn a cast on your feet by wearing regular shoes.. you will work out a ton of muscles in your foot/legs you have never worked out before.. you may get very sore when initially using them.

    I would wear them for running but I would not wear them with dress slacks and believe me I have seen someone do it lol

    Question!!!
    I usually workout barefoot(kickboxing, tae bo etc...) because shoes really hurt my feet. I'm a total beach bum and am barefoot most of the time. You think the transition would be easier, because that is one of the things holding me back from trying them. I'm not into pain. much. haha

    I have two friends like you, barefoot almost all the time anyway. They both transitioned much faster than I did.
