I've seen one guy wearing them, but it was in my office and there aren't many thorns there. He did say they were pretty comfortable.

Great kayaking shoes, but pricey for what you get. Allow tall paddlers to still wear footwear in small freestyle kayaks. They grip really well too!

I think they would make nice warm water wading shoes for fishing.

I have tried them on and unless you have the foot shape of the toes area they don't work.
Being a surfer the ones with the big toe and the other toes all together work better for me.

I hear reports of them being used even in the military.

From their FAQ:

quote:
FiveFingers can fit up to a 12 inch foot which roughly translates to a size 15.


It is nice to find a company that is thinking about us bigfooted people.

Guys, I attribute the longer second toe to genetic influences from the Texas branch of my family, and all those generations in cowboy boots ...

Do a Google search for Morton's foot or Morton's toe.

I believe that guy is a member of the Venda (sp?) tribe of the Zambezi Valley in Zimbabwe.

Yep, Morton's toe. About 10 percent of folks have this foot configuration.

Some Vadoma are nomadic, don't wear clothes, and live in small caves. They eat Mopane bee honey and snare guinea fowl.

Below is a pic of one's cave in the Zambezi Valley. You can see the vine ladder going to it. I have a telaphoto of it on my other computer...if I remeber...I will send it to photobucket to show sometime.
