wearing these in busy london would do nothing for your social status and would likely result in your feet being crushed by some idiot who decides to walk on them. 
 
That said...I'm intrigued!

It actually looks like you have artificial feet or something, like you're some kind of android!

Wow you are brave, if I wore these to my work I would die. Haha. I have some cute little five toe socks though, which I would never wear out of the house!

 Vibrams (pronounced vee-brams) are pretty great and quite comfortable if you can get past the odd looks and comments you get from pundits.

I am intrigued, I like walking barefoot (always walk barefoot at home and even at the office) and if this is anything like it I might give them a try. I am just a little afraid how they would fit since my big toe is way longer than the rest of my toes so it might not fit very well...

btw. I love vibram as a company, they make excellent soles for hiking and climbing shoes, I have learned to trust my boots on any surface. On a side note it would be awesome to see climbing shoes with separate toes.

I am very interested in hearing Will's opinion of the shoes. I was at a parkour jam in San Jose yesterday, and two, maybe three, of the traceurs there had FiveFingers on. They really seem to like them.

You're lucky Ryan was in a good mood. Man's likely to lose his mind with those things in the office!

Hmm, seems like they could have beneficial uses for a lot of traceurs who are too pussy to train barefoot. I await your verdict, Will.

I have a pair of the Vibram KSOs and i absolutely love them. They are the only shoe I can run without my feet cramping.

couldn't they make something like those but make them look more normal?
