They are the best windsurfing booties you can get. I have progressed to wearing them for all my watersports. I saw the vibrams and want to try them for the same thing. As for wearing them around town? Naaah...I'm a little bit too, um, mature for that.
lol..I use booties in the winter too, but mine are all in one.

For those who are interested, I'm sure you can purchase them from your local specialty store.

They may be weird looking, but the are comfortable. I actually can't imagine driving in regular shoes, having driven in these. They are the closest thing to barefoot, but don't have to worry about the hot pavement.
Like the old add " With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good"
They would not be selling on looks alone. If you really want to feel the pedals.... try em

Cheers,

Even if they are comfortable as hell, I guess I DO care what people think! No matter how incredible they feel, I couldn't be seen in public wearing them... or, Crocs.

The problem is that the outfit is not complete..... you just have to wear a tie with them.

Brings to mind a quote from ol' O.J.:

"I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those ugly *** shoes.."

I wonder what they wear in the pen?

This too from England's Daily Mail

A cushioned trainer has long been the most important item in the wardrobe for any runner keen on preserving his feet and joints.

But that could all be about to change as a craze for new running socks that mimic what it would be like to be barefoot is starting to take hold.

The FiveFingers brand has been taking off in America ever since they were named one of the best inventions by Time magazine back in 2007.

And now their fame has spread across the Atlantic, with a British osteopath Matt Walden starting to use them here to help rehabilitate his patients.

They have become the subject of huge chatter on the internet and the micro-blog site Twitter as the idea of running without trainers takes hold.

I like driving barefoot, just keep boatshoes handy in the car.
