stutters August 23, 2007 Share stutters GC Alumni August 23, 2007 first, this thread was supposed to be "lost" in the mysterious server trouble. hell, it's the whole reason i staged the mishap. second, I hope you smacked him his arm was the size of my torso, it didnt seem like a good idea at the time, although the thought had crossed my mind death didnt seem like it was worth it right then It was a guy? I refuse to believe this...is all hope lost? TOMATOES!!! YOU DO NOT WANT TOE SOCKS!!! Oh we're all doomed... why is it so surprising? it'd be one thing if this sighting was somewhere in the states, but it's totally feasible oh yer side of the border.

anonymo August 24, 2007 Share anonymo Member August 24, 2007 why is it so surprising? it'd be one thing if this sighting was somewhere in the states, but it's totally feasible oh yer side of the border. I'll concede your point...however I can guarantee there's more men in the US wearing toe socks right now then there are in Canada, consider that!

Windex August 27, 2007 Share Windex Member August 27, 2007 (edited) I want a pair! they'd be awesome for bouldering/creek walking/fishing.. oh waiiiittt I'm the only outdoors man in this community i forgot ****begin science content****** The ability for each toe to move independently provides for AWESOME balance far beyond what you get when you're wearing shoes.. if you notice the pinky toe is beginning to get smaller and smaller as the generations go on. this is because the use of the shoe provides balance and you don't need your toes as much.. evolution at work! ****end science content******* Edited August 27, 2007 by Windex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(at least that's where his wife sends him...ZING!) Just the thought of each of my little piggies in their own little socks gives me goose bumps...I don't know how you could even consider wearing these things!

NOFX August 27, 2007 Share NOFX Member August 27, 2007 Im with sj on this one. I was really disappointed to see this thread come back to life after the server crash. btw they wouldn't work for me, my second toe is longer than my big toe.. Oh if you guys think these are cool, I just got a great idea. I will make these shoes with the toe tips cut out. You know... like those rad gloves from the 80's! *makes it 10x easier to rip off a toenail* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windex August 27, 2007 Share Windex Member August 27, 2007 These would be the only ones I'd actually wear.. https://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/.../112//large.jpg Neutral color.. they are very similar to climbing shoes with the exception of the separated toes.. but unless u'd have a need for them yes they would suck. i spend alot of time climbing and walking the rivers near here. those would be awesome to use when fishing in the rapids.. good solid grip and not to heavy.. better then being barefoot and tearin your feet up!

Windex August 27, 2007 Share Windex Member August 27, 2007 the most impressive thing about them is the rubber compound they use on the soles. it's similar to stealth rubber which has the most grip and highest quality attainable so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appalachian_fox August 28, 2007 Share appalachian_fox Member August 28, 2007 https://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/index.cfm weird, neat, or just a silly idea? Silly idea. If you want to go barefoot, go barefoot. If you need protection for your feet, get protection. I can't imagine you have enough freedom of movement with that sole to allow you actually get much of a benefit from your toes anyway, though since I haven't actually worn one I can't really tell. The pictures make it look more cosmetic than utilitarian, though. Unless they were some kind of fourteen-foot tall atomic Kevlar socks with lasers for eyes!
