Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for September 13, 2011

I know a few folks who’ve tried them. Some swear by them, others say they are horrible.

I’ve seen people on campus wearing these and they creep me out for some reason. Bleah.

what a joke….is this a take off on those barefoot runners that can run circles around any one wearing any type of shoes?

Also glad to see that Adam is not falling for it. He’s showing maturity. And seriously, they also creep me out.

I’m so with Adam on this one.and Aaron you’re right. They are creepy.

Sounds like a waste of money to me!

Seriously, “Barefoot running shoes!” There actually are such things?

The most popular one is called “Vibram Five-finger” they have a website, but I’m not posting a link. if you’re actually interested google it.

I’m going to get a pair…they look cool, and if I had known they creep people out I would have bought them months ago.

No shoes are as good as bare feet on tile, or most any surface. Shoes don’t provide the feedback that helps us run more gracefully, efficiently, and safely.

Scam, scam, scam.

Keep repeating it long enough and folks will eventually accept it as fact.

(Remember 8 glasses of water a day?)

Needless to say, those goofy shoes are very popular right now here in San Francisco, ground zero for all yuppy fads.

Thanks to writers for showing Adam being sensible/rational at least in one strip.

Very good.

Do you realise how much ingenious engineering went into the human body?Barefoot shoe makers are doing very well to copy the natural design of the foot

Glad to see Barefoot Ken Bob and others on this discussion. No shoes are the best trainers you need for running. – Barefoot Tatman
