I saw the most horrible shoes the other night at the restaurant. They looked like bare feet. I would have sworn the were Crocs, but they are made by Vibram. OH MY, COD!!!

They may have been a little more intriguing except the woman wearing them had cankles bigger around than my thigh. Wrong...just wrong! :bang:

Pony up, girls! I know some of you out there have these and just haven't admitted it, yet!

Don't have any, but I've seen 'em before. I bet they'd be super to wear scalloping out at the Cape, though... I always hated wearing those water socks... :wave:

I saw them for the first time on the scuba guy at the GA aquarium a couple of weeks ago when I snorkeled with the whale sharks. I thought they were really awesome!!!!!!! I'm more of a stiletto girl though!!!!!

I'm with you on that. Keep your toes together, I don't want to see them separated like that.

I know two friends that have them, both males and one is a marine (I still made fun of him though). I guess they have their purpose, anything you are doing in the water it makes sense, but to go to dinner, put some real shoes on, and that doesn't include crocs either.

Oh please, FTLOC don't remind him! Those shoes are the only downside to warm weather. Thankfully, he doesn't have a pair at home. Those fugly things are in the closet at the beach. I'm sure if a guest breaks into the owners lock up they'd be scared straight at the sight of those things! :yikes:

The guy who sang w/ Susanna Hoffs at Songwriter's was wearing these! Very distracting. :blink:

Sorry, but i'd wear them. My big sis sent me some toe socks for Christmas and i loved them in the winter! I didn't even need my slippers on the porch because my feet were kept so warm in those socks. My husband said they're no different than wearing regular socks, but i beg to differ. When each toe is individually wrapped, there is no air flow, therefore feet stay warmer.
Yes, I'd wear these if i had some but i'm sure i'd have sticker shock and never pay that much for "bare" feet. :wave:
