Reminds me of Al Bundy's "God Shoes"

well they work great for because i have Plantar fasciitis and they are a great alternative to my ever so loved but bad for my feet sandals. plus they strengthen you foot and lower leg muscles and pretty much eliminate ankle roll.

Those look awesome. I gotsa check them out!

you really should if you don't like wearing shoes but have to for whatever reason. another side effect is a lot more random people talk to you.

Sheesh - and I thought it couldn't get any more ridiculous than the current Crocs phase. Guess I was wrong.

Very funny. I was a big fan of the show.

Is it just me or does the model have huge toes on the homepage.

Looks like walking on rocks would suck. My wife has rainbow socks with the same toe's. I hate em.

x2.. Been wearing shoes since I was born and Ive not had any problems.

Sandles and flip flops are ok but those are ridiculous.

Those looks cool and I like my vibram soles on my boots but I love my boots too much and prefer to also have gore-tex covering my feet. One reason is NYC being generally dirty (especially in the subway system, lots of mysterious puddles) and the second reason being that hot brass casings (from a firearm) can be a bit much on "shoes" like those.
