Gloves For Your Feet

Vibram Fivefingers Performa

These are the least sporty pair of toe-shoes from this brand; all others resemble aqua socks and are not very cute except for kayaking or something. The Performas look like leather gloves and could pass for flats with a nearsighted glance. What do you think?

LOVE or HATE?
These and their aqua sock cousins can be found on eBay:

    So insanely weird! I’m not keen on the colour but I think the concept is kinda cool.

    I’d do it for practical reasons (walking on pebbly beaches?) but not for fashion reasons.

    Hate but…I’m strangely attracted to them? o_o
    Make them bubblegum pink and I just *might* buy them, because they’re so weird.

    I would like to see them on feet. I feel like they could be cute in a way- like cap gloves that don’t hit your wrist- but I’m not sold just yet. I think they have potential if styled right.

    Eh. Too weird. Won’t your toes sweat?

    I’ve seen similar footwear in the gym; it’s made of other materials, but in any format, it’s going to take some getting used to. I don’t dig it.

    We have these at the store I work at and we get sooo many calls for them. I’m not a huge fan but they’re clearly popular right now!

    I’m slightly freaked out by them but if anyone can pull them off you can!

  14. Becca, on April 23rd, 2010 at 4:33 pm Said:

    Ummmm not sure. I don’t think I’d ever wear them.

  15. robyn, on April 23rd, 2010 at 7:56 pm Said:

    What the? What are they for? I am intrigued.

  16. Heather, on April 23rd, 2010 at 10:29 pm Said:

    What alixrose posted was the exact thing I was thinking. Bigfoot shoesies!

  18. Naka, on April 24th, 2010 at 3:05 am Said:

    Hate
    but they’re interesting ^^

  19. jasna, on April 24th, 2010 at 6:13 am Said:

    Wow, this is really interesting : ) xx

  20. Jennifer, on April 24th, 2010 at 12:21 pm Said:

    I hate how they look but I still want some! I’ve totally bought into the idea of barefoot running being better, or barefoot-ish with kind-of shoes like these. But I don’t know why they have to show all the toes, why couldn’t they just put fabric over the top so it looks like a regular shoe?

  21. Ruta, on April 24th, 2010 at 6:09 pm Said:

    Don’t hate, but I wouldn’t wear them. I’ve always hate toe socks, and these seem even more uncomfortable although they are interesting.

  22. Annie Robertson, on April 24th, 2010 at 6:58 pm Said:

    those make me feel really awkward and gross.

  23. Annie Spandex, on April 25th, 2010 at 3:47 pm Said:

    hannahlizabeth – They also come in black and red.

    Marlena – That would be so cute! They should.

    Stella – I would style them just like regular flats. They do look like cap gloves :)

    All Women Stalker – I think the perforation may help with that.

    enc – Yeah, I don’t like the sporty ones, but these, these I like.

    Tuesdai Noelle – Thank you! I really appreciate that :D xx

    Sasha b – Really? Wow! That’s surprising.

    prettyneons – Lol, yeah.. x

    Danielle – Thanks!

    robyn – I think these are actually meant for yoga and stuff.

    junepaski – That’s what I’m sayin ;)

    Jennifer – But then they would be boring!

    Ruta – Yeah, I never got into toe-socks either..

    EVERYONE – Thanks for your opinions! The NAYS have it, for sure, but I’ve got to admit–I think they’re great! I like how they would illicit double-takes and are sort of familiar yet unconventional at the same time. :)

  24. Bess, on April 27th, 2010 at 3:08 am Said:

    Really weird, yet as much as I love going barefoot I would probably wear them in black. Not a fan of aqua socks either, but in the Northwest the might be a big seller. I’ll let you know if I find anything like this in China!

  25. TheAL, on April 27th, 2010 at 7:07 am Said:

    I’d have to try them on and see how comfortable they are. I do like the color though. What about those people with weirdly shaped toes, like a longer second toe, will these fit them?

  26. Annie Spandex, on April 29th, 2010 at 11:15 pm Said:

    Bess – They do come in black.. Thanks!

    TheAL – I think they would fit the same as other shoes, I mean it goes by shoe size. I don’t think it’s much different than other shoes. Lots of shoes have different shaped toes (round, pointed, etc.). I guess one would have to try them on, though.
