I walk in them. I run in them. I've trailed over ocean sand, climbed rocks and been on the trail with them. They dry quickly and wash easily. (But beware really dry tall grass or 'stickered' areas, this shoe is SUPER thin and those things will poke right through.)
Do take the time to ready the instructions and only wear them a little at a time at first. It may sound crazy but your feet and calves will thank you. Going 'barefoot' with these shoes is worlds apart from walking in other shoes and your muscles will freak out at first because they haven't been used since you were a kid!
And there will be a learning curve getting them on at first. Kind of like contacts. It takes a few tries to get it right. Once you do they slip on easily. I don't even bother to adjust them tighter unless I'm going to be doing some hiking or climbing over rocks.
I fractured my little toe a few years ago and I cannot find any 'regular' shoes that don't hurt no matter how wide or up in size I go. These shoes, that allow your foot to spread naturally, have solved that problem. I also had some hip pain before I started wearing things. That too is gone. With that recommendation, two friends purchased them because of hip pain and they too had the pain disappear.
Cold Tip: These shoes are thin so in the winter your toes can get really cold. To solve this I bought a pair two sizes too big for me and wear the toe-socks with them. Problem solved. (I do not live where there is a lot of snow. I have worn them in the cold drizzle and it worked fine. But if you have harsh weather then you'll probably need an alternative for those months.)
My first pair had the single velcro strap across the top of the foot, and I like this style with the bungee laces much better. It gives a more customized fit across the top of the foot without putting so much pressure in one place like the single strap does.
I run better in my running shoes..
The cons: First, you have to be very careful with the sizing measurements. These shoes aren't meant to stretch with wear, as the non-stretchable rubber soles wrap around to the tops of your toes. Make sure you get the size right before taking them out for a spin. Secondly, if you're going to be doing high-energy cardio, your toes might slip out of their slots, interrupting your workout. Imagine doing burpees, and as you jump your feet forward, your toes shift out a little; you have to pause and make sure everything is still in the right place. Thirdly, getting your feet into these shoes properly is of course a little trickier than putting on standard shoes. You probably won't be able to slip them on in one fell swoop, although it shouldn't take too long. However, I purchased Vibram 5fingers for my 3-year-old son, and it's so complicated getting those things properly on all his toes, I basically stopped putting them on him, and now he has outgrown them. Moral of the story: get them for older children and adults.
The pros: I love how these shoes feel much more natural than standard tennis shoes. You feel much more in touch with the ground below you. Your toes won't chafe against each other--just buy corresponding socks. These are lightweight, which makes you feel overall much more agile without big tennis shoes dragging you down. I would say the Vibram 5-Finger shoe is superior for many activities such as walking, jogging, and other exercises that don't require a whole lot of intense "jumping around." The look is one that takes getting used to, but I honestly don't care because they're great to wear!
