Wire walking I bet really helps you condition the feeling in your feet and toes for way better balance

You'll probably be climbing up buildings in no time

I see a lot of people wearing them this time of year. Appalachian trail runs right by my cabin, and a ton of people walking the trail stop off for water and to rest....half of them wearing hiking boots, the other half wearing those finger shoes. Really look weird, but they claim they are comfortable.

is there a point to those kinds of shoes, or they just are neat?

by point i mean, circulation, or like those sneakers that are supposed to tone your calf, correct a foot problem. that sort of thing.

I've heard, (never tried them) that they're as close to barefoot running you can get without it being the real thing (which hurts like hell).

Barefoot like running and walking. Strengthens your toes and their dexterity, giving you better balance. Running in a barefoot style is arguably better for joints and works extra muscles in the leg/ankle/foot.

I've seen those exposed toe shoes. They make me shudder. I'm very biased to wearing foot protection..

In that case I might have to look into these. Looking into doing some trail exploring this spring/summer. Got 2000 acres of woods with trails to explore less than a mile away and by golly I think its time I checked out more than the first mile or two of one entrance. Hmmmmmmmmmm
