Yes I have and I was really bare foot. I lasted about two miles. The only reason for the second mile was because of the desperate run back home. I grew up in Vermont and was on the cross country track team. So the first good snowfall we had I got a swelled head and thought I was stronger than the elements. So with just a pair of shorts on, no shirt, and no shoes I went for a run. I was lucky I didn't get frostbite.

Living in the Alaskan wilderness is pretty awesome. You could disappear and nobody would know for a year or two.

i'd def be down to try shoes like that if i could find a way for them to work with a prosthesis that has all 5 toes shaped on the top part but all clumped together with no space.



Here you go!

The sole is made by Vibram, the same company that does the Five Fingers. It's a little thicker though, more like the VFF Trek Sport sole.



I have the merrell pace gloves for women, really like them. Couldn't quite go all the way for the toed shoes, but these feel like wearing pretty much nothing. Love them, can't wait for the weather to get better so I can wear them all the time.
