Have you ever heard of these? I recently grabbed a pair of the sport and outdoor shoes known as Vibram FiveFingers. These shoes are like gloves for your feet and they are meant to recreate the sensation of going around barefoot.
I will say they are pretty hilarious looking! While I'm usually no stranger to attention-grabbing garb, I have to admit, I'm not sure if I could wear these around if they werent soo damn comfortable. I tried a single shoe on at the store and immediately told the clerk, "sweet mother of god, these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn!" And I wasn't lying. I wear these every chance I get because they feel soo good. They're aimed at the outdoor sports crowd for running, hiking, water-sports type activities, but they're pretty much good for going anywhere. Other people will definitely look at you a little strange, however, and I would say if you couldn't get away with wearing flip flops to this particular public place, you might not want to try the FiveFingers there either.
I first learned about these shoes from the blog of author Tim Ferriss after reading his popular book, The 4-Hour Workweek, which I highly recommend. Well, I didn't actually read it, I listened to the audiobook because thats the way I do it. Read more about Vibram FiveFingers on Tim Ferriss' blog or on the FiveFingers website.
