During my last run a guy started pointing to my vff shoes and said something like 'those kind of shoes' to the person next to him while I was still quite far away. To find out what kind of rude person this was I stopped running to talk to him.

It appeared that he was importing and selling these shoes. And he was proud to see someone running with them :)
 
I find that wearing my VFF’s seem to be more of an attention getter than my bare feet...

...I hit the mother lode last year when a running store in a nearby town was having a clearance sale on the previous years model and got the majority of them at about 70% off. I had no idea when I bought them that I’d be gravitating to shoeless this year but I’m glad I have them. The greeny/brown and powder blue are my ‘dress shoes’ :). The plain black ones have about 450 miles of hard use from hiking last year (still take them along now for when my feet get overstimulated). The two closest to my feet are insulated and have extended my winter running season- I relied heavily on them when I twisted my ankle skiing earlier this year as putting regular shoes/boots on was virtually impossible.

This would be a good thread to start, Heath, pictures of our collections of VFFs. Ha! I've thrown out a pair or two due to The Funk. :wacky:
