calling all Vibram Fivefingers owners

[topaz]

This question is particularly directed at users of Vibram FiveFingers who have had them for at least a year: Do you still like them? Are you still wearing them? If not, why not? Have you encountered any drawbacks you didn't expect?

I have had mine for 3 years or so, and I still love them. I don't wear them often, so they're still in very good shape. I especially love them for outdoor activities -- they're what I wore almost the whole time I was in Zion last fall, and I have really liked them for running, too. I wish I'd chosen an all black pair (mine are purple and gray), because I think I would wear them more often, which I would like!

Yes - I love having the all-black ones (and all-black toe socks), because I get fewer weird comments on them than I think I otherwise might.

I need a new pair soon, i think my next ones will be all black for that exact reason.

how hard is it to make them work with toe socks? my husband doesn't wear his much anymore because he doesn't like the way the inside of the sole feels. since he prefers toe socks, he's been tpying with the idea of wearing them with the five fingers, but i think he decided it would be annoying and difficult.

I haven't tried them yet (but expect to soon), but the folks I know, and have heard from through the grapevine haven't had problems using them with toe socks, but YMMV (literally).

Injinji makes some very nice ones that many Fivefingers wearers love, but personally I've even had success with acrylic rainbow dime-store toe socks. I prefer wearing them with socks, now that I've tried it both ways.
