Title: Socks for shoes?
Post by: Golem on February 14, 2016, 03:05:03 pm
What do you guys think? Anybody into this kind of thing? Me personally, I've been wearing vivos for the past year and wouldn't wear hard-soled shoes ever again.

Stepped on any nails or tacks yet?  Not much good for hiking in rough terrain I'd guess.  Too easy to split/stub toes plus no ankle support.

Maybe if you lived in a field, where I live in England I'd step on glass, nails, used needles and hit my toes on all the broken uneven pavements and roads.

Damn those look sick, i never knew i wanted something like this, but walking basically barefoot does peak my interest. I guess it might hurt still if you walk on a nail even though it might not penetrate, but i dont think i have ever done that, and im pretty sure i could react and not put my full weight on the foot before it would damage me. Unless of course i went jogging with them, which i probably wouldnt.

Those socks look like leg gloves. Why would I pay small fortune for socks is the right question? Luxury items that make no fucking sense disgust me.

That's why I wear military grade shoes. Not the most comfortable ones, but that's for pussies anyway and there's enough of them these days.

You have to look at the big picture here, Leshma... Just imagine:

It is a sunny summer day. You are walking your Yorkshire terrier to a nearest gluton-free Paleo cafe, so you can have a cup of decaf coffee and update your reddit blog. You are both wearing matching t-shirts saying "migrants are welcome". You are taking a place outside, crossing your legs covered by sky-blue short shorts with rainbow colored suspenders. While you are waiting for your order and power-up your macbook, you take care of your bushy beard with a special organic brush. You take the first sip and light up your mouth-fedora-vaper. Finally, comfy and self satisfied, you take a glance at your newly acquired shoe-socks, and it takes you to a new level of euphoria. Your halo blinds the surrounding plebs. You are a superior transcendent being now. The world is your oyster.

Mainstream and plain stupid. Like wearing makeup.

I've been thinking of doing this (http://barefootrunning.com/?p=2052), which is a much cheaper alternative to buying new shoes every god damn six months.

I love hiking barefoot in the summer, feels good as heck. I don't run though so I have no opinion on the whole barefoot running thing. Humans have been wearing shoes for a long-ass time, although nothing like the last half a century of sports medicine/anatomy/running shoe innovation spit out. My favorite footwear for biking and lifting are paper-thin, flat as fuck supportless worn out Converse sneakers so I'd probably be in the "freeballing your toes" camp if I was a runner.

It might be easier to just clear the damn debris regularly on your running circuit rather than invent "almost naked" shoe sock things. And then you're doing a nice polite thing for your community too?? Haha wtf am I talking about this is stupid just wear sockshoes.
