Has anyone driven their Bimmer wearing Vibram Five Fingers shoes? Must be a rush!

jaadoogar · 12-25-2011, 11:36 AM

I'm considering getting these shoes so I can *feel* the drive... Any thoughts?

Vibram Five Fingers

Has anyone worn these while driving? I bet it's awesome, especially on the clutch!

avocet · 12-25-2011, 11:49 AM

Please don't wear those shoes in public.

be1ieve1111 · 12-25-2011, 11:56 AM

I used to wear them when driving the STi, they felt great but they were so grippy that I couldn't slide my feet between clutch and brake pedal. Required lifting/jerky sliding which was a turnoff.

fdriller9 · 12-25-2011, 11:56 AM

It's like driving barefoot. It's not all that great.

edirtaynine · 12-25-2011, 11:59 AM

i hate driving barefoot/socks. frikkin weird. only had to do it once or twice tho

AppFan · 12-25-2011, 12:06 PM

I've been wearing them a couple years now. They're not the best driving shoes but love them for hiking or anything outdoors.
Be prepared to be stopped in public with questions when you do wear them out. Drives my wife crazy.

MCoupeInsanity · 12-25-2011, 12:14 PM

They look hideous and should be banned in public. Creep me out.

Edward · 12-25-2011, 12:29 PM

They did it. They made something worse than crocs

TotalPower · 12-25-2011, 12:32 PM

OMG it's a rush- your car goes so fast! Have you tried wearing Vibram 5finger GLOVES? omgomg omg

bsamoul · 12-25-2011, 12:35 PM

Please don't ever, ever wear those.

SGMe90 · 12-25-2011, 01:12 PM

Hate them, so ugly

Wow, I love you guys. I hate those things with every fiber of my being. Creepiest, dumbest looking things ever invented.

Glim · 12-25-2011, 02:57 PM

I am sure they are great, to each their own.

One guy I know found these are the only thing that relieves his plantar fasciitis.

While they may look ridiculous to some of you, they're incredible. They keep the natural shape of your toes and are ridiculously comfortable. Maybe you all should try them instead of simply saying they *LOOK* stupid.

Agreed they are weird looking but do wonders if you run. Lower back pain usually goes away and no shin splints ever since changing from normal running shoes to these.

Haven't worn to drive in, but they would probably be too "sticky" for quick maneuvers with the pedals.

avocet · 12-25-2011, 03:35 PM

My girlfriend wears toe socks. They are cute.
I don't wear toe socks.
I am sure lulu lemon pants are very comfy and functional, but I don't wear those, either.

Nah, I'd rather take pot-shots.

I'm sure banana hammocks are plenty comfortable, but you won't catch me in them. Orthotics are all I need to keep my fat 6' 2" frame and feet comfortable standing for 8-19 hrs every day.
