Those weird running shoes with individual toes

[homeless kid]

Don't know what they're actually called - toe socks or something.

Has anyone used them - are they actually any good for running in? Look to me that they'd give you no arch support at all.

Vibram five fingers, I think.

I use them, help with shin splits as replicate barefoot running which meant to be good for you.

Depends on the surface really.
How much did they cost that that factor convinced you...?

Been wearing them about 3 month. Still get odd pain but nothing like before. Was a couple weeks into wearing them when pain eased.
