Some of the best running shoes you can buy.

They look funny, and I'll let you do the research. Unless someone really begs to differ. But they are well worth the money and amazing as well.

Also, there are several different models. Even some that use kangaroo leather, which by all means is pro.

I mostly use them for trail running. Really weird at first, but I like them.

Why not just toughen up your feet and go barefoot? :]

As much as I want to be the manliest man. Callouses covering my feet are not attractive. :[

Only seen them when I went on a canoe trip last, someone had a pair of them on. They look pretty nice for water activites.

are you sure those are running shoes? im pretty sure those are for bouldering/rock climbing and trail walking...they have no ankle,arch support, so its hard to beleive they would be good for running(only thing i can think of it could work with are sprints.)

They aren't as bad as you think :P

I live near a beach, so I rarely ever wear shoes in the summer. I can walk across anything haha.

Sorry, back on topic...I think those would make really neat water shoes, as someone already mentioned.

Shoes that offer an artificial arch and ankle support only slowly weaken your natural arch. Your foot has a natural arch, and in fact. The human foot was designed for running, constantly wearing shoes offering artificial support only ruin your natural design.
