Anyone new to these remember to size your feet after you've walked around without shoes on for about 10-15 minutes so your feet are the actual size they'll be when you're walking in 'em.

I was in an asshat parade and every one was wearing these.

Since you were in the parade that means you are an asshat. How can we trust your word on how many people were wearing these?

Anyone see a size chart so I can figure out what the numbers mean?

The salesman where I bought mine touted them as machine washable, but failed to explain they are line dry only. Mine shrunk some, but I can still fit into them. As far as the shoes themselves, RTF (online) M before you use them! Starting out, don't expect to run your normal distance unless your normal distance is 0 miles. Oh, and they take forever to dry as kayaking shoes, be prepared for serious prune-feet if you're going for 3+ hours.

@paul1984: There is no reason you cant trust an asshat's word or their taste of shoes in the barely shoe category.

When ever I see someone running in these, they have this stride and look on their face that screams...owwie..owwie..owie..owie..

And I dont understand the world of the foot fetishist, but I have a feeling that these hold a special spot in their hearts and on their heels.

The result of years of research at Ugly Shoe Labs to find something even more ridiculous-looking than Crocs.

I've been trail running in these(not this model, the KSOs) for about 7 months and I can't imagine running in anything else. I don't run roads with them because the lack of cushioning results in sore joints for me. For softer surfaces, though, they're tops. I wouldn't buy them online though. It took quite awhile and the assistance of a few sales associates to ensure I had a proper fit. Trust me, if these don't fit perfectly, they're going to rub and be miserable.

I've been dealing with severe foot and ankle pain that occurs during running for the last 15 years. I've consistently upped the amount of arch support an stabilization over the years (custom footbeds, etc.) and nothing helped. Then I switched to FiveFingers. And slowly things started improving, I can now run 5 miles without any pain or discomfort. Highly recommended, though they do make your feet stink something awful.

Satire is great, especially when people believe it.

@fett101: Thanks. I think I'll go to a local store to actually try some of these things.

Make sure you know your exact size before ordering. Not a little over or a little under, but exact. Go to the store and have them do it, or follow the directions on Vibram's sight, which were spot on when I did it myself.

Compared to the other VFFs, the SmartWools are thicker on top and on the soles. You lose a lot of the extra ground feeling you get with the KSOs, but the SmartWool model is easier to slip on and off.

I have a few different VFFs, and these are the ones I never wear anymore. They stay in my camping backpack as something to wear around the camp at night time.

If you seriously want everything you have heard about these kind of shoes, save your money and get the kangaroo leather KSO Treks, which are amazing. You get great feedback from the terrain you are walking on, and the leather is both very thin and a little stretchy, so if you get the size just right they feel part of you.

I have slept in my KSO Treks several times, totally forgetting I was wearing them.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
