It's got about a 1-2mm sole, but it looks like a running shoe, anyone know what I mean?

E/ kinda looks like a barefoot runner without toe holes

Merrell is likely the brand you are thinking of. They have Vibram soles without toe holes, and are minimalist.

Google men's Merrell vapor trail glove 2 or 3

What purpose are you going to use them for? Running? If so on what terrain? Road? Treadmill? Trail? Grass? Beach?

Be careful if you are planning on running longer distances in "barefoot running shoes." A lot of people get injured with these shoes if they don't build their mileage up slowly in them. I would recommend starting off running only on the treadmill or on softer terrain at first until your feet adjust to them. Once you adjust to them though they can be great and can enhance muscles and improve posture.

I still prefer a neutral cushioned road shoe like Hoka One One Clifton 2 or Mizuno Wave Rider 19... Easier on the joints.

Vibram 5 fingers


They're 100% worth, even though they got sued by fat people because they tried to pull some bull shit fitness weight loss crap.


They're also a sick conversation piece when you bump into chicks / dudes in public. You'd think people would call you a goof for wearing toe shoes, but they actually stop you and chat like you're a celebrity.
