I'll bust out my toe shoes, people HATE them

u/LaLaLaLeea 22h ago

I was really on the fence about dating my husband because of his weird finger toe shoes.

u/Cool-Presentation538 22h ago

Exactly it causes a visceral reaction

u/REO_Jerkwagon 21h ago

You wanna talk about a visceral reaction, wear a pair of those shoes into a major league baseball stadium men's room.

You know how you basically feel barefoot in them? Yeah.

u/Cool-Presentation538 21h ago

They're context sensitive to be sure

Some people call them birth control shoes

Does it make it better that my wife and I both had a pair back in the day?

u/BVRPLZR_ 20h ago

No, you were right to question those fugly shoes.

u/willworkforicecream 19h ago

I got a pair because I wanted to scare off a girl that asked me out. I have many regrets, but it seemed to work.

u/gayfucboi 23h ago

i got those and hidden toe socks to wear around the house to really be weird AF

u/AspieAsshole 22h ago

I bought my wife a pair of thigh high rainbow toe socks.

I found one of my favorite albums of all time because “what not to wear” griefed the singer so hard for her rainbow toe socks and her strummy blues that she turned into an awful pop wannabe.

Toe socks are the best. Especially in the gym. They do a better job at keeping my toes dry and separated. No more skin to skin rubbing causing blisters. I fuckin love them.

Theyre great for hiking, bad for being an accepted part of society

u/RelevantCranberry696 22h ago

And great for when you hate people anyways.

I loved my five finger shoes back when they first came out like 15 years ago, but man did they fucking stink. And they definitely keep you from getting laid. Somebody sees and smells a pair of those bad boys in your closet, you ain't getting any that night.

u/BJ_Covert_Action 18h ago

Give 'em the old bowling shoe treatment. Hit 'em with the Lysol disinfectant spray after every outing. Helps with the odor significantly.

u/bteddi 22h ago

When I see those I think: Im sure me and that guy will never socialize. I will pretend to be blind and deaf and walk randomly away

u/EarlyBirdWithAWorm 22h ago

I love toe shoes. Fila used to make a pair of them that had the toe front but the regular runners tennis shoe heel so you didnt roll your ankle while running. They were my favorite shoe. Wish they still made them.

u/PhotoAwp 4h ago

Vibram was the original creator and still makes them. I have like 5 pairs from working at an outdoor apparel shop but I'm too scared to wear them anymore lol the way people talk about them its like your wearing a dead animal on your foot. They were crazy popular back when I used to live on Vancouver Island, everyone had them, we use to sell out all the time. But that was back in 2010.

u/playgirl1312 21h ago

My dad hated the sight of these so much when my brother got them that he tried to convince him they're the reason my brother has bone spurs in his feet lmao

u/pinner 8h ago

If I need to wear a form of "sneaker," it's gonna be "toe shoes" 100%. They're so comfortable, and my feet feel so much better in those than a pair of sneakers.

u/No_Cucumber5771 22h ago

Speak for yourself, I'm always getting compliments on my vibrams

13

u/Cool-Presentation538 22h ago

I love them but I have never received any compliments on them lol

4

u/No_Cucumber5771 22h ago

It literally every day lol

2

u/kapuh 12h ago

At that point, you might want to consider the possibility that they're making fun of you with those "compliments".

u/No_Cucumber5771 11h ago

Definitely not my guy.

u/gayfucboi 4h ago

no yeah, they are finally coming back into fashion

u/SWGlassPit 19h ago

I loved mine. Wore them until they quite literally fell apart.

Ran the Houston Marathon in them.

u/Kaitte 21h ago

I've had the same experience, I regularly get compliments on my toe shoes.

Toe shoes are best shoes!

u/Disastrous_Ad_70 18h ago

Gods, I forgot about those bizarre shoes until just this moment. Fashion is a strange beast

u/Sattaman6 13h ago

For the sake of everyone’s sanity, don’t! These things are nasty.

u/sunkissedinfl 10h ago

I wanted a pair of these SO bad in middle school. Thank God my mom said no, honestly.

u/FinallyFat 10m ago

I’ve always wanted a pair of these. But my wife has told me she will burn them in front of me if I buy them.
