I wear shoes basically... to work, and when hiking, and when going around the city, and that's it. I don't particularly like shoes, I've never worn a pair I'd call particularly comfortable (as opposed to ignorably uncomfortable, and I tried the vibrams and the toes on them are just too short, very uncomfortable), and even then my shoes only last like... 4-6 months before wearing out. I don't want to have to buy more than three pairs of shoes a year so I'm fine only wearing them when I feel its appropriate and no more. Plus I like feeling what I'm walking on most of the time, I'm probably just a fledgling autist or some poo poo but I like feeling things as I move around. Tromping barefoot through puddles and mud and snow and stuff is actually pretty fun in moderation, though I do that pretty rarely. So I generally don't wear shoes outside of my daily commute and regular hikes. (I actually keep them off under my desk too as if anyone gives a poo poo but since the OP asked for advice hey guess what you can take them off under your desk at work too and then get most of the benefits of them not being in shoes while still being able to walk around in shoes). I even do it outside a lot and in the water even though I've cut my feet open more than once while submerged because gently caress those dumb water shoes. I don't see why someone would refuse to wear shoes ever that sounds dumb though. There are good reasons for shoes, both social and physical. I would not want to hiking through the underbrush without shoes, or walk down certain streets in my town even. Not wearing shoes does not make you a better human being. Not feeling like you have to wear them everywhere might make you a happier one but that's mostly for you to figure out. Basically, shoes are like coats, where them when it's appropriate it and take them off when you don't need them and it doesn't matter.

Some of the anti-feet people in this thread are as stupid as the people who make not wearing shoes a Thing.

surc posted:If you don't like your toes getting scrunched, there are a plethora of technologies to aide you. (e.g http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/index.htm). Fair warning though, I have these shoes and literally every time I wear them out random strangers will go out of their way to hate on me. Vibrams fit poorly and scrunch up my toes, what should I do? Should I buy a pair and just cut the toe holes off? That might work. Good idea. litany of gulps posted:Seriously. What kind of rear end in a top hat buys shoes that fall apart in 6 months? Goons are fat... but also active? It is a conundrum.

Internet Explorer posted:Buy a pair that fits? You can also heat up the rubber sole and stretch individual toes a little bit. They don't make them is the problem. They only make one shape, and they are exclusively made for people with "normal" feet, like 99% of shoes, which means I'm out of luck. If I could get like a custom fit vibrams made I would probably start wearing them again, no matter how uncool they were. Hell I would give a lot for a decent custom fit of any type of shoes. But probably not as much as it would cost. Kritzkrieg Kop posted:You're still a moron in those "shoes"

surc posted:I'm unsure if you're joking or not, but there's a bunch of alternatives to vibram out there at this point, you should try one of them, or maybe try a different size of vibram or something. I don't know. Yes I was joking. I did have to cut up the pair I tried in order to get them to fit, but I did not cut the toes off completely, I just made some modifications. They still very very poorly. As far as alternatives go, it doesn't matter. All of them are built for the same foot shape, because something like 85% of the population has the same foot shape. When you get one of the single digit frequency variants, you are already a niche just to get regular shoes, no one is likely to bother making a niche of a niche, or at least I haven't seen anyone marketing to it yet.
