Like the title says, I'm curious as to what you think of skeletoes shoes if you've tried them. They're designed for runners, but I want to use them for sparring and practicing kung fu forms and such. Thanks! drinker

My science prof. wore them. I just thought they were a funkey pair of shoes. I looked them up on line and they are suppose to be very supportive and are being pushed for running. But I never wore them.

barefoot barefoot barefoot

but as long as they are lightweight and flexible u should be fine (hello HB)

BTW I did wear a pair of nylon "mary janes" to kick in because the bag bruised my instep a few times so there are times that footwear can help

only problem was that I lost some speed on spinning kicks cuz the soles hugged the floor

Barefoot isn't an option for me at the gym. (I really wish it was, though) The floor is too unsanitary, as it is used by all sorts of people in all sorts of shoes which carry in bazillions of germs-many of which can cause various skin infections, athlete's foot, etc. That's why if you train in a dojo, no shoes are allowed in the training area.

Update: I got a pair for my b-day. I really like them! :banana: :banana: They will be really comfy for practicing forms and sparring in places that aren't designed for bare feet.

Technically you can train barefoot anywhere...if you want to get athlete's foot or some funky infection. :wink: laugh laugh
