heck no!

i think they're cool for people who have great form and are running experts. i have a tendency towards the trip and fall, so they are not for me!

I think it's a great idea for people who run year round and in warmer weather want something to keep the feet cool.

Those things are so ugly!

Yes they're ugly, but I NEVER wear shoes, except when I'm working out. I hate shoes, I call them "Feet Prisons" (haha anyone see that SNL?) Anyway, i think it'd be nice to have a little airflow down there. They kid of remind me of Tevas or Keens. I would love to use these for little jogs, walks etc! Maybe they'll make nicer looking ones one day. Hey people run Barefoot, so I'd imagine these are okay!

I think these sandals might be good for trail runners in the summer going through puddles and small streams you won't have heavy wet sneakers weighing you down - still I doubt I'd ever wear them.

Interesting.

I think they are worth a try. Personally, because I'm flat-footed and have a slight knock-knee, I think I'll stick to my regular sneakers. I'll probably feel more secure. However, I do like the idea. My feet get a little warm in sneakers. I would love to have my feet cool down with running sandals.

Am I alone on this?

eww. I think they're awful.
Would you wear socks? I just don't see the greatness in sandal sneakers...I guess I'm more focused on my speed and tempo then the temperature of my feet. Plus I take my shoes off right when I am finished running.

No hot and smelly feet at the end of it? Just dust covered? some people don't like wearing shoes... I can see the market for them...

eeeek I just imagine an old guy wearing these with socks

I dislike wearing shoes but I HATE wearing socks. My parents used to have to fight with me to wear them when I was little. These running sandals look interesting but I am with the rest of you...not sure if I would wear them. I have a slight knock knee so I might just stick to my New Balance.

Noooooo

Not for me.

In super hot weather those could be great - I would worry about blisers though. They certainly are not an attractive shoe.

I'm not primarily focused on fashion while I workout--I want a burn. These would be nice because my feet wouldn't be burning up. I like that it wouldn't trap in heat.

since when are running shoes about fashion? i have a friend training for a marathon and she actually changes shoes in her workouts sometimes because her shoes and socks get soaked and give her hug blisters. Maybe the sandal would be an option for her or others that serious in training.

I have a hard time believing that these would be overly great for your feet etc. What if you pronate or supinate? I just see mass injuries from these.

Oh, these are SO not a good idea. I've run through all sorts of terrain and I think sandals would just make your toes get so beat up. A few weeks ago, some idiot pulling out of a drive thru managed to run over my foot (she wasn't going too fast, but I was really pissed that she didn't stop all the way). If I'd been wearing sandals, I probably would have broken my toe. I'll stick with my Asics, thank you very much.

who is saying it's not cool? my feet are dying inside those runing show in summer. and i belive they are quite comfortable and no toes will suffer. you people sometimes don't think at all. probably that's why it's acceptable in US to walk in anckle-shows in summer, or cowboys boots or stuff like that. it's for nomvermber-mid-april only.

I do not know but there is something about them that I like. I think they may look better on.

no thanks

Sounds perfect to me, I live in uber hot weather and during the summer I would totally wear these to run on the beach.

I've been looking for a running shoe alternative because no matter what shoe I wear - I get very sore toes, lose toenails, etc. And believe me - my shoes are plenty big - I think it has more to do with my gait and maybe I clench my toes with each stride. In any case - I could care less about how I look and I'd probably even wear socks - very cute! Haha.
