Yeah, and the shoes can't be resoled so deffo not BIFL.

That said, they last as long as any other shoe, and aside from looking goofy and being useless the instant there's a drop of water on the ground, they're super comfortable.

Edit to say that you need to consider that getting into town shoes requires an upfront investment in toe socks too.

I think he is talking about vibram soles in general as there are many of them on many different kinds of boots. Most of my heritage boots have viram soles of them of various types. A red wing iron ranger uses a Vibram mini lug 430 sole. So I believe the OP is talking about vibram soles in general not the five finger stuff they sell.

This person is not talking about Vibram Five Fingers. They're talking about Vibram rubber soles made by the same company that produces the Five Fingers.
