Title: Re: Five Finger shoes?
Post by PhantomJug on Sep 13th, 2011 at 3:51pm
I thought for sure I had reviewed these shoes about 5 years ago around here - Hmmm, couldn't find it but . . . .

They are not a good canoe shoe IMO.  The sole is fantastic (similar to a rock climbing shoe).  It is no-slip and decent on the terrain.  However, as far as comfort and stability they were very poor (on my feet anyway).  Not only did they make my toes sore they were difficult to remove and get back on when wet (even with just sweat let alone fully submersed.  My review?  All style and little substance.  FWIW - I have wide feet and a permanent twist in my right  big toe from an injury in my youth which may have led to the discomfort - both feet were not real happy however.
