They've only 5 toes. Wouldn't do for me.

Quite like the idea of these for cross country or similar. Don't think my knees would like it for street-running though - especially over distance.

I should think the Pobble-community are a little offended....

I've tried a pair on and found having my toes splayed was a bit weird. I might consider running on forgiving surfaces in them but there's no way I'd use them on hard surfaces, there is now cushioning at all.
