I have a pair (the fivefingers, not any golf version). I’m not a minimalist runner, and hopefully am not in the “eew” or “gross dude” categories. I got mine at a store closeout for less than half the normal (i.e. rip-off) price, and thought that they’d be an interesting experiment for bouldering/short range hiking. With the increased flexibility and ability to actually use my toes to at least a minor degree as one would when barefoot, but still having some protection, they’ve won me over regardless of how weird or faddish I may appear going to and from said activities. They definitely take some getting used to, but if you like being barefoot, but don’t like shredded soles, they’re a good thing.
