FiveFingers running shoes and the rest of the quasi-barefoot movement are a pretty zealous bunch—they wear a pretty polarizing shoe. But the debate is now quashed in the military, with an official ban. Why? They look too silly.
According to an official Army memo, FiveFingers and any similar shoes "that feature five separate, individual compartments for the toes" are banished from military footsies on the grounds that they "detract from a professional military image."

HAHA these things are like so practical, unfortunately they are only worn by weird people and hipsters now.
I don't blame them. I've only seen weirdos wearing them...
wouldn't that be uncomfortable?
lol at these monkey shoes
looks comfortable, but i wouldn't want to be seen in them
I think that if someone want to wear those shoes, they should go big or go home and either run barefoot or wear shoes! Pet shoes! the next big thing.
Lol, interesting and weird.
lol looks like they would be nice to use off the road
I'd probably feel like a ninja in these damn things. lol.
Hahah. that's so absurd. The shoes AND the reaction.
yeah those look week. probably do the job
I can't believe the army allowed those in the first place. Do they allow Crocs too?
LOL those are some sick slippers bro. SWAG.
I know someone who wears these
They do look kind of silly, I've never really got the appeal of these, an toe socks.
I tried some of these on. the only thing I said was, "I CANT FEEL MY TOES!"
it was strange... never again.
Finally the army does something right
I think they look cool
