The Ugliest Sandals in the World Are Actually Based on Foot Science

Look how ugly these sandals are. They look like a radioactive gummy bear pooped on a milk crate. But these Sazzi sports sandals are actually biomimeticly designed to keep your feet safe from uneven terrain, if not deeply judgmental eyes.

Barefoot running has been popular for a few years now. The five-fingered shoes you see pounding down the sidewalk really do help people stabilize themselves while they run by letting the muscles in your toes and feet do the work they were meant to do. Same goes for the Sazzi sandals, except, like, as sandals.

You probably won't be putting in a ton of roadwork with these, but they might warrant a look. Er, wear. They warrant a wear. Don't look directly at them. They'll be out in May for $80-$100.

Honestly I think comfort and all that is a better thing to achieve from this kind of footwear than looks are so in my opinion it's good news this exists! If only I had the money to shell out, it's a shame I don't!

My friend used to have a pair of shoes that looked somewhat like this for running. Apparently they were good for your feet.

Do they have any other colors? They are kinda tacky and what would you where with these?
