15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found

- Five Finger shoes are quieter than typical soles during operation.
- Five Finger shoes offer better stability than spongy-soled shoes for slow walking movements.
- Five Finger shoes are not suitable for operating on gravel, wet ground, or in mud.
Depends on
- The shoes were tested by individual operators in specific contexts and may perform differently depending on operator preference and technique.
- Experience is limited to anecdotal reports from a small number of practitioners.
