Thomas 5When I wear my five-fingers in the gym, I often see people funny and surprised looks. They look an extra time with a very surprised face. But they never ask anything... which perhaps a Swedish thing :-)
Anyway - do you have the same experiences? That people think that you are a bit weird/funny wearing strange shoes?
I have been to a gym that actually threatened to kick me out because they felt that my VFFs weren't protective enough.
Funny with the kids looking, I haven't seen that myself.
But perhaps more funny to be banned from the gym?? How did the think? What did you need protection from??
I don't go to the gym but when I'm out running (especially in cold weather) in my sandals I get plenty of weird looks. People make comments to each other and I'm not sure if they don't think I can hear them.
When I go to MY gym, I usually get one person that will ask me about them with great interest. Although that has been tapering off lately. I think people are becoming more and more aware of them.
I find that children will stare openly--often with a smile on their little faces...
