Hey, thanks for the K, I couldn't hit you back..havne't "spread it around" enough apparently. Anyway, deadlift/squat barefoot before you buy those. If you like it, then go ahead and buy em cause it's practically the same thing. That's always been my point, try running/lifting barefoot first and if it's comfortable buy those shoes. But that message get's lost so quick with the kind of assholes that hang out here. So after 3 days of bullshit it sounds like I'm some kind of vibram nazi that thinks everyone should toss their entire shoe warddrobe and walk around in toesock shoes. Like everything, they have their place while other shoes have their place. Google barefoot running for the complete scientific breakdown, much better info that anything I can say although I've posted those links too and they immediately get swallowed up by pages of queefing fags like plunkey. Good luck to you, hope you and thandz are twinflames living it up!!
