wow I just took my first ride with my VFF and it was crazy. I have pinned pedals so obviously it would hurt like crazy to ride barefoot (and it is winter) but the FiveFingers protected me from the petals and i had way better control because i could “grab” the pedals. It was weird going backwards because i could kinda feel what was about to happen/where needed more pressure. So does anybody else have fivefingers/use them for riding?
p.s. how do I upload pictures, I still have not figured in out

I don’t use FiveFingers cuz I just walk barefoot. 
thanks, i usually walk barefoot but it makes my parents mad because they think i will cut myself or get an infection or something… i got these mostly for climbing and riding stuff like that
thanks
i run around barefoot but it makes my parents mad because they think i will cut myself or get an infection or something… and it is winter.

The pins in the pedals will dig into the rubber and leave little imprints.
They are very, very, very hot. Your parents thinking you’ll get cut is believable. But really, getting an infection is far-fetched.
I didn’t like riding in them because they would grab onto the pedals and I could never move my feet around on the pedals.
New fivefingers look ugly, get some dirt on them.
But they will pretty much last forever.
I like riding barefoot with pinned pedals a ton though, it doesn’t hurt once you get used to it. And it doesn’t take long to get used to it if you don’t baby it. Just jump on it and go.
just don’t do any hopping or any drops, you’ll hurt your feet pretty badly.
i’d also suggest not using metal pedals, you’ll destroy the soles.
haha, I just remembered that I used to ride street and muni barefoot. 
Ouch! You must have some very tough feet.
EDIT: I just realized I’ve been following you around on all these threads, maybe i’m you’re stalker.
If the pedals were plastic that would be okay, but metal, that must kill your feet:(
I had hella tough feet, haha. They’re metal pedals.
haha i might try to work up to that. mine are tough but i doubt they are that tough…hmmmm a new goal:p
I ripped em the first time I rode with them so I was a bit gun shy after that. Be careful!
I would totally hate wearing those… It’s bad enough when I can feel lint between my toes, I’d go CRAZY with actual shoe-like sole between my toes. Just thought you all should know 
Should I start-a looking for the six-toed man?
You’re in Alabama. It’s not real winter. Get over it.
A real goal would be to put out cigarettes with your bare feet.
Nothing gets people’s attention quite like doing that.
I’ve never tried Five Fingers, but I love toe-socks.
yeah i know its not a real winter- i used to live in upstate NY… if you are looking for the six toed man try my brother he also has little blue antenna and scales-weird, yeah i like toe socks to
