I just found out about these things, Lovelies. No, they’re not shoes that gorillas wear. No, they’re not even shoes with pictures of gorillas on them. They are these things (above).
And do you want to know the REALLY scary part? According to Entertainment Weekly, they’re going to be the new Crocs.
Run for your lives!
Apparently, Gorilla Shoes are ergonomically designed to mimic walking barefoot. WHO CARES?!? Those rubberized, separated toes are the grossest things ever.
Would you try a pair of Gorilla shoes, Lovelies?

I like the first picture, they look cool. Id love a black or brown pair to wear on my jeans as casual wear. Love the idea. so much better than crocs. I despise crocs. These at least look comfortable. It’s a win for me.
guest
note to self: great gag gift for a relative for christmas
guest
i read somewhere that they’re better to run in.
guest
burn them now!!! i think these are 34892394 times worse than crocs….
guest
wow. thats so wrong
guest
I’d take these over crocs, but I would probably never wear them out of the house. They look comfortable and I here they are more supportive than running shoes.
guest
These would be the best beach shoes ever…. not barefoot so no worrying over burning your feet on the sand but you still get the feeling.
That and for dancers… this could easily be an alternative to jazz shoes.
Long shot I know but it is innovative even if it gives rise to skepticism.

Entainment Weekly is wrong. Those things will FLOP!!
guest
those are fucking ugly.
guest
I certainly wouldn’t wear them out in public but I feel they would be a good replacement for water shoes. Although not everyone’s toes are the same sizes, so I feel they wouldn’t fit a lot of people.
guest
idk…the stuff between the toes might piss me off to much! haha
sunflower / 272 posts
I would wear them, but that is because of two things. One being they would be comfy for dance, and the other being that I think the more “natural” feel of the shoes would be great for someone like me who does not like the feeling os socks/shoes. Too constricting to me.
@chell_kicks_08@xanga - Completly agree on your dancer shoe sentiment. In some forms of dance were dancing barefoot is almost required, but maybe not the most safe, these would be great! Here is hoping they come out with “flesh” colored ones!
sunflower / 287 posts
These are pretty old. Runners have been wearing them for a while.
guest
They are the ugliest thing everrr.
guest
They aren’t for fashion they are for running
so why even ask if they are “hot or not”
orchid / 179 posts
=[ I like them. They’re good for wading in the water.
guest
I’d like them better if they put a “shoe-like” front on them. XD
As they are, they remind me of Avatar. XD
guest
Way to be a knockoff of toe socks, which aren’t even comfortable.
guest
I read about these a while ago, they’re actually supposed to be really good for you or something.
rose / 917 posts
…………err umm not at this time
guest
@chell_kicks_08@xanga - yeah i was thinking those would be awesome for improvising (dancing) outside! :] i prefer dancing barefoot, but that’s hard to do out on pavement. the thing is, it doesn’t look like there is much arch flexibility in the shoe. pointing your toes would not be so swell.
guest
they’re actually called five fingers and they’re made by vibram. they come in six or seven styles. originally designed for outdoorsy and sporty types, they’re actually ridiculously awesome for running. the first time you run in a pair or vibrams after you’re used to regular running shoes, you feel your workout 100% more.
i wouldn’t just wear them out and about if i’m trying to look stylish, but if i’m already gonna be rough from a workout and need to run by the store, i wouldn’t think twice about going as is.
guest
omg i dont think i would ever wear those!
guest
SO HOT!!
guest
Fuck mimicking, I just go barefoot.
magnolia / 1030 posts
ugly, but i REALLY want to try them!! they look so comfy and natural. I’m surprised toe shoes werent invented sooner…makes sense!
guest
They feel weird at first, but they are extremely comfortable!
dahlia / 2012 posts
@thevillagestar@xanga - I’ve been wanting a pair for running, myself. That, or some simple huaraches.
They’re the same basic idea — running as barefoot as possible while still protecting your feet.
guest
I have friends who wear them. I hope they’re not the “new Crocs” because there’s actually a benefit to wearing them and they’re more inconspicuous than Crocs (as in – you don’t notice them unless you look at the person’s feet).
guest
First off, that’s disgusting. And second, if I see anyone wearing those, I’m going to crush their feet with a mallet!.
guest
Yeah, I’ve heard about them for running before. I think they look great. I’d get a pair.
guest
I long for those to be brushed over my bum bum.
guest
Hey we need a link on these. Where do you get them!? THAAANKS
guest
They are really good for your feet. I see them all over my college campus. And I would totally own a pair for running.
guest
They’re actually really cool shoes, and super comfy. The sprints look better! Open your mind a little, you sound like a snob!
sunflower / 490 posts
eh. ewww.
guest
wtf those are horrifying and don’t even qualify as shoes!!!
guest
this would work great with a awesome pair of toe socks!!!… Oh BOY
guest
I don’t really like having stuff between my toes. It’s uncomfortable. I wonder how these would feel though. They are ugly though.
guest
NOT HOT at all! T___T
sunflower / 271 posts
one word..hideous
guest
dirt.
guest
@Shock_Every0ne@xanga - because people have started to wear them as casual shoes, not just when running. they’re expected to replace crocs, which many people wear all the time.
personally i think they’re fine for running, but i hope i don’t see them become a staple in people’s wardrobes.
guest
walking barefoot is healthy and for better posture… that’s why people care. and tehy aren’t that bad looking! my friend at school has a pair. they look strange at first, like toe socks, but when you realize what they are they’re neat. everyone is always so curious about them. but they have some serious benefits. they’re not all that strange. but they’re just not for me.
guest
@sunkissedsexy@xanga - I agree with you.
dahlia / 2942 posts
There’s hard material between your toes. How can that be comfy?
guest
If I had no arch left, sure.
guest
I would totally wear these
guest
Bahahaha, as odd as they are, I would wear them! I wouldn’t buy them though, so I guess if I was given them…
guest
i want the ones on top
guest
those look fun.
orchid / 201 posts
BTW this design has been around for a while now.
sunflower / 391 posts
They’re just like ultimate toe socks.
guest
VIBRAM FIVE FINGERS I am seriously in love with these shoes, i’m dying to get them.
They’re designed so that you run as if you’re barefoot. Conventional running shoes actually deteriorate your knees over time, as they continuously put all the weight on your heel, which isn’t the way humans are naturally designed to run.
By the way, you ask who cares? People like me care. I have a bipartite sesamoid that makes walking uncomfortable unless i’m barefoot. They are more than a trend; they’re supposed to have medical benefits like this.
guest
Lol I will have to pass on that one but to each their own
.
guest
They are usually worn by runners. Barefoot running is supposed to be better than running with shoes. But people avoid barefoot running because of pebbles, dirty roads, etc. but these protect your feet so you can get the full benefit of running.
orchid / 217 posts
Three comments:
1. If you think feet are ugly (like I do) then those shoes gross you out on first glance.
2. I can imagine the foot oder after sweaty, hot running in those “gloves for your feet” would be nasty.
3. I would be annoyed by the fabric between my toes.
Toe socks are gross and annoying enough. Now “toe shoes”
guest
@Nope_Ive_Never@xanga - That’s a good point about the difference in toe sizes making these potentially hard to fit.
sunflower / 273 posts
I don’t think I’d wear them anywhere except maybe he beach. But between these and crocs these would win
guest
those are so ugly!
guest
A friend of mine has a pair, he uses them for rock climbing sometimes. But they were specifically made for that purpose.
guest
I actually know a guy who owns, and frequently wears, a pair of these. From first hand experience, DO NOT WEAR THESE. They just look so ridiculous.
guest
oh, humans. look at us going back to our primate roots.
orchid / 201 posts
they are pretty awesome for climbing things. and I’ve heard they’re very comfortable.
hydrangea / 89 posts
YES!
…only because i’ve been walking barefoot my entire life (with exception of going out of the house)
guest
Hahahahaha!!!!! Who came up with this ridiculous idea anyway?
guest
I am in shock people would actually give them a try. Those things are hideous!
guest
I have these. I have the Vibram KSOs and I actually like them. They are fun to run in though I don’t run in them often because I just never let my body get used to them [it's works your calves a lot harder than wearing tennis shoes].
guest
they are funny. I’d wear them.
guest
Not!
orchid / 234 posts
ugh!

I want a pair…NOW!

I would love to try them : ). But only in the woods. Where no one can see me.
guest
WUT?!
guest
hahaha those are awesome.
i’d be sticking my feet in people faces and wiggling my toes all day!
guest
@princessremy@xanga - yeah i figured they are probably awesome to run in as well
daisy / 570 posts
@Shock_Every0ne@xanga - agreed,
i found the “who cares?!” quite insulting since they’re actually good for running and not fashion … you you know who cares ? people like me who like to run.
http://www.healthkicker.com/710984006/my-new-monkey-feet-running-shoes/
according to health kicker, “I’ve had lower back pain for a long time, and when I run I get shin splints. These shoes are supposed to help cure that… and in fact, dramatically reduce running injuries.”
guest
those are SO FUCKING UGLY
guest
Now, for the beach and playing the sand or walking around but wearing them out and about, no.
guest
I saw a guy wearing a pair today and I was so confused! These are weird–they look like workout shoes. They’re ugly, but I would think acceptable in the gym. But not out in public, like this guy was doing.
guest
I don’t think the purpose of these are to be cute but for what they said. Extreme hikers who want to swim, run and climb crap without taking their shoes off. Everything can’t be fucking rainbows and unicorns.
guest
I’ve seen these since like last year. A guy at my school wears them and it freaked me out one day cus i thought he didnt have any shoes on. It grosses me out to be honest.
guest
lol, i might just get them because they’re funny.
daisy / 505 posts
i dont think theyll take off. it seems like that would be v. uncomfortable
guest
They have been around a while. I tried on a pair last year just because they looked so rediculous at a outdoor sporting goods store.. OH MY they were comfortable. took a minute or two to get over the toe wedgie feeling, but then it was amazing how comfortable they were. I could not justify spending so much on them when I dont think I could wear them in public…. but if I found some for free I would for sure wear them around the house… and climb trees and… on rocks, and all over the place… alone.. so no one would make fun of my sexy toe feet.
guest
My boyfriend has been rocking a pair of these since they first came out. They look silly but he claims they are the most comfortable shoe he owns. who doesn’t like walking barefoot?!
guest
umm..i do not like them and will not have a try either

guest
i’ve seen those shoes on my brother’s mag!!! frankly, they look weird
guest
my teacher has a pair of those, they’re actually pretty cool.
they aren’t daily shoes, they’re for outdoor stuff and they’re supposed to be way more comfortable and a lot better for your feet.
guest
Uh! There’s this one kid at my school who wears those ugly things all the time! I agree – the separated toe thing is gross!
guest
I wouldn’t be caught DEAD wearing these in public, but if they’re really like walking around barefoot and if they’re affordable, I would consider getting a pair just for wearing around the house/yard. Not that I would need them.. But it would make my feet feel cleaner than when I walk around barefoot for real. My pups shed and they get pretty dirty outside and then drag it all through my house and it ends up stuck to the bottom of my feet. “/

i’ll try them if i dont have to pay for it
guest
there is a guy who wears them at my gym. he’s in great shape. hmmm….
guest
I don’t care if they’re ugly, they’re not for everyday wear.
If you’d actually do your research, you’d know they’re for outdoor activities, made to be pseudo-water shoes, or instead of bulky hiking boots, or for rock-climbing for better gripping.
I think they’re amazing, and I can’t wait to own a pair!
guest
omg hahahaha
guest
just as ugly as UGGs and Crocs.
guest
Those are so ugly. Why? Just why? Crocs were ugly too.
orchid / 153 posts
dude, hello… obviously these shoes are not designed to be fashionable. they are designed to be functional.
this is like dissing the style of a wrist brace or something.
guest
Are they ugly? Yes. Are they the most comfortable shoe ever? Also yes. Had my pair for about two years now.
guest
ewwwww.
it’s even worse than crocs -,-
guest
@merquryd@xanga - also, it looks as if ur feel will start to stink
guest
for dancing, swimming, boating, free running…well anything athletic..DEFINITELY
for life in general? hellz no.
guest
I think they have their place. Hiking, rock climbing, running. Stuff like that.
guest
It’s more for people that are the outdoors type and not really shopping at the mall you know lol…I saw someone wear them when I went to Cancun and it surprised me at first and kept staring at it, but since we were climbing all this rough terrain, it seemed sensible…and the black ones didn’t look so bad.
guest
@makethemakersmile@xanga - I agree!
guest
They look very funny! I will not wear them as I don’t even like the socks in the same style but style they make me laugh.

if they’re better to run in, i’ll get a pair. if it’s for everyday wear…

hey i like it!! good for hiking? no kid, i like it AHLOTH!
guest
to each their own

I agree, they’re the new Crocs.
When you see them on the street, you wonder what the hell is going through their minds and want to burn down every store that sells those.
So yes, they’re the new Crocs.
guest
These may actually be worse than crocs, if that’s even possible. If you want the comfort of walking around barefoot, then actually walk around barefoot. Don’t be a pussy about it and buy some hideous rubber toe-socks for your feet. This is the most outrageously ugly thing I’ve ever seen, and it’s a serious fashion no.
guest
Umm… wtf? HELL NO! Athletes can keep those, but don’t bring those eyesores around me.
guest
Oh heck… why not?
guest
Oh gosh, no! No, thanks.
guest
I couldn’t. My boyfriend can’t stand things between his toes or looking at people with things between their toes. Our friend got a pair of these and he couldn’t look down. Hah.
guest
I heard they’re very good for when you’re out running so yea, if I start running more then would cosider buying a pair.
guest
maybe for swimming? lol
guest
You’re kidding, right?
EW!
guest
oh no! lol

Firstly most of these comments are very ignorant. THESE ARE NOT A FASHION STATEMENT. And as for who cares: You should care. Lower back pain is the largest pain pain problem in the US, these shoes are very effective in preventing pain and a lot of the injuries associated with running.
Human feet were never designed to run in the manner that we do with shoes on, slamming your heels in to the ground when you take a step. You were always meant to land toe first, a very different stride and much more work on your calves but much much better for the long time health of your body. These shoes allow you to do that in an Urban and rural environment where running barefoot is not an option.
For those who think the shoes smell, they are completely machine washable. So you just dump them in the machine once a week and they smell a whole lot less then normal running shoes do!
Also they are nothing like toe socks. I hate those and am not comfortable in them at all.
Do not ignorantly diss things that are both healthy and better for your body, just because your world is all about “how things look” and not whether something is actually healthy or not.

fugly!
guest
WEIRD….
guest
These things are fucking amazing.
What’s wrong with you people.
guest
worse than crocs
guest
sooo weirddd lmao …. people who wear these would want people to talk about them, ugh.
guest
These are workout shoes. Like, I might wear my sports bra to do abs in the gym but I wouldn’t say it’s a fashion statement. This is functional, its not supposed to be a fashion statement. Are running shoes in general supposed to be a fashion statement? No. THe fashion statement shoes are not good for running either.
guest
For the Creature of the Black Lagoon? Yes. For humans? NO.
guest
EWWWWW
wtf!!
theyre hideous.

I’d rather be barefoot. This is just gross.
guest
To all those people who aren’t aware, these have been around for a while. The are incredibly beneficial to runners. So obviously if you care more about looking fashionable than kicking-ass and being health, then you probably wouldn’t like them.
guest
Hot. I love them.
guest
go run in them. DO NOT under any circumstances wear them anywhere where you will be in normal clothes.
guest
Kinda disturbing… =/

I’m almost 50, first half marathon coming up in May. Been trying to condition my feet to run totally barefoot. Ran 12 miles totally barefoot, loved it. Would LOVE to try these for more protection from glass.
