I got these for wearing with my five fingers, but i found that they still didn't let my feet breath enough. I now go back to wearing them without socks so that at least when my feet sweat they don't hold that moisture in. The heel "tab" doesn't amount to much of one once you stretch the sock out to use it. I'm just going to use my cheap bundled white/black ankle sock and cut the end off at the thread line for my toes and wear those in my vibrams instead.
