People say they think these are cool all the time (which is weird cause I think they look a little weird around the toe).  But I bought them because my barefoot runners were too cold in the winter with my toes spread apart.  So these work as barefoot runners, but I can put athletic socks and wool socks under them in the winter.

This is the size I usually wear in sneakers, but sometimes I wear a 1/2 size smaller than this in other shoes, so I'm not sure if I bought big to put socks under.  I don't think so.

I do really like to orange color!  (My kids do too, especially when I pair them with purple sweats and a green jacket and wait for the bus with them before I run!)
