Bought some vibram five fingers while in New York,

Decided to wear them today for work as a trial..

Results- amazing!

So comfortable, incredible grip on slanted roofs, good feel and grip on ladders. There stupidly light, so feel like your not dragging big old boots or trainers about.

There only going to be good for the summer, but I think their  my new work shoe for definite.

Using wfp wasn't any different (obviously) except you probably feel more comfortable being on your feet all day, it's also nice that they dry out super fast if wet, and can be thrown in the washing machine and dry within a couple of hours.

You can wear socks with them as well - five fingers socks, but today it's warm enough without,

I highly rate them, I thought they'd be uncomfortable, boy was I wrong, the only real negative is the lack of support, but that's really not an issue unless your prone to falling down curbs etc !

After flip flops, they have to be the most inappropriate work shoes imaginable.

Because real men can stand on roofs, fat men break tiles,

Each to there own, for me there amazing, the soles are as hard as normal trainers.

There is no access to the back of this house with wfp, and the customer doesn't let me take the hose through the house, we have to use there ladder for the back, never felt safer than wearing these on a roof, the grip is immense,

I think they look cool!

Standing still in them is all they are good for

Are you desperate for customers?

Shouldn't let a customer dictate how YOU run YOUR business.
