I got a pair of these after reading about them. They work great, had some of best runs in years, anybody try them yet, actually making my feet stronger,calves and ankles

That's all I wear to the gym. I love them. Comfortable, stable...nothing beats them for squats, deadlifts, etc.

I agree- that would be a big NO....
I hope those guys that wear them never drop a 45 plate or a 100 dumbell on their foot.

I've seen a couple people wear them a couple times. None recently. Personally I'm sure I could get a great workout wearing an UnderAmour compression fit leotard with some of those non slip rubber pieces glued to the bottom and if I were the last person on earth I might consider it. Until that time comes I will wear shoes on my feet.

You really think if you dropped a 45 on your foot it would make a difference if you're wearing five fingers or regular sneakers?

That's what I like wearing, but I wore my last pair out so I've been lifting in regular shoes and it doesn't feel the same. When I deadlift and squat I just take my shoes off so it's all the same

I wouldnt wear them, a 5 pound plate dropped on your foot in those would do damage.
