Crazy shoes?

[HeavyFoot]

An advert for these popped up on my screen.

Are they for real, or for the ridiculously rich or truly desperate runner?

They make vaporflies look a bargain.

£975 cool, fancy a pair HeavyFoot 👍🏃🏾😊🤣

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

I’d hire a pair for a fiver, Al, for one run just to see.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

You could buy a second hand car for that price

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

How much? 😱

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Oh my giddy Aunt and what on earth?! That’s. funny 🤣.

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Betcha some of you Google them to find out more 🤣🤣

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10]

I did just look to see if any of the Youtubers I watch have reviewed them - but no. Which is a shame - it would be hilarious! 🤣

Oops - I did just buy a pair of Vaporfly 😊- but they were half price. Love that ZoomX packing foam in the midsole.

These are even crazier.

High heel boots with toes

[Birdlady64 Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Slightly worried that you even know about their existence!😁

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

I have a saved eBay search for "Vibram Fivefingers", which they matched.

That's your excuse and you're sticking to it nowster 😂😂😂

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

OMG now I've seen it all 😱🤣

[tmbtrain Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

😆

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

At that £££ they'd better go out running by themselves! Or turn you into Mo Farah or Paula Radcliffe when you wear them 😂

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Are these similar to the blades worn by Paralympic runners?

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

Good question, I wonder 🤔

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Given that we seem to be targeted by companies based on previous searches, I’m tempted to ask what you’ve been up to HF! But I’m too polite to do that😇…….

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Probably looking for knee braces! Or Ferraris.

And then there's the weird crossovers that are the Croc Martens. Apparently they are a real thing!

A Doc Marten upper combined with a Croc shoe sole.
