    It appears the 5 fingers are as little shoe as possible

    On my sixth birthday my dad took me and several of my friends to the river to fish. A guy who had been swimming came out of the water bleeding like a stuck pig from a very deep and nasty cut to one of his feet, the result of stepping on a broken bottle. There was blood everywhere. Fifty years on I can still see it. I avoid going barefoot anywhere except in the house or swimming pool.

    Did the same thing myself at about the same age, but playing in a field. Got to move on man...

    Well we'd better stop eating if we ever get a stomach upset.

    Or stop driving after any fender bender or road accident.

    Or stop straight shaving if we ever got nicked while stropping/honing.

    When I went to the west to camp with Wilderness Ventures (think NOLS, etc.) they wouldn't let you walk around barefoot because if you got a foot injury out there you're up the creek. Can't walk out, have to carry you out, which would suck for everybody involved. So you wore tevas when it wasn't boots. It kinda stuck with me. I won't really go around barefoot for several reasons. Some I mentioned earlier in this thread. But that one occured to me as well just now.
    PS- I am wearing my new five fingers RIGHT NOW!! I am so excited I could pee my pants!
