Yes. but they are 5 toes
Nah, they were just a hobby jogger fad someone came up with a few years ago. It only lasted a short time and now you rarely see any one wearing them. I knew a few people that had them. Said they sucked for running but were good for a lot of other things. Slippers around the house, swimming in rocky beach areas, canoe or kayaking, small "wet sailor" sailboats. Lots of good uses for them, just not for running in.
Does this get asked EVERY month?
Lol nope. A product of that weird fad where all of the hobby joggers wanted shoes that felt like “running barefoot”. You’d catch me dead running in those.

No. Teva actually lost a class action lawsuit about it.
If you have the foot strength and coordination, why not? Tread lightly though, there’s a reason Vibram lost a class action lawsuit.
