kind of expensive, but I suppose in terms of price per unit weight, it's a bargain.
Someone showed me those in a catalogue a few months ago -- pretty funny. I like how they use the terms 'Masai' and 'barefoot' to sell it.
$200 to walk naturally? ...wow, sounds like a real deal.
If I'm reading their overblown "user manual" correctly, those things are marketed as an "instability" shoe that forces you to use your core to remain balanced while perched on a big thick rounded slab. What a joy that must be.
On the other end of the spectrum are the 70s favorites, the "earth shoes":

heel is thinner than the forefoot, like a long jump spike.
Yikes! Those are some bold statements! How can anyone believe that putting more material on their feet is going to help them walk "naturally"?!
Would chicks dig me if I wore these?:
