haha...maybe. You should check out the new FJ shoes before you declare these as the ugliest.

[Frankensteins Monster]

There was just a quote about getting a free bowl of soup with those. I was about to reply with "Win." It was a fitting quote by the mod that made it.

[GamecockGolf]

Any release date or model name on these yet, They may be ugly but they offer unbelievable feel for the course. Reading putts takes on another dimension with Five-Fingers.

[nova6868]

There they are! The Vibrams FF golf shoes! I told you they were coming! Haha!

I don't care how ugly they are, I'll be sporting them this summer!

[YMark]

I'd golf in ice skates before wearing any of those. Just when you thought Crocs couldn't get any uglier.....

[dutxdeanster]

Can't go there with Vibram...changing of the game and everything else...

[gpugliese]

[krcno]

Those are the most hideous looking shoes I have seen. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was a Saturday Night Live gag.

Vibrams are great. Try them and you will change your tune.
Need a more basic color scheme if they want to sell to the golf masses.

[lenny318]

Actually I might! Haha.
But still ugly......

[fore_life]

Those crocks look like something hipster Frankenstein would wear

[MDyer21]

Can't wait to see someone wearing those single toe shoes on the course. As soon as I spot them I am going to point and laugh! Jk. Not my style, but im sure its a niche market out there somewhere

[cwolfson]

Simply awful. Ill stick with my fj classics, icons and puma amp cell fusions.

[WRXClarky]

Don't knock those Vibrams until you try them. I haven't wore that brand yet but I do have some experience with the New Balance Minimus shoe. I played rugby for 25 years and have been competing/coaching freestyle wrestling for over 30 years. Both of these sports demand good agility and balance at all times. I would argue the golf swing demands a similar level of agility and balance. If you have any athletic talent in your body, your agility and kinesthetic awareness ALWAYS increases in bare feet. You can feel your muscles tense sooner and respond with your feet in a quicker more accurate fashion. This is fact. Now, if you aren't athletically inclined and your kinesthetic awareness is non-existant, then these probably won't help you as your body won't naturally react to the stimulus provided. But, if you are fairly athletic, and you wear these (which is as close to bare feet as you can get at the moment) you will notice stimuli during your golf swing you just can't get in shoes. I'm not saying that is a good or bad thing. I am saying it is for sure and it may improve your timing, balance, etc. if you are kinesthetically aware of what is going on in your feet and legs.

I know they aren't the most attractive things but I am going to try them anyway to see what they offer me in feedback instead of just dismissing them right off the bat.

However, I will never ever play a white driver. That my friends just can't help anyones game. This is also fact.

If you wait till fall you would get a hefty discount.

[Florida Gator]

Five fingers and True are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn on a golf course. More options this year.
