Our new poll focuses on recently released product that is beginning to have an impact on our world.
We ask readers one simple question: You gonna cop it or not?
From the "Japan did it first" file, five-toed shoes and toe socks have walked—with maximum anatomic efficiency, natch—into America. Yeah, it may be a bit off-putting to see your little piggies all segregated beneath fabric, but the five-toed movement is as much about function as form. (Just ask Dice-K.) The Vibram FiveFingers shoes stimulate your feet/leg muscles and are said to improve balance, agility, and posture. Meanwhile, Injinji has a full line of toe socks in different colorways that offer a multitude of benefits, including post-exercise recovery and foot therapy. There's all that, plus the fact that some people just like feeling that barefoot steez at all times, word to Ethiopian marathon runners. So, then: Cop It Or Not? See below to vote, for Buy It Now info, and to leave your own $0.02 in the comments...

Creepy. It is just seems to be an affront against nature. Maybe for a 5'1 Japanese girl it is cute, MAYBE. Definitely not for grown folk.

BTW – the www.gistfivetoes.com ones come in a seriously UGLY brown. Customer service says, ‘they are for only serious mudders; mud runners.’ They are brown as dirt.

I have so many friends that swear by the Injinji and now I am hearing professional athletes have discovered the benefits - colors or not these socks rock!
