Given the MSDS ( Home Depot's copy ), I don't think encasing skin in a good idea. Allergic reaction and cancer risks seem to be the largest concerns.

Could maybe wearing a sock help to protect against these risks? IE wear a thick sock and spray the socks (instead of feet) with the flex seal and you have less cancer/allergies?

Or just wear shoes and avoid it all together?

Spray on socks

Maybe if they took the brand out of it, it would be a good idea. I went through a Vibram phase a decade or so ago. I really enjoyed it; being unable to wear them at work, and the added difficulty of putting them on and off eventually turned me off to them, but I felt the concept was great.

For me the worst part was wearing them on any hard flat surfaces always made my feet hurt, I have a high arch and it felt like the pain was due to not having enough support

Yes, concrete was certainly an issue. I figured I just didn't wear them enough to get used to it. So many runners are able to do it.

[–] Kittenstix 2 points 9 months ago

Oh! That could have been it, but also runners aren't exactly a healthy standard, those weirdos are cool with bloody nipples. /s

I still love the idea of Vibrams and the five fingers were so fun but I just never wear them...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The Fingers were the only Vibrams available at the time, I think; I may have had more success with something less fussy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Vibrams also made/makes normal soles that are often found on shoes of other brands too. You may have worn some without even realizing. I did.

[–] theRealBassist 2 points 9 months ago

Yup, I swear by hiking boots with Vibram soles, and have for over a decade.
