New Balance replaced mine but I did have to pay $15 to ship them back to them first. But if the second pair doesnt last longer I will not buy another pair. In the meantime, I invested in a pair of Addidas Powerlift trainers and use those for lifting on my squat and deadlift days and I love them

Those toe shoes must be comfortable but I don't think I'll ever get used to the look.

i don't like the fingered ones.. but i do wear the merrell Barefoot Shoes ? Shop Barefoot Running Shoes & Barefoot Trail Shoes from Merrell

takes about 2 weeks for the ankles to get strong enough not to hurt your feet..

Update. Ive had my replacement pair for 2 weeks and the sole is seperating from the shoe on the right one. Definitely dont waste money on the New Balance

The five fingers are worth the investment.
