i fancy getting a pair of vibram KSO's and i know the whole "if it's too good to be true..." malarky

so why is this site c.40% cheaper than any other i've found? was happy to pay the £100 but if i only have to pay £58.03 then why not? unless someone can post a cheaper link

[goldblum]

Because they're hugely overpriced in the first place.

And for a gimmick still would be at half that price.

Those things give me the willys.

Why would you?

Thank god, thought this was a thread about Jordan, Katona and Marsh.

Because it looks like a scam website?

The only listed contact details are a gmail address, and the details on the DNS lookup suggest based in China with a hotmail address... Not a site I would *personally* buy from!

As they say, if it looks to good to be true and all that...

only other alternative i can think of is flip-flops which are hardly practical

I tried a pair on at a matial arts show, very odd concept, didn't seem to be any better than my Feiyues.

That and the McAfee and Verisign details are just pictures, not actually links to detail the site is secure.

Thanks you owe me a coffee

[v1paul]

60 quid for a pair of rubber slippers... you think that's cheap

[bonsai]

They're fakes from china.

http://birthdayshoes.com/these-are-not-vibram-five...

I wonder how they would actually compare to the real deal, they could be quite convincing, or they could be woeful.

I have a couple of pairs. Best shoes I've ever bought, but then I like to be barefoot as much as possible anyway. I got mine in the US which worked out a little cheaper than the site in the OP.

[GunShot (Wound)]

My plimsoles were THE BEST..

[Neil H]

Because they're st?

[Flintstone]

You're just jealous.

Plimsolls FTW

[KieronGSi]

Having a webbed toe would mean i couldn't wear these, and no, i'm not from Norfolk.
