A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

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?
Never.
Right? This is some next level Balenciaga shit happening.
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.
I still love the idea of Vibrams and the five fingers were so fun but I just never wear them...
The Fingers were the only Vibrams available at the time, I think; I may have had more success with something less fussy.
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.
Yup, I swear by hiking boots with Vibram soles, and have for over a decade.
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.
Oh! That could have been it, but also runners aren't exactly a healthy standard, those weirdos are cool with bloody nipples. /s
Not to mention trench foot and the wide variety of other diseases this would encourage. Shoes are breathable four a reason. This just feels like owning nothing and being happy about it, but shoes.
