ANTI Style Battle: Vibram Five Fingers vs. Embellished Loafers

Vibram FiveFingers Komodo Sport – $100 | Mark Nason Verano Loafers – $64 ($129)

The case AGAINST Vibram Five Fingers:. These are somewhere between wearing only socks around town and sporting a pair of those gimmicky shape-up shoes.  Indeed it’s true that we weren’t born with shoes on our feet.  We also weren’t born with clothes on, yet we wear articles of clothing that do more than sheath our protuberances.  There’s a reason why the cod piece went out of fashion.  The five fingers are an individually-toe-wrapped step beyond wearing running shoes everywhere.  At least with the loafers it’s an attempt to make yourself more presentable, albeit an awfully misguided one.

The case AGAINST Embellished Loafers:. Look at them.  Holy sh*tballs.

Your turn.  Which is the worse option of the two?  Grit your teeth, curl your toes, and leave your vote below.
