However I hated the feeling of these shoes with putting them on and taking them off. I realized what I liked was the lightweight footwear, neutral lift with a wider toe box, and a midfoot strike.
I found racing flats gave me everything I liked about Five Fingers, with nothing that I hated about Five Fingers, and they look like regular shoes.

I haven’t had a need to wear them in years thanks to switching to shoes with the same characteristics as you listed. I just like to mention my experience because so easy to take the piss on folk that wear Five Fingers, but they can be legitimately great.

They still look hideous and there is a place for form over function in our society, so in some measure, the piss is worth taking against Five Fingers. I’ll agree with you though that Five Fingers helped me identify what I needed different in footwear even though I only used them for a couple of months to find a better alternative.
