I love to work in running shoes. I actually need to replace my go-to pair right now. As mentioned, they're made to move around in - and that's perfect for me. When detailing, I'm either moving around, sitting, kneeling, or laying down AKA moving around or not really on my feet.
I am interested in these funky looking shock-shoes you guys have mentioned now though...
They are called Vibrams "Five Fingers". They are very popular in the "barefoot running" crowd.
