View Full Version : Five Fingers Trek Sport as Camp/Hike shoes?
Does anyone use Five Fingers to hike in or as camp shoes? It seems as if the Trek Sport sole would be excellent for water crossings.
In other threads people have said it's a poor camp shoe for two reasons. 1) It doesn't breathe that well. 2) It takes too long to put on.

And they're sooooo ugly.
My mother calls them Gorilla Toes ... however, I have no problem putting them on, even with wet feet ... maybe I'm part Gorilla?
I wear mine with Injinji coolmax or wool ultralight socks.
I'm probably going to use them on my Flip-Flop Thru later this summer.

I love my pair, but they don't breathe at all. I have to take them off every few hours to air out my feet or they really start to get pungent, and that's not a problem I have with any other footwear.

I used them on a short 4-day hike as camp shoes and was happy with them. I liked having a different feel after spending the whole day in boots. I plan on carrying them through maine this summer to help with fords.

They're too heavy, also. I'd go with a pair of "natural" running shoes instead, as they'll give you more options.
