The main advantage of proper bike shoes is power transfer to the pedal. The sole of the shoe is rigid, allowing for maximum power transfer. Shoes for running or other activities will have flexible soles, which will lead to power loss, and thus slower possible times on the bike. I can only imagine that the sole of the fivefinger is even less rigid.
