Different strokes for different folks. There was a guy on my marathon training team one year that said he couldn't find a pair of running shoes that worked for him. After a couple of weeks he switched to a pair of sandals with a back achilles strap and the front strap that goes between the big/second toes. No socks. He did the rest of the training and the marathon in those sandals, over 600 miles worth. All I could think of when I saw him running in the sandals is I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley!
