You may have to experiment to find a glue that is sufficiently flammable. or delicious |  FLAG |

| Don't be a pussy. Either walk in barefoot or carry the extra 8 ounces of sandal weight. |  FLAG |

| Wow, congrats on showing us that you've wasted more time on this than we thought. Perhaps you should spend more time shaving your legs to cut down on weight, vaseline them, shove a carbon fiber dildo up your ass, and go climbing! |  FLAG |

| Interesting! Might work well as an all around, disposable sandal. More close up views of details please. |  FLAG |

| Man, that's a pretty sad set of antlers on your wall. Where I come from, you just don't mount anything sub 8pt or sub 17" inside spread. Were you wearing the Mary Janes when you took that beast down? |  FLAG |

| This is an inspired idea along the lines of that 800' piece of webbing Coyne draped down over the Painted Wall in order to avoid having to re-lead the runout pitches on Stratosfear. That worked out well for him. |  FLAG |

Crap it's hard enough to run to the bottom of the canyon with regular approach shoes, let alone those clap trap monstrosities. I can undestand the desire to ditch the shoes or pack but I think it's the name of the game. If you can stand to walk down in those then barefeet shouldn't be much worse. Stop wasting your time on this and start walking on hot coals. In other words, harden the fuck up. Either way, good luck on your invention. |  FLAG |

| JohnL... Your a funny sumbitch! This is the best read I've had since the "Hunger Games: penthouse forum". I thought at first you are pulling the chain of the mountain (read:boulder) elite, then I realize your just an innovative badass! I admire your style! As for all the wankers that reply with serious shit like... Oh wow my vibram douche shoes are light, you should pay $100 to look like a jackass. Go get on your road bike and suck on one-ah Johns carbon fiber dildos... dipshits! You cottled little finniky bitches don't know what innovation is... at least our buddy John can think for himself and doesn't need the most recent REI catalog to tell him how to be a douche. Oh by the way... why is it that cyclists are such a group of bitches? This is a serious question... WTF is wrong with ya'll?!? |  FLAG |

| You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go. |  FLAG |
