    Those pictures could be of my feet, except yours are slimmer and it looks like your pinkie toe might not curl under enough o attack the underside of the toe next to it. I started wearing Vibrams last September, and I am so thrilled. My feet, knees, toes, hips and back haven't felt this good since I was in grade school.
    The vibrams site lists feet types that they don't suggest their shoes for (awkward sentence?), including hammer toes. But, I've found that the muscles in those toes have strengthened and the separation of the toes keep them from attacking each other. I wish I'd taken a before picture. My toes are bulbous and ugly, but they no longer curl under.
    I do have 5th metatarsal pain from the vibrams, my sports physiologist thinks this is from forcing the hammer toes to straighten somewhat in the shoe causing the nerves to be touchy. But, he likes what he's seeing so much in my feet and knees that he thinks the vibrams are a keeper.
    I wear them all day every day, they aren't just running shoes to me.
