Danny Glover Wears Toe Shoes: Are They Worse Than Crocs?

Last week, veteran actor Danny Glover was honored at the Deauville American Film Festival in France for his contributions to American cinema. Good for him! We couldn't be more proud. Really.

It's just too bad that he wore an awful set of shoes to the event.

No, not Crocs. Toe shoes. Yeah, you read that right. And we bet you can just imagine what those gems look like.

Toe shoes -- possibly the worst form of footwear out right now -- look as if you're not wearing any shoes at all. They're typically worn for physical activities like running and are meant to simulate being barefoot.

All of this is awesome...for the gym. Not for a red carpet (or blue, in this case) event.

activities running meant simulate barefoot awesome gym red carpet event

Listen, Danny. This is how it usually works: When you get honored for something, you typically take your best suit to the cleaners and get your most expensive shoes shined the day before the big day.

You do not wear toe shoes.

But, alas, the "Lethal Weapon" star is no conformist. So he wore the pair of Vibram FiveFingers sports shoes and acted like he owned the place. And we're left contemplating the relevance of these very shoes because of that fact.

So, what do you have to say?

Are toe shoes just as terrible as Crocs -- or do you actually think they look kind of cool?

    No, both shoes are awesome

    The ONLY reason everybody thinks toe shoes are weird looking is that they weren't the first shoes ever made. IF they'd been made 1st and now someone was coming out with the shoe we've all grown up, what we've always known would be the "weird looking" shoe. And toe shoes are so much better for your feet - they actually let your feet work the way they are meant to.
    There is no shoes more weird than the gosh awful "kicker" pointed toe spike heels that women are wearing now.
    I was recently in Las Vegas watching all the girls going thru the casino to the clubs in
    their skyscraper high heels like they owned the place- 3 hours later they came back thru limping and carrying their "feet killers". WHY would any woman WANT to be that miserable?
    Give me the "barefoot" feel of toe shoes ANY day. And by the way, I wear them to work EVERY day myself. Sure they look different. Big Deal!! Give me comfort over style anytime!!!!!

    The point of these shoes isn't fashion. It's exercise. This guy is essentially wearing a pair of running shoes to the event, which is stupid, but then so is this article.

    They are performance shoes. They aren't made to look pretty. They are made to grip the ground like a high performance tire, and they deliver.

    And you're right. But wearing them with a suit to a film festival?

    At least Crocs are comfortable. Toe shoes are probably as uncomfortable as toe socks.

    Oh. My. God. Crocs look better they just look strange. I dont like the look of crocs but I wear them around the house when I'm gardening and they look okay then.Bu I suppose they would look just as bad on the people that wear brightly coloured crocs, knobbly socks and a long skirt. You know what I mean??

    If they're great for your feet, that's awesome b/c I would pay any price to take care of my body. I just wish they didn't look so gross.. like big white feet? maybe they should keep the technology but make them look a little schnazzier

    Crocs have no form. Vibram Five Fingers come in a wide variety of awesomeness. Crocs will always look ugly
