No, seriously: while technically closed-toed, I'd prefer to see better toe protection than what those offer. Think of a 3 pound aluminum bar falling end-on to your toes, what would you rather have stopping it?

To be fair, my shoes don't offer much protection from that either.

I didn't notice that...but I think it's because in the training for FRC referees it specifically told everyone that 5 toed shoes were not allowed........I don't know why FIRST didn't put it in the manual for teams.....

Good point and to be honest with the amount of padding in 5 finger shoes I would rather drop a weight on those than on my shoes!
