In the Pits: Closed Toe Shoes

So this past weekend I was walking in Vibram FiveFingers shoes around Sea World. These shoes are great for walking in as they are very minimalistic, yet still provide heel protection. Next weekend we're attending the Lone Star Regional in Houston, Texas. As team driver, these shoes would be great for going between the Pit Area and the Field, but my question is, are they considered Closed Toed Shoes? FRC Rules State: When engaged in FIRST activities, all FRC participants must wear shoes that completely cover the entire food. Shoes must have closed-toes and heels to protect against foot injuries, regardless of work location. So, FiveFingers: Shoes, or Sandals?
