I've used the Vibram Five Fingers on two separate week-long trips. I plan to use them on my next trip as well, so that means I must like 'em. If stream crossings are part of your route, make sure you have the "shoes" secured so you don't lose them in a strong current. I also carry a pair of the lightest flipflops I can find for use around camp. If the Five Fingers have been wet all day...feet will be unhappy unless you can air them out.
