Vibram Five Fingers KSO for Badminton?

[Doju]

I've read this forum and there seems to be a lot of advocates for this shoe. Because of this, I've decided to purchase my own pair shortly.

However, I'm curious if I should use them for badminton. I play a lot of competitive badminton, and my traditional running shoes just don't feel… right. I could buy badminton shoes for about the price of the Vibrams, but then I could only use them for badminton, not the gym, running, etc.

So, what do you think? Good idea for badminton?

Anyone?

I have had a pair for a few years. Love them. Takes some getting used to because of the toes, but I have problems with regular shoes also (feet sensitive). Great for canoeing, climbing trees, etc. My two brothers bought a pair after seeing mine.
