Running shoes with toes
I have seen this shoe many times and have been told that they are the best. I have also heard from many people that they do not conform to AR 670-1. I am not sure on the true answer to this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I personally think they look like crap but don't want the way I feel to push me to telling SM's that they are not allowed to wear them.

I don't have an answer to the 670-1 question, but I have the Vibram version of those shoes. Yes, they look ridiculous, but they sure are comfortable!

I have checked through various companies that make these and they are called a running or training shoe.

It's actually the DA PAM 670-1 SFC William Swartz Jr but you are correct, they are not authorized, I posted the wording from the reg in my answer.
