Brilliant, start slow though!
By Mike Lovell
I was suffering from "runners knee" for about a week after I tried to run consistently for anything above about 15 minutes (at a steady 10:00 mpm pace). So basically I couldn't get up any kind of decent running schedule, so I started to look into barefoot running. I started walking my dog barefoot and working on strengthening my feet, and when my last bout of "runners knee" cleared up I started thinking about running. I didn't think my gym would allow barefoot treadmill running so I invested in a pair of Vibram's.First day at the gym and I started running and I'd reached the 15 minute mark and no knee trouble, so I kept going and upped the speed and did another 10 minutes. No pain at all. Now anyone who's started running in these knows what I'm going to say next! ...... They REALLY work your calf's because they force you to land on the balls of your feet (exactly as you should run) so about 2 days after my first run damn did I have DOMS in my calves, I was walking around like a croquet hoop! So friendly advice, start slow!After that initial adaption my calf muscles I was fine going forward.No more knee pain, I ran an hour for the first time yesterday (~5.5 miles), I'd have never been able to do that before.

By imperialsucka
I will never run in regular shoes again. I had REALLY bad shin splints for the last two years. One run in these and my shins didn't hurt at all. None. I almost teared up from the lack of pain. My calves were sore for about 3 weeks due to these shoes changing the way I run. Not painful, just sore. I've noticed that I am faster in these. I don't have a big stride anymore but lots of short steps that have cut 2 minutes off my 4 mile run time.I normally run 4 miles M/W/F and 2 miles on T/T. I LOVE these shoes. Never going to run in anything else again!

A slight departure from the original.
By Linh
I found these to be a slight departure from the original five finger concept of "near barefoot running." The tread has become quite aggressive and there is almost what could be considered arch support. Additionally, because of two hot spots created by the internal stitching, I have to wear socks, which creates even more padding and road isolation than found in models like the original KSO and Sprint. The one saving feature that keeps me using them is that there is still no heel cushioning which means I still have to focus on barefoot running technique. They are pretty good for winter running though as long as conditions are dry. The material is warmer than my Sprints (which are my favorite model by far).
