I would like to try this. But these 'shoes' do look very weird.

VFFs are GREAT shoes. Unbelievably comfortable and you can wear them all day.

If you buy the kind the guy is holding, and you aren't a girl, you will look weird wearing them. But if you buy the kind the guy is wearing, it's not so bad: those are KSOs and they cover the foot all the way--they have all-black and all-brown so they don't have to look that weird.

They're really hard to size, though: the only reliable way to get the right size is to try them on in a store. There are a lot of stores that have them, go out to vibramfivefingers and use the store locator.

Moving this video to garmachi's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Switched to Vibram five fingers about 5 months ago now. Best thing I ever did. Took a lot of time, but it was totally worth it.

Been seeing more and more people running in these in the last year...

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter garmachi.

When I was young I didn't have any problems running...as I got older I got these awful shin splints and my knees started hurting a lot. Switched to training in Vibrams and those problems are a thing of the past...they just feel better to run in and they make my legs stronger.
