My ignorance got the best of
My ignorance got the best of me during spring and summer, and for some strange reason I was bashing Vibrams, that's just because I'd rather run barefoot. BUT, now that the cold season is on the brink (still kicking it barefoot), I will soon be reuniting with my trusty KSO's. I actually broke them out this week while taking my 4 year old to the track and park, and did some sprints in them. I will have to say Vibrams rule!! LPJ, I am not sure if you are talking about new models coming out, because I haven't seen any. But if they continue to keep their original models, I will be a happy camper. In fact, I am going to pick me up a pair of sprints real soon.
There is mass market of minimal footwear out there, most of them junk, at least that's how I see them. The reason I started running barefoot running is my OCD was getting the best of me of trying to find the right running shoe. The last thing I need to do now, is rack my brain about finding the right minimal shoe. Luckly I can rely on one minimal shoe, Vibrams.
Personally I think the bikilias are a shoe Vibrams went into the wrong direction with that model. To me the bikila is a running flat, way to much to shoe.
I still think Vibrams is the best minimal footwear on the market.
