I started running in VFFs - I
I started running in VFFs - I alternate between KSOs (which are really neat-looking, IMO, orange & black variety) and a pair of Treks (with the bulit-up sole). The Treks are great in the cold weather. I could not get my phat toes into the Flows, otherwise, I'd have a pair of those as well as they are designed for cold conditions (so they say). I wear my VFFs only for running / hiking / biking / playing the drums in cold venues... not crazy about their 'closeness' so i don't use them for everyday, routine wear. I get a lot of comments & questions about the VFFs while running, so I get to talk about barefoot running a lot, though i feel a tad guilty because i am hardly an expert.
I'd love to try other minimal shoes. I've never seen any of the other brands mentioned, nor have i been to the Vibram website to look at the 2011 stuff. Did see the Bikilas in a shop last weekend - very interesting!
That said, i am doing more unshod running & enjoying it tremendously!
