I’d like to try running in them. I currently run in a Mizuno Wave Alchemy, a moderate control shoe, as I over-pronate fairly badly esp. my left foot which has a very low but not entirely flat arch.

I guess they’re a lot like Birkenstock’s in terms of time to get used to them… you’re sorta training your foot instead of breaking in the shoe.

Hi M,

If you’d like to talk to someone from Vibram re. barefoot running or almost barefoot running for your article let me know. Also I’ve got plenty of names of barefoot runners if you need anymore.

Best,

I have em and LOVE EM

but, as my nickname is RUNS IF CHASED, they are mainly for yoga or hanging out.

that said, I have a few friends who do use them for running and really really like them (Im doing a magazine piece on barefoot running so Im a vastwasteland of more than you wanna know right now ;))

Despite what I said, I do like the LOOK of these shoes. The toes are really cute. And they are red!

It makes sense, but I don’t like things between my toes!
