Where are some different places on the internet that I can purchase a pair of these. I was always plagued with feet problems while running until I switched to light weight marathon shoes that have no sole to speak of and had great success. I think the Vibram Fivefingers would be the next obvious step, no pun intended.

I am considering cutting back on my running because my knees are in a lot of pain. I recently read an article in Men’s Health about the Tarahumara running style. What do you think of it? Also, I’m flat-footed and was wondering if that might also be an impediment to my running. I don’t want to give it up but I also want to be able to walk when I’m 50. Please help with any advice. Thanks for your help.

I am a cross country runner of age 20. I have been converting to barefoot for about two years now. Since I live on a college campus I need a shoe with a sole to walk around in. Also to start making my transion to all practices on all surfaces barefoot I was going to buy the nike frees for an intermediate step, or the five fingers. My question is does anyone know how long the five fingers will last for. Since they are not designed as a running shoe will they wear out after 200 miles or will they last longer? Also just for a walk around shoe for the winter I was thinking about the five fingers, the frees, or a pair of moccisans; any advice on this topic would be helpful. Thank you guys

I have started running again after taking the summer off and after reading the Men’s Health article, I have used the midfoot landing about a half dozen times. I haven’t had any problems with my knee which normally hurts for a day or so after a run. The midfoot landing looks like it might be an alternative to the doctor recommended swith to…ugh…cycling:( If I continue the midfoot landing, should I change my shoes, maybe the fivefingers, or is it fine to use my the trusty Asics model that I have run in for 20 years? If it matters, I weigh about 215 and I have had problems with Plantar Faciitis in the past that was cured by wearing the proper shoes.

I just purchased a pair of five-fingers from MEC ($79 CDN) and tried them out on the treadmill for a half hour this morning. So far so good. I’ve had some problems with my IT-band this year, and I didn’t even notice a twinge of pain in my knee or hip with these shoes. Loved that!
The one issue I have, and maybe it’ll get better, is some irritation from the shoe seam just by the big toes. Did anyone else have this problem and does it get better?

Vibram Five Fingers: Shoes With Toes!…

I just heard about the Vibram FiveFingers Shoes. After a little bit of searching on the ol’ Google I came across some more info on them.
The legend of Fivefingers goes that Marco Bramani, grandson of the founder of Vibramâ€”the Italian shoe-sole…

Rusty, I would contact Vibram directly about this.

Of course when I go to purchase the Fivefingers from the site the only color in the size I need (46) for 13-14 is the “look at me” yellow.

Know anywhere else to try that I might be able to find not only the size but color I want (any of the colors other than yellow)?
