And gawds, but I wish there was a "cold weather" version!<br /><br />Other than that, they rock!Stringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17399293868413376397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-70670933840239856072010-01-28T17:17:46.252-06:002010-01-28T17:17:46.252-06:00I'm intrigued enough to buy a pair, but I'...I'm intrigued enough to buy a pair, but I'm just off the side of the bell-curve they'd made sizes for.<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-46196898041553141412010-01-28T12:44:29.740-06:002010-01-28T12:44:29.740-06:00Project is currently on hiatus due to snow and ice...Project is currently on hiatus due to snow and ice everywhere and me not wanting my feet to freeze. Ordering the insulated version would help, but not in snow deeper than an inch. They apparently used to make a "snow boot" version, but discontinued them as they were just too awkward a compromise.<br /><br />I am less comfortable and there are more twinges in my knees and hips than there were. And yes, it instantly altered my running style, and it was indeed much more efficient. Granted my previous shoed running posture was atrocious, but not having anything between your feet and the ground is a pretty fast natural corrective.LabRathttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-88347818311806133192010-01-28T07:38:54.132-06:002010-01-28T07:38:54.132-06:00I love me some Vibram Five Fingers, Bayou.

I fell into them after reading "Born To Run." What was said in the book, and by several studying the subject seems to make sense, and has helped me to increase my run times and overall strength and fitness level in my legs. If anything, these are some cool shoes, and I recommend you at least give them a brief try.shooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085940732084386201noreply@blogger.com
