Vibram Five Fingers

no way dude, i love my sprints. i rock them everytime i lift or crossfit

 

hell yeah Sprints FTW

 

alright, i can deal with that, i use mine for boating (which includes beaches and walking up a 30 ft cliff to jump, as well as the beach and what not)
they always end up get a lot of junk built up in them

 

I have the Classics, Sprints, KSO's, KSO Trek Sports. To save you guys money, they all serve pretty much the same purpose, unless you do alot of running on cement, I would recommend the Trek sports or the Bikilas.

 

Im on my 3rd pair, I got the KSO treks and love them, only draw backs are you have to break your feet into them, wear them for an hour or two then switch back. I will say that my back and hips feel bettter after wearing them. The only major complaint I have is the fabric between the toes lets every little sharp blade of grass or twig in.

 

I Just did 1.5 mile in mine. First time running in them and they were great! Sure the balls of my feet hurt and calves were aching but I run on my toes in normal shoes so it wasn't too bad. I walked a ways after the run to stretch my calves back out and cool down and everything feels fine!

 

Ok so i got my first pair. after much debate and thinking they are the ugliest thing on the face of the earth i went ahead and got some. I got the flows and started running in them and wow. i still think they are ugly but i am very impressed at how comfortable they are and how weak my lower legs were. After the first run (about 2 miles) the tops of my feet and up the front of my shin was killing me any time i moved my foot. Took a couple of days to go away and now i feel great. I have been running about 3 miles every other day now for a week with them and its awesome. I am getting the usual tightness in my calves but i am totally sold on these things. I will probably get a pair of the KSO treks for hiking and wearing out and about.

 

I HAVE a pair and most of the time they smell like shit but great shoes

 

lol i think you can throw them in the washing machine.

 

i do like all the time if they get wet at all they just start getting stanky

 

Get the KomodoSports....they are the best ones I have. They are great for cross training and road running. I wear them as a daily sneaker.

 

Are the kso's the better ones for water/trails? I looked at a pair a couple weeks ago.....pretty damned comfy.

 

Not the standard KSO the KSO Trek Multi-sport would be your best bet for trails and water. Similar to the KSO but the bottom is thicker. When you step on a rock with KSOs not so fun.

Komodosports are my favorite, but I do wear my KSOs a lot.

I just got the bilka ls's. They're more comfortable than any shoe I've ever worn. So far I've only lifted in them.

 

Damn all these good reviews have me wanting a pair! I'd use it more for hiking and kayaking, Treks are the way to go?

 

the treksports are great

def one of my favs

 

Ordered the Komodo Sports online after trying on a pair at the store. I had purchased a pair at the shoe store, did the mistake of trying them on with out socks, took them home, tried them on with socks= a little too snug. So I returned them, and ordered one size bigger online, cuz they didn't have the size I needed in the store.

This new pair fits great, now I just have to go try them out.

 

I love my VFF's just ran a 1.5 mile run in 11:23 which ended up being over 30 seconds quicker than when I ran it in sneakers. But there was alot more then just the shoes with those results.
