Your feet will love you forever!, June 29, 2009

A. Khan "Run for your life (desirun.wordpress... (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews

I have always liked to run but as a middle-aged, overweight, back-pain-suffering man, I have had way too many injuries to ever get into serious running. Every time I increased my distance or started running faster, my feet came back to bite me. I have had ankle issues, plantar fasciitis and other heel related injuries causing me to move to more and more cushioned shoes with customized orthotics. But none of these helped and things kept on getting worse and worse. So much so that I seriously thought about giving up running altogether. Came a day, recently, when was 40 lbs overweight and my left knee had started to hurt. Along with that my blood pressure had gotten worse and my back pains had returned (thanks to herniated discs of a few years ago).

It was only about 6 weeks ago that I heard about Chris McDougall's book, 'Born to Run'. Reading the book exposed me to barefoot running and these wonderful VFFs. I did some Internet research and since I had nothing to lose, I... Read more

I bought these shoes for my wife and I for running and other outdoor activities because I naturally run up on my forefoot and I hate wearing shoes with all the extra padding that only adds bulk. We have had them for several months now and I no longer get shin splints when I run and find that I like walking around barefoot (real barefoot) much more now. Go easy when you start running in them though as you will get very sore because you will use many new muscles. Your calves will get especially sore but they will also look much sexier after you spend a few months running in these "shoes."

Better than blisters, May 18, 2011

This review is from: FiveFingers KomodoSport Shoe - Men's by Vibram (Apparel)

The human body was not designed around footwear. Just as a good shirt should fit the body and not the other way around, good footwear should do the same. The Vibram 5 Fingers is the best attempt at doing this and the KomodoSport is, so far, my favorite of the bunch.

Somewhere along the way, humans decided they wanted to make running, and exercise in general, easier. And so the cushioned shoe was born. I have run in everything from Nike Lunars, Frees, Vomeros, Air Max, New Balances, Adidas Marathons old and new. I have tried them all. The 5 Fingers are simply the best running "shoes" I've ever had. After something never really felt right with my stride in any shoes I tried, I began running barefeoot, which gave me the feel I was looking for, but no protection from rocks, or the occasional blister.

Nike half tried this route with the Air Rift, but don't be fooled, there's no phylon foam or Air unit in the 5 Fingers. I am recovering from a knee injury... Read more
