Exchanged my Mizuno Inspire 6s yesterday for another pair, hopefully no blisters this time. Also, Wasatch Running had a pair of vibram five fingers kso in my size (they didn't Saturday nor did anyone else I called) so I took it as an omen to go ahead and get some. 


 

Ran 2 at 8:30 in them, then did one hour Barbell Strength (got lots of strange looks from my frog feet).

Ran another 2 at 8:30, felt really nice.

In honor of the Olympics starting:

If you published a picture like that today, you'd probably get sued by the Olympic Committee for trademark infringement.

You just jumped right into running in those fast. I've had mine for almost a year and you have already logged more running miles in yours than I have. I thought you weren't supposed to be running in your racing flats. Don't you think this is even the next step more extreme than racing flats. Be careful.

Tell me what you think! I have worked up to three mile in bare feet but any more seems like too much.

My new Mizuno Inspire gave me blister too. I have two more new Inspire sitting in the boxes.

Like Kathie, I'm interested to know how you like your VFF.

I'm excited about the Olympics.

Smooth, the Inspire 6 gave me a blister on my left heel, somewhere I don't usually blister. It is a shame that the shoes get tweaked just enough sometimes to cause problems.

So fare I really like the VFF, I will keep you and Kathie posted.

So ... how do feel today after running the Vffs?
