"Vibram Five Fingers!"

 

No. No. No.

 

People will laugh at you and call you monkey-boy!

I will rather be called a monkey boy than having a case of shin splits again.

That's interesting to hear. I've been looking at running in Five Fingers too. Do you run trails in them? I see they have just come out with a version that has more tread.

 

I did my first trail run in them at Groenkloof about two weeks ago, did ok for the first 8kms. I was in my Bikilas but my feet took a pounding. Next trail run will be done in the KSO Trek Sports, which are more for off road running, they have a thicker rubber lining.

Seems a bit late, considering you've bought already, but for what its worth, Inov-8 shoes are quite simply phenomenal. I'm now using their road and trail shoes and have never been more comfortable in a running shoe. Highly recommended.

Also my weapons of choice... U need to find something that also suits the kind of terrain you will be running on - trail shoes dont do so well on the road!

 

The right shoe is also going to save you a lot in the long run - cheap shoes = many physio appointments. Like a good bike setup, shoes are even more important due to the pounding on your knees from the impact.

 

My wepons of choice too , but I run Asics offroad too! Gel Trabuco - like the Kayano's I wear on the road, just funkier colours and a bit beefier. Anima Sano In Corpore Sano. I doubt I'll ever wear other running shoes...

Go Natural.... Natural = LESS injuries and WAY MORE FUN!!!!

Just take it easy in the beginning.

INOV-8!!!!!!

 

I have the INOV-8 Flite 195 and I use them on and off-road.

They are AWESOME!!!

I have the 195, as good as they are , there is no substitute for that natural feel you get from the Vibram's.

Can't wait for the Komodo's in September.
