I've found Vivo's so inconsistent with sizing that I've kind of moved on. Two identical shoe models in the identical size can be drastically different in my experience.

As much as I love my Bikila's, I've decided to grab some shoes for Crossfitting and other runs.

Picked up a pair of Innov-8 F-Lite 195's at the Clymb - half off today. Shameless - but here's my invite link.

I'm also going to grab a pair of NB Minimus - can anyone tell me if the toebox spreads a bit? The don't have a wide in-stock locally and my foot is right on the edge, but it's a nice solid cozy fit.

Cheers

I grabbed another pair of oaks. The runners I wanted sold out fast. Oaks are prob my all time fav casual shoes. I wear everything vivo in 44 and I'm torn if the runners will be a tad big since everything except my suede aquas are a tad big....

Anyone have experience comparison of runners to oaks and aqua sizing?

As the title states, the clymb is once again doing vivobarefoot's for soover Half off today again...

My experience with the clymb has always been great. I'll be ordering more vivo's today....

The price is right.. If you need an invite.. Here you go...

Sweet - should be here too.

TheClymb has Vivobarefoot's for over half price again.... I've ordered multiple pairs from the Clymb without issue. Awesome deals.

Here's my invite link http://theclymb.com/invite-from/kingsville.

Evo's $54.98  - all sizes available as of right now
Neo's $49.98


Lot's of woman's Vivo's too

just an FYI, after ordering it told me I could expect my shoes by July 8 and the long delay is because they make these "Deals" with the manufacture.... the after-purchase email says something like "Our customers thing this is fine considering how great of deal they get"

Thanks so much! I just scored a cheap pair of Vivobarefoot Dharma's... Debating the Evo 2 purchase.

FYI - $1.00 shipping code can be found with a quick google search.

Pretty sweet.

I wimped out last year and ended up wearing running shoes.

This year, I'm only packing my Bikilas..

I'll let you know how it goes.

Yesterday I had my first appointment ever with a chiropractor. I had a little lower back pain and I wanted to see if he and some electric ultrasound could work it out.

During our initial discussion he asked about habits and exercise. I told him I ran barefoot or in VFF's. He made me do all sorts of weird poses and then proceeded to tell me that I didn't have the body or biomechanics to run barefoot.

I found it interested since I used to run with shoes and experience a lot of pain. Last year I jumbled when running my fair half-marathon... Do I run in my VFF's or shoes? Because I had never ran the distance I panicked and ran in shoes. I had swollen ankles and was out of running for almost 2 months after that.

Since then I've run exclusively barefoot. Since then I've had zero injury. Zero pain. Zero strain.

The only issue is this lower back kink which I am attributing to working at my desk all day and a ton of driving we've done lately.

Anyways, just felt like sharing this.

My toes are def. snug tight against the pockets. I've ordered a 43 and will give them a go.

Meh.
I ordered one size up.

When they arrive I'll make a final decision.

The more I keep the bikilas on my feet the more I wonder if I can pull these off. They are super tight in the toes right now especially the big toe, but with a bit of stretch they could be perfect.

Going a size up I might end up in that same situation too big.
I dunno.. Silly vibram.

I just got my bikilas - same size as KSOs and they are very tight. I think I need to take em for a run to find out.

I am SOOO torn about what to do. On the one hand they are snug as a glove. I couldnt wear socks with these if I wanted too.

One the other - they are kinda tad nice this snug. Going up a size might be a big mistake.

Not sure.

THats what I though Jimmy. THey are physically shorter though when measured with a tape measure.
I'm going to have to size up I think.
