A quiet week for Vibram Five Fingers reviews, this week I’ve only got one to report (and it was from a prior week to boot!):
- Vibram FiveFingers KSO Review at Running and Rambling [KSO]:
It only takes a few strides to realize that you have to change your running form while wearing the VFFs; without any cushioning, your heels will get sore in a hurry if you insist on using the same heel striking gait that you do while wearing shoes. Coincidentally, heel pain is one of the most common complaints from beginners wearing FiveFingers.
(For this reason, and several others, many barefoot experts recommend that you don’t try VFFs until you’ve practiced pure barefoot running for a while; having a completely naked foot forces you to use proper form immediately, while VFFs allow you to “cheat” a bit, which could lead to injury.)
Surely in the week’s ahead we’ll see some new reviews of the fivefingers KSO Trek and fivefingers Moc (and fivefingers Performa)! I look forward to reading them!
