Skydiving and Running in Vibram Five Fingers Bikilas

Jeremy, sent us this cool pic of him skydiving in his Bikilas which he mostly uses for running. Here is what he had to say:

The jump was fun.  I’ve done it a couple times in the past.

I’ve been running in Five Fingers for about a year now.  Originally, I had a pair of KSO treks.  Ran about 50 miles in them, then I left those out, and my golden retriever ate them.  Then I got a pair of regular KSOs.  I put 600 – 700 miles on those before they started falling apart.  I got the Bikilas the first day they came out, but haven’t run too far in them; the summer heat here in Houston kills me.

There two things I like better about the Bikilas are: 1.) They don’t give me blisters at the seams on long runs like the KSOs sometimes did.  2.) They seem to have a little better traction. The KSOs were easier to get on, seemed to breathe better, dry out faster, and felt a little better overall.

Thanks, Jeremy! Looks like there will be a dip in the temps this week in Houston. It may be time to take to the road in those Bikilas!
