Comment on Repaired My Vibram Five Finger KSO’s by Michael Carroll

Dude – buy a new pair. You will have a new experience all over again. Or just ditch them and go barefoot. I have done both.

Thanks for the post…

Love the Bikila’s — gives me so much more flexibility when the feet are a bit tender and I need just a bit more cushioning than the Sprints or KSO’s. Sprints rub my achilles wrong – that is why I love the KSO. Thanks for sharing on my blog…

What your doing is slightly more strenuous than the KSO’s seem to be purposed for. It is awesome they still are holding up despite that. You need to get a pair of the KSO Treks man. They are the same idea just slightly heavier duty for trial stuff.

Michael,

I ran 2010 IM louisville barefoot at it was 100 degrees, so yes it can be done. As far as people giving you “crap”, it doesn’t happen. Everyone was so flabbergasted and thought I was doing something special. It was great because it kept me conversing the whole way explaining how I was just as crazy as anyone else doing an ironman. Had a few people offer me shoes/ask if I needed a medic but for the most part everyone was just stunned. Be sure to do a couple 20 mile runs, but it is highly likely the barefoot part will be the least of your concerns.

Best of luck!

Interestingly enough, the past week I’ve been logging some serious miles in my VFF Sprints and they have already surpassed my KSO’s as my favorite “shoes” to run the pavement in. I love the thinness/flexibility of them. The more I read about the Bikila’s the more I worry that they will have too much structure and take away from what has made me enjoy the Sprints so much these days…
