I have been using Feelmax shoes last 12 months - mostly Panka. And I have to admire that I love it! The freedom of movements on my feet, feeling the ground and the lightness are incredable. I made a little video on my experiences on Feelmax Panka and Osma (the running shoe wich I used whole winter indoors on floorball). What are your feelings about Feelmax shoes?

No experience with them for me Henri. I'm wondering if you have any experience with them in the winter? I hear that they have wonderful ground feel, but I'm worried about whether they keep the elements out. I'm always looking for good winter footwear for the upcoming Minnesota winter!

Nice little commercial for Feelmax there, Henri. I know Dennis really likes his, but he said the soles didn't last long. I'm guessing that they have since come out with a more durable sole.

@saypay45: At last winter I used Kuuva (bootsmodel - with the same 2.1 mm sole as Osma). It's waterresistant and really light! We had here in Norway hard winter - at the coldest time I put wool sole inside Kuuva. Funniest was - comparing the "normal shoes" - you got as gold as your toes as any other shoes when you were standing still, but when you started to go againg your coldnest dissappeared on your feet (I think it might be that you activate your muscles under your feet when you are moving). Since 09 models Feelmax has changed their sole (co-operation with Continental tyre produsent) and it's "puncture secure" (sorry, don't know excact word) - no problems at all with glass or torns etc.

@TJ: thanks! It might seem that I'm working on Feelmax after that video, but I'm only selling them here in Norway (with much other things). Feelmax is just the first minimalistic shoe I have tried and know it best. Other tested minimalistic shoes are: Vivo Terraplane barefoot and VFF (going to write down my opinion about these when the time is right). Actually I'm testing all these shoes in my daily activities - and ofcourse also unshod :).

As I wrote over: 09 models has new type sole and it's whole other story than previous: it's durable (I have used my Panka over a year - almost daily - and 1.1mm sole is still working), water resistant and unbeliavable grip on the ground. Earlier sole didn't last long - I have some experience with holes after couple of days rough use - 12 year old who liked to "skate" with it on asphalt! "Funny shoes - feels so slippery"...
