    GIVEAWAY! Lems Minimalist Footwear (your choice!) - Expires Friday, February 28, Noon EST

    I completely love the look of these shoes. I wish they were available here. We were recently in Europe but even there they are only available in a couple of shops (in fairly far flung places). I absolutely love the Primal 2 and the Mariners. This is a shoe I'm likely to break the bank for!

    Why some minimalist shoes are getting thicker

    Good points! I'm currently investigating the mileage on the KMD Sports and they seem pretty good so far. I'd be very interested to see how the new range holds up. Vibram will certainly consider this as a marketing strategy: our shoes are expensive, but better value for money because they last...

    Why some minimalist shoes are getting thicker

    It's going to be interesting to watch the development. It seems Vibram has a "max feel" and an "evo" line out. The first is very minimal and the second much thicker. I just hope they keep options available for those that like what is already out there. Otherwise, what's to keep me a VFF runner?

    Why some minimalist shoes are getting thicker

    I was quite surprised to see that Vibram's 2014 version of the FiveFinger Bikila is in fact going to be thicker than the original. Twice as thick, to be precise. Accordingly they've added the word "Evo" at the end. The Bikila as we know it has gone and the Bikila Evo has taken it's place...

    Vibram KMD on the road

    Vibram FiveFingers KMD LS are my long distance barefoot shoe of choice. In fact, they're also my short distance shoe of choice! They are fun shoes and have helped me grow in my enthusiasm for running, keeping me on the road for longer, running further. The KMD Sport LS were recommended to me...

    Hi from Cape Town

    Ah, yes. Jo'burg airport! I'm not a fan but unfortunately it's an African hub so we often have to stopover there. Well done on keeping your wits about you and getting through. Please don't judge SA but the airport though (which I can confirm has indeed improved). Do come to Cape Town - it's...

    Hi from Cape Town

    Thanks guys! It's wonderful to be here and to be a "free" runner. Great to see all the inspiration on this forum too. And fear not Barefoot Dama, I'm getting closer and closer to the ground!

    Hi from Cape Town

    Hello from Cape Town, South Africa! A casual runner who enjoys running the various road races each weekend, I was struck with a horrible back injury. Last year, I finished a half marathon in tears; agony from my back. I expected my running "career" to be over. Chiropractors, physios...
