I am in love with my fivefingers! I was skeptical at first.
I thought they looked outrageous. When I started training for my 10k I got
horrible knee pain (runners knee). I was
recommended fivefingers by a fellow runner.
I quickly dismissed this. Mostly
because I didn’t like the few pairs I had seen and I had just purchased my
Asics. I really wish I would have bought
my fivefingers instead. 3 months after I
wrote off the idea of barefoot running my Fiancé asked the KMD Sport LS. When we
got them in the mail I quickly became envious. I had to get a pair of my own. I bought the bikila
- Nothing super fancy. I actually got them on 6pm.com for 39.99$ (free
shipping!). The Male version is even
cheaper, at 37.99$ my roommate also bought a set. Almost 55$ cheaper than my
asics! You can’t argue with prices like that. I don’t think I will ever stop
barefoot running. My knees/ankles feel amazing and my feet aren’t weighed down.
If you buy some fivefingers expect to be sore! You’re using different muscles
to run now. It’ll be worth it!
In addition to my barefoot running, I’ve started
weightlifting. I’ll post more about this later. I haven’t gotten far! Perhaps I
should take some “before” pictures!
