About this deal
The increased rate of concussions in football and injuries in runners shows that this padding isn’t providing the protection we think it is. We’ve already shared our best recommendations for running, hiking, and working out. Additionally, we talked about some shoes that we didn’t have a great experience with, like the V-Runs and the KSO EVO.
For us, with the rubber grip on the soles, nothing works better than FiveFingers. We keep a pair in our gym as our indoor workout shoes. Thanks for the discount link! I am trying to figure out what should best replace my old KSOs (BTW, do not put them in the dryer, they will fall apart beyond Shoe Goo healing capabilities!). I have 10.5″ long feet so I should be a 43 in women’s sizes yet KMD Sport 2.0 for women go up to only 42. (And I realize the discount is for full-priced items and KMDs already on sale.) My old KSO were not properly fit to me many years ago at the running store that has since stopped carrying them (no wonder); they put me into size 38. Following the charts, I should have been a 43. I’d like to try the KMD Sport 2.0 and I see a comment from someone who has 10″+ foot fitting nicely into a 42 women’s. But I believe you can’t exchange sale items. Or I could just replace my KSOs for treadmill and gym work (and be prepared to replace early when I go hiking or use in garden, etc.) and try the 43 and exchange them if they don’t fit. Your thoughts? (Also, it’s sad they don’t still make sage green KSOs anymore. If it was such an iconic shoe, why change it? Was white EVER an option before?!?! Just complaining, ignore.) Reply

Many of the HIIT moves we do like skater jumps shouldn’t be done in a normal running sneaker but instead in court shoes that allow stable pivots and balance without slipping and sliding. This transition plan is provided in a pamphlet that comes with your new Vibram FiveFingers. Weeks 1-2
A few weeks later and rehabilitated, we hit the trail where we left off. This time, we left our hiking boots behind and brought two pairs of FiveFingers each, the KMD Sport and the V-Trek. The difference was immense. And guess what’s on their feet? Not much: thin sandals made from old tire rubber and leather string. In my case, it was runner’s knee, allegedly from running on uneven sidewalks. Still, I happily ran and completed my marathons, thinking no more of it.We used to live in Ecuador, which was the rainiest place we’ve ever hiked — and we’ve lived in two of the rainiest places on earth: Hawaii and Colombia.
