I took them off to go to bed. Thats about it. Any soreness of feet had nothing to do with the vibrams. Yeah they smelled REALLY bad after that trip |

I'm interested in getting some purely based on the fact that they are machine washable and keep my feet FLAT for leg workouts.
Can't wash my Shox or UA shoes.... |

I wont do squats or deadlifts in sneakers any more. I'll either do it with the vibrams or no shoes at all.

![]() But like we regular users have said before, sometimes you have to work your way up to it. If you get a pair you may find that your feet, especially the bottom will be sore until your feet adjust (your toes as well as they separate), you may also find that as your body reverts to how it should be your knees, back and hips will be achy and sore, but once you reach the point where your body should actually be for the best balance and posture, you're good to go and you will feel better overall. |

Yeah, just another shape-ups gimmick. It's amazing what the hive mind will believe in improvements. I'll pass.

![]() I'll take my docs word over yours any day btw. Research has shown those shape up shoes are crap. Last time I checked, evolution had already made our bodies the best they could be and wearing shitty shoes changes everything from the way your feet are shaped to the way your body has to balance to stay upright. But go ahead, knock something you know jack shit about. |

This is the same bullshit that is spouted in every article I have read. Good for you, you can copy and paste. Asphalt and concrete are not natural, either. Evolution didn't take that into account. I know a lot of shit about this because I have been reading the articles and reading the research on medical pages. All I can find is people disagree on the actual claims that are made about barefoot running. What it really boils down to is what kind of striker your are, if you are a heel striker, barefoot running may progress you into a mid or fore foot striker, which may beneficial to your body type. It's all a lot of guess work both ways. Nothing I have found gives concrete evidence that barefoot running is right for everyone or anyone over normal running. |

So perhaps you should try it before saying it's hype and arguing against something you have no actual experience with. Then you'd have a better basis for thinking it's crap if it doesnt work for you.
I didnt copy and paste anything, I report only what I actually have found to be true. Not a single one of us is saying "you MUST do this, its the ONLY thing that works". We are simply happy to report our good results because we are USING them and KNOW from FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE that we have had good results. Not spouting what we read online or in debates about it. |

There are plenty of people giving first hand experience of shattering their feet barefoot and also long distance runners only using these for short jogs and use their shoes for long distance. Good, you like them. I do not wish to try them based on the research I have done. I have weighed the risk vs pros/cons and came up with a differing opinion on the matter. |
