Also, if it is hot out, the pavement burns the feet--I get blisters if I run on hot sunny days barefoot.dbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457585811847604584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281301880604687075.post-90901334025429733872012-04-01T21:04:46.679+09:002012-04-01T21:04:46.679+09:00I've been running in Vibrams since last July (...I've been running in Vibrams since last July (got my first pair in Boston). You're right about sore calves. I had to battle with it for a long time. <br /><br />The longest I've run in them is 30 km (18.64 miles). I almost gave up from pain, but now, it seems I am finally used to them. I cannot imagine running barefoot, though!datadawakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13322738992326667788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281301880604687075.post-12767934895806249322012-04-01T10:54:50.566+09:002012-04-01T10:54:50.566+09:00I ran in the five fingers for a while and it is re...I ran in the five fingers for a while and it is really different from normal shoes. I found that I had to change my stride--shorten my steps and land off my heel. Also, my calves were very sore the next day, each time I did a run in them.<br /><br />I have since "graduated" to just running barefoot. Not all the time, but maybe 1/3 of my runs and never further than 8 miles.dbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457585811847604584noreply@blogger.com
