Vibram FiveFingers Run and More Review

[epohnopulse]

I run barefoot, no need for vibrams. :D

[veganfemale]

Five FINGERS??? As in HAND??? Apart from this, I would love to have a pair. Being vegan, no one would be surprised....

[Kennyponage9294]

Am I the only1 that feels a tingle in my OCD that i feel like hes going to crash into something cause I cant see where he's running ? :P

[hkpdman]

BEST SHOES EVAR! I've had my pair for almost a year now. I am going to get the hiking pair next because they look awesome. and you're right you have to gradually wear into them. My legs have doubled in muscle mass since wearing them. very nice review.

[pspence2]

here's my review. I've never seen anybody finish with a respectable time wearing them. I've seen lots of people in them at the starting line at races but never during the races(because they're always behind me). I've never been injured. The shoes I run in were on the guy who just set the american record for half-marathon. I'm sure it feels great and natural but....if it aint broke don't fix it.

[Atlas0561]

Have you had any regret about buying them?

[thegame52291]

heyy man...concrete running isnt that bad(hurts) i suppose right?

[brhasn1]

what if he steped in dog sh*t when he was running in the grass lol

[andrewfitz]

@brhasn1 haha that would suck.

[thegame52291]

@brhasn1 lmfao

[72Yonatan]

@brhasn1

Throw them into a bucket to wash off the mess, then throw them in the washer. They might be comfortable, but they do little to protect the feet.

[garyrreyes]

nice review bro, how is it now after more than one year? im planning to get one...

[andrewfitz]

@garyrreyes They're pretty great! Falling apart because I put them in the dryer and had dogs attach them haha. Besides they, they're holding up fine.

[Jallenbah]

You mean pins and needles :V

Good video.

[nightowl76]

did you really bring a water bottle for your 3 minute "run" haha

[andrewfitz]

@nightowl76 lolol maybeeeee

[scardorn145]

it's like your kicking in the air lol

[mike6459]

the shoes will make your feet, knees and calves stronger...shoes have shut down a lot of muscles

[AJacks83]

bro, I went straight into running with these shoes, and you can definitely feel the difference. No shin splints or anything, but you can tell the difference in the muscle groups it work. Can't wait for another run in them. Do they have groups out in SOCAL for people who have these shoes?

[andrewfitz]

@AJacks83 Yeah pretty crazy eh? I've been running everyday in them lately. I don't think there's a group for people who have the same shoes.. but maybe? If there is I don't know of one.

[SkidRo123]

@AJacks83 dude check myspace, and facebook and stuff.

[AJacks83]

@SkidRo123 thanks dude, I did a google search and found one, there's actually more than I imagined

[sallom899]

@AJacks83 are they good for shin splints ? I stopped jogging because of them, it was unavoidable for me.. one day I could jog 10km and the other I'd jog 2km because of shin splints :/

[AJacks83]

@sallom899 yeah bro, they are probably excellent for shin splints. I used to get them as well, then I picked up a pair of the asics motion stabilizer shoes which is for flat footed runners and they worked well too but from what i've noticed that I haven't gotten any splints at all while running with them, the only soreness you will encounter is calf soreness but it's normal and goes away after you're accustom to running with them

[kapooch57]

don't get hit by a car!

[andrewfitz]

@kapooch57 Haha thanks, luckily I didn't.

[Dosunty]

The terrain in California is so diverse. :)

[andrewfitz]

@Dosunty Haha I know right?

[chrisman191]

I got a pair of kso's and I fell in love with them immediately!!!! They are absolutely amazing!! Thanks for helping me discover these shoes, they have changed my life!

[andrewfitz]

@chrisman191 Oh that's so cool you got some after seeing my videos! Awesome, I'm glad you love them as much as I do!

[AnimeFanFreak04]

i really love how you say everything you're running over. lol. i find it funny and adorable. lol

[andrewfitz]

@AnimeFanFreak04 Haha thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[chrisman191]

Oh, ok. Thanks.

[andrewfitz]

I don't think so. I bought them online actually, the same place I got my shoes... which I don't really remember at the moment... I think it was an outdoor kayaking store, but I doubt they sell them at everyday stores.

[chrisman191]

I'm planning on getting a pair of those and I was wondering where you get the socks. Do they sell them at walmart?

[nittanyfan025]

i like where you live, southern cali..it looks pretty sweet i live in outside philly and i always thought it would be sweet to go there. And london, thats also sweet

[andrewfitz]

@nittanyfan025 Thanks! I just got back from traveling and NYC. I've never been to philly, do you like it?

[rawls3183]

My friends would give me shit too haha haters

[andrewfitz]

@rawls3183 Haha yeah they all sipp'n the hateraid

[Strike577]

I definitely know what you mean about getting looks haha, it's one of the best parts about these shoes ;)

[ToastieProductions]

Try running staying on grass and dirt with your five fingers. They will last longer if you keep them off pavement and sidewalks.

[andrewfitz]

@ToastieProductions That's a valid point, though I'm traveling around the world so avoiding that would be impractical. I've been wearing them everywhere an they're holding up great!

[ederrt]

Are they more comfortable with or without the Injinji socks?

[andrewfitz]

I think they're more comfy with the socks, but in the summer time I'd go without if you're by the beaches etc.

I got a small friction rash on the top of my feet where they rub, but besides that it's fine once your feet get used to it. No different that sandals though.

[coolrats27]

well im 11 nd i run...i hav like track asics that hav a bretty good sole and im lookin in to this and like ya is this good for like cross cuntry and like 5ks and competitons? cuz im gana be getin new shoes soon and i wana know with ones would help me most...thx

[andrewfitz]

I think these would be great at your age. They would help develop your muscles more, and help prevent injeries. I would make sure you have good confidence and nice friends - there's a chance people will make fun of you for these, so if you can deal with it, then do it.

It'll be great for you in the long run, just be aware that might happen... until you beat them in the race ;)

[andrewfitz]

I'm not sure they go that small, but you can check their website.

Yeah, the Injini socks are really nice. Them seem to be made of pretty high quality materials, and the toes also prevent blisters from rubbing skin.

[eriksnoopy1]

I've always hated the idea of socks that go round your toes (a pocket for each toe) and thought these were sick when i first saw them in the store earlier today.. but for some reason i got a little bit curious, and read the booklet that comes with them.. and really started to like the whole idea.. (and those advertisement pics from outdoors hiking and stuff really looked good) Im getting them soon :P I wonder how well they last.. from the research so far seems theres no problems..

[dummyGamer]

is there any 9 or 8 1/2?

[andrewfitz]

Yeah they're really sweet. You might get a lot of shit from people just because they're not the most stylish, but as long as you think they're bad ass (which they are) then it doesn't matter.

Either people love them or hate them - I love them, and am excited you're getting some! Let me know when you do, and what you think about 'em.

[IamDemetri00]

I am so stoked about getting mine!

[ninewestpenis]

pins and needles!!haha oh americana
