Barefoot Running Question18: Vibrams vs Achilles

http://www.howtorunbarefoot.com

Glen asks:

"I started feeling a soreness in my lower Achilles while running with vibram five fingers KSOs...and i think its do to the pressure the back strap has on the lower tendon...I've since switched the running based model of the vibram which does not have the back strap any longer....my question is could it be my form that needs adjusting? or is it more the shoe that caused the soreness? If you have any idea please let me know=) appreciate it."

Awesome question... I noticed the same problem with my first KSO run :) check out the video to see how to fix it!

I like your videos, informative and well explained I think.

You mention all these things on your site, but I can't really find them...

I think you could use an upgrade to your website.  I could make some suggestions if you're interested.
