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.

  • Great vid! Thanks for answering my question=) I had started the vid and all of the sudden I hear you say my name, not knowing that this vid was in response to my question haha. Very surreal and cool at the same time. thx again.
