Vibram Five Fingers review by Dr. Romanov

Everyone has been curious about these new barefoot shoes from Vibram that came out in March. Some fed their curiosity early, others want to hear some feedback. We recently got our hands on a few pairs. For the most part, Dr. Romanov's advice is - try em'. They are fun and unique shoes. There are certain nuances that should be sorted out design-wise, but that is a manufacturing issue. Dr. Romanov has mostly positive things to say about these unique barefoot slip-ons. So go ahead, try-em'.

@thealadar not if you have a lame Windows phone :| I guess I need to upgrade, but so far I like my Nike+, even though there are some things I wish it would do and post.

@0gardner who the hell needs a sensor just get out and run

[moktail]

@siciliano29 Switching shoe styles and trying to run the same way as before, or at full capacity without taking the (considerable amount) time to get your body used to the new experience will cause this.

[thealadar]

@0gardner there are a few outstanding apps (eg Endomondo) for your phone (Android/iPhone) that do more than Nike +. Your phone is your sensor ;)

@YoshiEatsWasabi Well, i can't speak for these particular shoes that the guy in the video is holding (classics or sprints?) and i also can't speak for people who try these shoes as i have never even tried these shoes on or experienced them. I do however own a pair of Bikila's and will tell you thus far i am impressed with this minimalist running shoe. The main danger is when people do too much activity too soon, the atrophied foot muscles, weak ankles and calves need to be strengthened first

@bigboyburnsy didn't @MrBazzzzinga just gave a great example of what might happen with those running shoes? I thought that's what your eyes are for. To read comments that may suggest that these shoes are potential danger for people.

@YoshiEatsWasabi That's what your eyes are for. To see things like nails and rocks before you step onto them.
