    I'd love to get a pair! Which ones did you get? Are you running in them? What type of shoes were you wearing before?

    I have a friend that owns about 5 pairs of them and swears by them! I bought my boyfriend a pair for Christmas, but he didn't like them :noway: He's got flat feet and some issues with his feet and didn't feel that they were good for him. The company was so easy to work with, giving my full refund back. I want a pair for myself! I heard they are awesome!

    I loved mine for the 2 weeks I had them...before I had worn holes in them in that short time. I was using them to take my dog for walks and went on a lot of pavement (which they didn't warn against) so I guess that wasn't good for them...I returned them for a pair of Keens. They were super comfortable and if you're not as hard on shoes as I am, you could give them a try. I just didn't like the idea of having paid over $80 for a pair of shoes that only lasted me 2 weeks...

    What are you supposed to run on? I've been thinking of getting a pair but all I have to run on is sidewalk...I can't run through peoplel's front yards!

    Yes, have had them about three months. I live in Florida. If I could get away with them at work I would never wear anything else. Probably not while I was pushing the lawn mower, but otherwise. I bought the KSO's and they are holding up fine outside. running in them and walking. Do a little reading on barefoot running, especially proper ground contact. I run on roads, sidewalks, grass, beach, anywhere and they have been great so far. Calves protested for a few days but my legs got used to the change.

    There is different types for different activities... that's odd because I have had mine for 2 weeks and ran on every terrain imaginable and no holes.... hmmm I will include a website for ya'll to look at.

    I don't know, but apparently not the sidewalk because that's where I was :)
