    Quick question about Vibrams. I live in Savannah, GA and run downtown. It is cobblestone street in disrepair so there are bricks sticking up and bricks missing in lots of places. Would this cause pain in Vibrams?

    You are definitely going to feel the smaller rocks and edges much more than larger rocks... You could always go with a thicker sole VFF (Trek Sport or Komodo) and add some Ininji socks which will help add a bit more cushioning without adding unwanted support...

    Stepping on marble sized rocks in vibrams hurts but over time it hurts less. I think that the feet learn to sense them before full weight is applied and the body learns to compensate to prevent pain. Also, you become adept at placing your feet where there is nothing hurtful to step on. It becomes second nature.
