    Anyone can have a different, unique experience, but I have had a good one. I have been suffering from achilles tendonitis for a couple of years. I had physical therapy that didn't help. I did all the typical things like ice, rest, NSAIDs, etc to no avail. I bought some Vibrams and slowly added a couple of treadmill runs. I am to the point now where I can run a mile in them outside, but I took my time getting there. My calves hurt so bad when adjusting to them, but once I was adjusted, the AT was gone. I only incorporate them into my run once a week and have switched to a show that has a lower drop than my 12mm drop Asics. I believe they work if you adjust slowly and maintain proper running form.
