I hear these are great for running? Anyone wearing them out there? Do you LOVE them?

    I have them and I love them. I have not ran in them though, just walk and hike.

    I subscribe to the Primal Blue Print way of eating also, so that is what prompted me to get a pair.

    They stretch your calves like you would not believe, feels so much more natural than wearing tennis shoes or running shoes.

    I don't run, but I love mine. I dislike wearing shoes now.
  • I love mine, I wear then with the finger socks. I have not run in them yet but I will.
    I would not go more than perhaps a few minutes for the first few times and gradually increase (I read that somewhere and it makes sense)
    I also run in flats (like Nike Free, 5's) as well as "regular" cushioned running shoes and I just feel better the closer I get to bare foot running.
    Trouble is we have a lot of unpaved roads here and they are not for anything but pavement or grass, in my opinion.

    Cheers
