Hi, 24/f.
Okay, everyone. I need the truth about Vibrams Five Fingers. Do you have them? Do they rock? Are they stupid/worthless?
I've been having issues with muscle spasms lately, and running shittily. I'm currently running in Asics about every other day, since August 2011, and have not yet been able to run more than 2 miles at a time before my body burns out in some way - My legs start getting tired, I'm dehydrated, one of my calves is randomly in spasm... My theory is that I'm working too hard for the shoes I'm in, and that I'm resisting all the cushioning, trying to run forward on my feet, and am not able to support that kind of running form in these shoes. SO.
I realize Asics to Vibrams is kind of a huge jump as far as cushioning goes, but...Would they help?
How has your experience been with these?
Thanks!
I have them and they are awesome. However, they aren't for everyone. It takes awhile to get used to them. You should go to a store that has them and try them on first. Sizing is a little different than a normal shoe. You'll have to keep walking in them before you can run.
(Rating: 5) Thanks! I wound up getting a pair, thanks to my amazingly perceptive boyfriend, lol. He got me Sprints (in the right size), and you're right, they are AWESOME. I'm not running in them yet, (after a brief 2-mile excursion that had me very sore for 3-4 days) but I wear them EVERYWHERE!
