Review – Vibram FiveFingers Bikila A running-specific FiveFingers Model Overall impression What can I say, Vibram is starting to seem like a company that can do no wrong – and the new running-specific model of FiveFingers, the Bikila, is another great example of a use-specific model that does a great job of providing the most [...]
Review – Vibram FiveFingers KSO Trek Overall impression This beefy, tread-happy KSO upgrade with kangaroo leather is the perfect solution for trail runners and those who have been looking for a little more protection underfoot.

Vibram FiveFingers’ new fall 2009 collection includes three new designs; we are pleased to review the Performa. I am thoroughly impressed with this new addition and find it an all around perfect indoor shoe. My feet and toes literally get the urge to dance while wearing them. Vibram FiveFingers has outdone itself with the Performas as they are extremely comfortable, are lighter weight than all their other shoes, and have extraordinary flexibility and comfort.
Vibram FiveFingers released an update to the VibramFiveFingers.com site. The Trek, Performa and Moc are now listed. Go to VibramFiveFingers.com
This is another strong product from Vibram’s FiveFinger lineup. The Mocs are incredibly comfortable, pleasantly warm, and feel luxurious. They are the most pleasant feeling FiveFingers I have tested to date. They are appropriate for most indoor activities, and offer some protection and warmth in a comfortable package. More than any other FiveFingers model, these are truly gloves for your feet.
Vibram has announced that the Moc, Performa, and KSO Treks will be in stores next week. The moment you have all been waiting for! Stay tuned for our detailed reviews on each model.

Feelmax Shoes Review Note: Feelmax felt our review was unfair and that we did not do our homework during this review. After some suggestions from readers and speaking with Feelmax we were send a new and larger size of Niesa for re-evaluation. Here is the new review: http://www.livingbarefoot.info/2010/05/feelmax-niesa-re-review/ There are three brands that are always [...]
Vibram FiveFingers: Review of the Sprint, KSO, and Classic Styles I could not do justice to the barefoot cause and not give these amazing shoes a chance for the spotlight. Vibram FiveFingers have perhaps received more press than any other shoe, but not because of how great they are. Abandoning all that is common in [...]
So, I may have fallen prey to brilliant marketing, but I went out and got a pair of the Vibram Five Fingers Sprints. I wore them out and about all day today, and then took them up to the gym and the thrill mill for a little road test. More
