Has anyone tried the Vibram Five Fingers for urban running? I am reading Born to Run and now I’m dying to try them. I was mildly curious before.
I have been increasing my milage lately and feeling it. I’m curious if these would help. I want to be able to run until I stop breathing, so not getting injured seems kind of important.
I’m trying to decide between the TrekSport and Bikila. I would also like to order a pair of Barefoot Ted’s sandals and give them a spin.

I just got the Bikila and am truly in love.
(PS, loved the way you put it – want to be able to run til you stop breathing…I so echo that sentiment!)
