I picked up a new pair of Five Fingers thnks weekend; the Bikila's, which are designed for running. I took them out for a five mile spin this am and all the weird looks they garnered aside - and man, do people look at you cross-eyed when you wear these things - they felt very comfortable. More so than my previous pair, the KSO's. Any other Five Finger enthusiasts out there and if so, what do you think?

Howard knows I'm a VFF enthusiast. I think he was baiting me with this post. I now own 3 pair:
KSO's - I keep at the gym and use for my runs on the treadmill or in Central Park.
Trek's - I am currently wearing these exclusively when trail running.
Bikila's - My most recent purchase - and I concur with Howard - the most comfortable model yet.
I don't think I've worn a pair of running shoes since the Greenbelt 50K in May - and I have no desire to. My plan is to see if I can work up to running the Headlands 50K in August in my VFF Trek's.
Work of caution - if you start running in VFF's, make sure you start slowly!
I love my bikila's as well. Also no interest in returning to traditional running shoes.
Ha! Yes Toddie I was definitely baiting you! WHere is your race report btw?
