"I'm just getting started experimenting with my KSOs - http://runlikemonkey.com/2008/10/17/first-miles-in-the-vibram-fivefingers-ksos/. So far I'm loving them and I think the above comments are great. A few more: I also went larger than Vibram recommends. I think they have me as a 41/42, I tried a 42 and didn't like the snugness so went 43 and I'm glad I did. I actually have some space at the end of the toes and that's working for me. There is definitely a transition period for getting use to these. I think you need to start out slow and work into it, stretch the legs a lot after runs (especially calves) and don't try to go too far or too hard for the few couple weeks. I also agree with the 4 toe design suggestion - the pinkie toe is the hardest fit for me. They are definitely more comfortable for me while walking or running rather than sitting. So get moving!
