5 Toed Running Shoes Views

General Goods

I used to run cross country in high school, stopped running in college. I have tried to get back into running several times since. Knee probles always arose. Was fitted for shoes 5 times to account for it, still always ended my running. I started front-foot strike running about a month ago. I then bought a pair of VFF Sprints 2 weeks ago. I love them for running on all surfaces, and so far no significant knee pain! Fro ME at least, these are fantastic!

I have been running in VFFs KSO now for about one month, just after finishing the Pikes Peak Marathon. I run almost everyday, average 35 r– 40 miles a week. I run trails almost 100% of the time. At first my biggest issue with the VFFs were blisters on the side of my feet where the rubber meets the neoprene. I ran thru that pain. Next the stitching around my big toes started to come apart. I returned and was given a new pair. Since then I get pain in the balls of my feet and wonder if that is just from changing from a heel-to-toe runner to only running on the balls of my feet. I had about 100 miles on my VFFs and then, just yesterday, I went back to my running shoes. I did not like that at all. I want to run in VFFs but it seems the quality of the shoe is poor and will not last on top of the issues of the ball of my feet. Any suggestions? Also, after just 3 days out on my new pair the rubber from the sole is starting to peel away from the neoprene.

Still a lil sore and achy but not on my good leg so I ’m attributing it to my leg getting use to the impact and stress of running. Not the shoes. I done’t believe Ia’ve even put on i“normal
