I've been using my VFF since easter and am up to a couple of runs a week in them. This week I did a 9 and 11 mile run which is the furthest I've gone in them. At the end of the 11 miler my feet looked like they'd been through a meat grinder. Multiple blisters and sore bits as the blister plasters move about after a few miles.

Anyone else noticed how much they stink? I think a cycle in the washing machine is required for mine.

Best thing for me though has been the ability to use them to take pressure of strains caused by running in shoes. Did 12 miles on Tues and had some niggles in achilles so used VFF for next 2 days and felt no niggles at all. Hopefully this will allow to me to manage high mileage each week as my long run today in shoes went without a hitch.
