    any one know of a shop that has test shoes to try??
    Ian you could always see if Naked Ape in Sheffield have any test 5fingers, they seem to be the main stockist in the North.

    I did see a lad running on roads today in 5fingers through Anniesland-Glasgow.

    Re: :D Barefoot Running

    Well I bough a pair of VFF classics and luved them so then got a pair of the KSO liked them also.

    Yesterday I got a pair of Treks thay are just fantastic.

    More grip than the others on wet grass and mud . A little less feel under foot which for me is good as I use them on some very rough trails.

    I wear £6 canvas shoes at work, go barefooted at home and wear the classics out to the gym etc,

    Have been using the F lite as a transition shoe but also run on the trails and road in the KSO, if your only going to get one pair go for the Treks and get someone to bring them in from the states for you as I did.

    Where did you get your Treks from Loon?
    I thought they weren't being stocked in the UK until next year?

    Bloody good idea! Sending as a gift means you don't have to pay extra, right? Did you find the Treks came up the same size as your KSO's?
