I was suffering from "runners knee" for about a week after I tried to run consistently for anything above about 15 minutes (at a steady 10:00 mpm pace). So basically I couldn't get up any kind of decent running schedule, so I started to look into barefoot running. I started walking my dog barefoot and working on strengthening my feet, and when my last bout of "runners knee" cleared up I started thinking about running. I didn't think my gym would allow barefoot treadmill running so I invested in a pair of Vibram's.
First day at the gym and I started running and I'd reached the 15 minute mark and no knee trouble, so I kept going and upped the speed and did another 10 minutes. No pain at all. Now anyone who's started running in these knows what I'm going to say next! ...
... They REALLY work your calf's because they force you to land on the balls of your feet (exactly as you should run) so about 2 days after my first run damn did I have DOMS in my calves, I was walking around like a croquet hoop! So friendly advice, start slow!
After that initial adaption my calf muscles I was fine going forward.
No more knee pain, I ran an hour for the first time yesterday (~5.5 miles), I'd have never been able to do that before.

I will never run in regular shoes again. I had REALLY bad shin splints for the last two years. One run in these and my shins didn't hurt at all. None. I almost teared up from the lack of pain. My calves were sore for about 3 weeks due to these shoes changing the way I run. Not painful, just sore. I've noticed that I am faster in these. I don't have a big stride anymore but lots of short steps that have cut 2 minutes off my 4 mile run time.
I normally run 4 miles M/W/F and 2 miles on T/T. I LOVE these shoes. Never going to run in anything else again!

Love these shoes and they were an excellent transition from my Nike free shoes. I have not adapted completely from running in my free's to these but for working out and doing all other activities I prefer these shoes. My preferred method of running would be in wet sand barefoot at the beach. Since there is more cushion for impact with that. But this is the next best thing. If you are not going to be running on a clear track or surface intended for running that will be free from rocks and debris I suggest getting the Treksport as they have a thicker sole to protect your feet from the pebbles rocks and debris.
