Vibram FiveFingers V-RUN Shoes

Bought two pairs and they arrived safe and sound to me down in oz, adequately packed in one box. After walking around in them for a few days I realised quickly that my feet muscles are weak as piss. I need to acclimatise to ”barefoot” running slowly. update many months in: i use these EVERY time i go to the gym. besides the annoyance of always having people comment on them (they're bright green btw), they allow for excellent squat form and my 5 minute sprint warmup really helps me focus on how my feet are striking. there's something addictive to having heel/toe touching the ground, it just feels "right" after a while and strapping on my regular shoes i feel like i'm in peasant mode.

I wear size 43 (aka US M10) in shoes and also in Five Fingers. I always wear midweight (not thin) Injinji socks with my Five Fingers. Without socks, maybe I would be a 42.
