I especially like them with a leather or hemp footbed.<BR/><BR/>I still like my toes right at the edge with the ability to stick over when necessary.<BR/><BR/>The thin sole has benefits. However, the see these sandals as PORTABLE GROUND giving one a nice even and comfortable surface to land on, yet not cutting off the feeling of impact, so that you still run gently.<BR/><BR/>BFTBarefoot Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06507276372851024956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847741.post-44271562931803516862008-08-06T07:02:00.000-07:002008-08-06T07:02:00.000-07:00Ted, your sandals seem to become more like those of the indígenos: thicker soles, plus maybe these new ones cover the toes as well? Or can your toes still touch the ground? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, would you only use these 'tick soles' in very rough terrain? I would think that on easier terrains a thinner sole gives more 'feel'.....Comments? <BR/><BR/>PieterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847741.post-43646381630363917292008-08-04T15:47:00.000-07:002008-08-04T15:47:00.000-07:00www.vibramfivefingers.com<BR/><BR/>They are there now!<BR/><BR/>BFTBarefoot Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06507276372851024956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847741.post-4773630520456275912008-07-30T20:44:00.000-07:002008-07-30T20:44:00.000-07:00They are indeed brown. I guess it is a new or upcoming color. Not sure when they will be available. <BR/><BR/>BFTBarefoot Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06507276372851024956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847741.post-87411155997707011522008-07-30T19:38:00.000-07:002008-07-30T19:38:00.000-07:00Hey Ted,<BR/><BR/>Good to see you running again man. One question though, those KSO's you are wearing look like a tan color, is it a new color we will see? Or is it grey stained with dirt :)?Justusnoreply@blogger.com
