I was unimpressed with the KSO Treksport. Although they were comfortable and had a better designed heel counter than the Bikila, the fabric split at the toe during a 5k trail race when I had less than 30 miles total on them. Bodyglide helps with this. Post 6 of 18 views. Post 7 of 18 views. I put miles in mine before I started wearing holes in the soles. They may have lasted longer had I not taken them on a hike with lots of very sharp rocks towards the end of their life.

When the rubber on the bottom starts to get really thin, I put a layer of shoe goo on the thin spots and that will last a month or 2 before I need to put more shoe goo on.
The thing that wears out that I can't fix is when the material between the toes start to develop holes and then they allow junk into the shoes. I think the extra padding on the Bilikas wear out quickly and the KSOs are more comfortable.

Vibram have a global Tester Team that put their products to the… well, test, in the most extreme conditions. This group of athletes and enthusiasts provide truthful and valuable insight into how performance can benefit from different sole techniques, keeping Vibram up-to-date and in the lead when it comes to sole development.
In comparison to leather walking boots, Vibram has the upper hand in regards to durability. Rubber is more flexible than leather, meaning your Vibram soles will take less time to break in and prevent the need for blister plasters. Vibram footwear is specifically created to repel water in order to keep your feet and socks dry while tackling the elements. There are a variety of characteristics that Vibram employ to achieve this goal, depending on what products you look at.
Vibrams boots can also come with a HydroGuard waterproof system, which paired with a durable mudguard and protection around the top of the shoe, makes them perfect for regular outdoor use. Vibram soles are all designed to prepare your feet for a range of terrain whether you are out for a stroll, hike or a ramble.
Vibram walking boots have sturdy soles made from varying materials to balance robust grip and comfort allowing you to keep moving throughout the day. Their cushioned sole ensures comfort after hours of walking and the softshell fabric keeps the boots lightweight and flexible. Featuring gusseted tongues and waterproof membranes, Vibram walking boots will keep moisture locked out while encouraging breathability, meaning your feet will stay fresh come rain or shine.
The strong and durable materials used in the upper section of the boots means the boots are long-lasting, fit for purpose and are a must-have addition to your walking equipment. Visit our website and check out our extensive Vibram boot range. A selection of our running shoes come with a Vibram rubber sole, and are great at allowing you to maintain grip and stability on tough terrain whilst maintaining its durability.
Their linings are waterproof and breathable, which keep your feet feeling fresh, dry and prevented from overheating. The lightweight material allows you to get the most out of your run and improve upon your times without feeling the strain of a heavier and bulkier shoe.
Many weightlifters recommend using a flat sole to prevent any power being lost through the cushion of a shoe. Others recommend going completely barefoot — but in a gym environment, this option can be rather unhygienic. You can push down through your toes and feel out any instabilities that would contribute towards bad form. The FiveFingers shoe can also help you to recognise and activate the proper muscles for each exercise which optimises your performance and can prevent injuries in the long run.
Vibram offer a range of climbing boots with special features to provide maximum sensitivity, allowing your feet to function naturally and allow for complete freedom of movement. Vibram seek to create equipment that provides a more natural experience for climbers and their climbing footwear range is designed to achieve just that.
Vibram has developed a variation of their FiveFingers footwear specifically for yoga and pilates. Running or walking barefoot for long periods of time on hard surfaces can quickly put strain on your arch and wear down the fatty heel pad. But they do give you something: A sole over 15 mm thick that produces instability and loss of sensitivity of the ground. Minimalist shoes are actually in the middle for speed — not as slow as pure barefoot, but not as fast as regular shoes.
These shoes are lower to the ground, lighter and less cushioned than traditional running shoes. They are designed to provide some protection for your feet while offering some of the desirable aspects of barefoot running. Hastily switching to minimal shoes that engage all of those foot muscles differently can be a shock to your system and may lead to injury.
This is true even for experienced runners, who risk stress fractures or other ailments if they skip the process of conditioning their feet before taking on long distances barefoot. Summary: Barefoot activities can greatly improve balance and posture and prevent common injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, bursitis, and tendonitis in the Achilles tendon, according to one expert.
