So, it has been a couple weeks and I have been wearing the fivefingers a lot. I must say that I am a fan. My calves are getting used to the extra punishment, the shoes are lightweight and comfortable, caring for them is easy and the only negatives I have, at this time, are the dorky looks and the "getting used to them" thing. But, like any new technology, there is an adoption path (for more on this, see my work blog here).
I started running in them more today during my walks by alternating running/walking and lengthening the amount of time I'm running. I have to say, I am way out of shape :-). But, so far, it is going well. My calves certainly feel it and I am still struggling with the stride a bit, but I will eventually get it down, I think.
So, if you have been thinking about trying them and have hesitated for concern about the comfort, or the performance, I say go for it. The fit is the most important thing. So, be sure to try them on and make sure they work for your feet. I have to warn you though, people will look at them funny.
Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions.
