    I have the Neo trail, and I really like them. I tried the VFF Classics, and never could get comfortable in them. I use my Vivos on trails and my NB Minimus on the road, and much prefer that.

    Is $45 a really good deal for the Vibram's running shoes
    (I saw a supposed half off Groupon on ad for their couple styles called FiveFingers Sprint or Bikila)?

    http://www.groupon.com/r/uu345433

    Groupon is having a deal today and Monday it looks like->$45 for Pair of Men's or Women's Vibram Running Shoes

    VERY good deal...it's 50% off. Retail is around $90

    Thanks for mentioning it. I've been more and more hesitant to pay so much for them. I love them, but i think the $50-
    $60 range is more appropriate. $45 is definitely worth another pair.


    EDIT- looks like they're sold out :/

    Love the FAAS 550's - have two pair and thinking of buying more (they have a mesh top - the 500's a synthetic top). Normally, I wear Sauconys, but I was given this pair. Most comfortable shoe I have worn in 30 years of running. Only .2 ounces heavier than my racing flats.

    very cool... synthetic top vs. mesh top not sure if that makes the ounces much different or just a tiny bit less on the appearance maybe.

    This Groupon deal is good until early next week it looks like or until they run out of stock since over 1000+ bought so far...

    Prepare to never be laid again if you wear those.

    Those are a bigger p***y deterrent than Moes' neckbeard.

    Au contraire, it's a great ice breaker. They want to know if it'll help them get in better shape.

    Then this happens:

    Unless you're referring to 300lb+ females, then it definitely deters those :grin:

    These actually look pretty good. Would you recommend these for work? I don't run a lot, but my feet are killing me at work lately. I work at Kroger's and we run around, bend, stoop, etc 5000 times a shift.

    so it's kinda like running :p, but I definitely wanted a more natural/comfortable shoe.
