    i got a GREAT Deal through REI outlet...they're doing 20% off a single item right now, on top of a few VFF styles already on sale for $45-55.

    picked up a pair of sprints...and with the 20% off and my REI member refund, cost me $16 shipped. :cool:

    running barefoot will tear up the bottom of your feet, especially underneath your big toe

    I worry about the Vibrams because they force you to run sockless. My feet sweat a lot, so I imagine I would get some serious blisters.

    I haven't tried them, but they do make socks with the individual toes to wear with them.

    what did you think of the Merrell Trail glove?

    Thanks for the sale heads up Final..I'm going to get me a second pair


    not wearing socks kind of grosses me out in general.

    I never got around to trying the Merrell.

    I think I'm going to go with the Minimus.

    they make socks for them. And some people do get blisters, but they usually adapt and the blisters won't continue.

    Also, just an FYI, ADIDAS is coming out with a new shoe called the Adapt:

    to be released later this year...
