Five Fingers

Hey all,
Just wanted to stop in and see if anyone had ever heard of these shoes? Five Fingers Shoes. I bought a pair today and went for a short run. They were incredible. My calves hurt, but otherwise my knees feel fantastic. It's like running barefoot. Can you say Kenyan running method?

Because you are basically barefoot, you naturally have a mid-foot to fore-foot strike, which most science is telling us is better for us. It certainly felt better. I'm also told that it's better for your knees, because moving the strike further forward allows your calves to do their jobs as shock absorbers. Anyone know anybody that's used these for awhile? It's only one run, but so far I'm sold.
