Im currently running in these and their by far the best thing i've ever run in. I used to invert my right ankle 2-3 times over a few miles run, sometimes more on uneven terrain, i've not done it once since wearing these. I wholeheartedly recommend them. They change your technique completely as well and give you a much better running style. Its impossible to heel strike in them, if you have that tendency (it really hurts when you try!)

A lot of people sniff at the evidence for barefoot running, and i agree that its a little limited, but you cant argue with the amount of people who are saying the same things. Running forums are littered with similar stories. QUite a pricey shoe but totally worth it
