Improvement

Well, after about a week of running in my 5 finger shoes, when I wear my regular shoes, I can notice a difference in how long my form holds up. My calves are stronger, which means I can keep my kick longer, which translates into more power. I like them.

Those look fun, and both you and Russell seem to like them. Since I trust you both about fitness... devices, I am intrigued and want to get some. Where'd you find them?

oh Christ. Are you serious. . . Damn these bandwagons that i feel driven to jump on! I'm gonna wait on this one for a bit though, for myself. How well do they do on ice/pavement?

Well, seeing as how I live in Miami, I haven't seen ice since...March 2007?, so I couldn't give you an opinion on that bit. On concrete, they are perfectly nice, they feel like walking on a thin wrestling mat barefoot wherever you are. If you want to find out where to buy them, if you go to the place's website, they have a "find stores in your area" type section, where you can click on a state and get a list of stores around you. You can also buy them online, but I'd deffinately recommend trying them on first because it's hard to pick the right size the first time, and you should see if you actually like the fit. There are like 3 or 4 places in NYC, but I'm not sure where to find them in Philly.
