What is the best Vibram Five Fingers shoes for running long distances
I don't know Ivo or Greg but they are so far off base that I would ignore them. Vibram Five fingers are made to run on ANY surface. It has nothing to do with running style, cement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc.
It forces you to change the way you run to a more natural manner. The Bikala is just fine for distance running. Some folks can't adjust to running barefoot. However, a pediatrist friend of mine who runs in half and full marathons cut a section of Dr. Scholls gel pad and glued it in the shoe for the forefoot when he developed a blister and swears by it. Once your feet toughen up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the cement won't be an issue.
In my opinion 100% barefoot is still the way to go,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. It's the most natural way as well. The only good reason to run with Vibrams is temperature. Running 100% barefoot is better for your running posture. You start using your hips to absorbe shoques. This implicates that you will not constantely burden your achilles tendon by running on your front foot like you do when you weir the Vibrams or any other minimalistic shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The Idea is good but the protection from the rubber sole makes your foot unroll different and that influences your running posture.
I use the Vibrams too,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. A lot. But I try not to run with them and go as much 100% barefoot as I can,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I use the Vibram mostely during PT sessions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. If I had to choose from the ones you showed I would take the Bikila's.
VFF's used to be a bit of a fad in the ultra community. We do see people show up with them at the start line. Unfortunately, we rarely see them at the finish line because they drop early.
I would suggest that if you find VFF's painful for long distances then you consider slowing down your training and building endurance adaptations in your feet before trying again. After all, it's those adaptations that you wanted in the first place. By slowing down your training I mean running to the distance you can before your feet hurt but do that distance more often that week.
Frankly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you're not prepared to do the training required then a more comfortable VFF for long distance is called a shoe. Spend more time training on distances that don't hurt or give up and go for a shoe.
I'm no expert,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I've been running in VFF - KSO and Bikila Treksports for a year. I use the KSO for the beach and shorter distances and the Treksports for longer distances. The farthest I have run in them is 6-miles, but working on farther. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I run in the Treksports on all terrains - rocky trails, cement, treadmills,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sand. I did have a problem with the forefoot because I have a blisters there from my job, but that wasn't due to the VFFs. In my opinion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the blisters would have complicated any running I did in any shoe. As a result, I bought Dr. Scholl's ball of the foot gel pads,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the problem went away. I thoroughly enjoy running in my Five-Fingers and won't go back to regular shoes. I also have a pair of Jaya LRs for everyday walking around.
I experienced using a kso trek. It is not good for a long road marathon, i feel painful especially on my toes and heels which is because of the deep spikes. But i recommend it in any trail run marathon, it is not painful. I also have a pair of a KSO's and you may medicate the painful knee problem by having a correct heel strike. I'm a mid arch striker that's why i feel comfortable using the KSO's on road,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the KSO trek on trail running. For the best advise, visit a running clinic to know your heel strike and ask the correct pair of running shoes to the running clinic doctor. My typical run is 4 - 6 miles. I agree with Mike but wanted to add my experience to this question.
When I switched from KSOs to Bikilas the pad over the Achilles tendon on the Bikila irritated my skin. The upper of the Bikila has a good deal more "structure" to it and this made the rubbing even worse. Even after my skin toughened up it would still be irritated after a run. For this reason I prefer the KSO, though I am still running in Bikilas. I wanted to get the Bikila LS but they are designed for wide feet and mine are narrow so I had to pull the two sides completely together to get a snug fit. My next pair will probably be a brown pair of KSO Treks because they will look better when I feel like wearing them with jeans.
Learning how to run like a human is key to running in minimalist shoes. You can find some really good information from Harvard's Skeletal Biology Lab" barefoot running page. There is also a great video summarizing this work on YouTube. I used to run a mile or two barefooted each time I ran just to improve my form but I quite doing that last year. My feet never seemed to toughen up enough for regular 4 to 6 mile runs on concrete and asphalt,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though I could run the occasional 5K barefooted without issues.
