I have 3 pairs, won't seek any refunds because I like them- although they are ridiculously overpriced. They basically jumped in the barefoot running market and suit was for false claims to strengthen feet and prevent injuries. Those were true for me, but the company didn't do any rigorous scientific research on it. They settled without actually admitting wrongdoing. $3.75 million and 25% of that goes to lawyers. http://www.runnersworld.com/general-interest/vibram-agrees-to-settle-class-action-lawsuit?page=single

I run in Vibrams, but switched to Luna sandals (Barefoot Ted's company) or full barefoot this summer. I did a half marathon in Vibrams 5 fingers. No problem, used to sprain my ankles falling off my conventional heel rise athletic shoes. Feet do not inherently need support, but feet that are accustomed to support need slow transition. I transitioned fast which was not bad for me as I've done martial arts for years barefoot and am enough of a hillbilly that barefoot running not a huge adjustment, but did aggravate an old strain in my calf when I started. I noticed that Somalian people seem to have Greek toes today, I would have guessed Egyptian.

The names are freaking me out. Courtyard is quite busy and a strange pavilion to have a pit in it. Is it a swimming pool gone bad?

nothing to see here

Fylgia

No $ kickback for anyone?

I did like it but it won't let me as don't have amazon.uk password ( I'm in US)

I did the same thing as the handbag comment. I made a crack about screaming at World Cup players on TV as comeback for women being more emotional. Neither were well PC worded. I think mine was taken as funny, so perhaps we do get away with dissing men sometimes.

what we have here is failure to communicate

Physical and mental awareness, vitality and to stay relaxed and in the moment. Sounds pretty simple, but find it pretty hard to do at times.

Sit up straight, pull your gut in- for how to lose it I mean. Why do we tense our shoulders for stress? no good to run, or fight or even yell- shouldn't evolution have fixed that?

Tip to remember: Don’t respond to this sort of thing

It's not my thread.

Annihilated

Too far down the rabbit hole

Don’t smoke weed, do ‘shrooms!

Read the title and wondered what the gods were afraid of and what they created to comfort themselves. Light, Big Bang, early creation- maybe they were scared of the dark.
