Vibram KomodoSport

May 7 2011 Vibram KomodoSport

First day of wearing my Vibram Komodo Sports out. Well, I wore it out because my Injinji socks came!

Things have been going great as in the overall experience of wearing the shoe. Didn't do much running but I walked pretty much the whole day. Yes it does make my toes feel free.

The only setback I have is that when I wear my Vibrams, I'm very much afraid of getting my feet crushed by other people's feet. I was rolling my trolley and my toes got clipped; in short, you'll feel the pain if your toes get crushed.

Grip has been awesome on grass, on concrete and asphalt though on asphalt  I find that it's so sticky that it feels like my soles are coming off. Makes you feel like an F1 driver trying to preserve your soft tyres.

I wore my Vibram Komodosports for the whole day(was out for more than 12 hours) and while standing, sitting or walking I felt no discomfort. When I did a little jog, i felt more conscious of my landing and immediately got into landing on my forefoot vs landing on my heels.

At the end of the day, I felt my right heel muscles to my calve muscle working and it started having some muscle aches. It was due to my walking (I tend to land on a weird angle on my right foot and it causes ALL my shoes to wear out from the bottom right end first) but I tried correcting it. I'm guessing it'll take more time for me to do that!

Update May 10, 2011(3 Days after wearing the Komodo Sport)

My calves has ached quite a bit and I'm more conscious on landing lightly on my feet. Getting them on hasn't been much of an issue these days, been able to slot my feet, find the slots for my toes and slip the shoe on. I find that my Vibram don't get much attention and that's good! Haven't been getting odd stares, perhaps these shoes have been in the market for a while so it's gaining acceptance from the public in general.

I wore my shoes to work for the first time and was standing a lot in them. Standing is pretty okay; it is more comfortable as compared to my normal shoes.

I kind of like the feeling of wriggling my toes after a long day!
