Vibes Hot Spots

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

12 years ago 10/29/2011 8:04am EDT

I'm starting back to running after some down time due to some nagging injuries, and since for now my mileage is so low and I'm only running every other day, I'm gearing up with vibes to focus on rebuilding some foot strength.

What has surprised me is that I develop hot spots on my feet after runs of only 2-3 miles. They don't form in the same place everytime: sometimes on the pad beneath a big toe, sometimes towards the outer part of one of my feet, sometimes around the heel, etc. If I were to go long, my feet would no doubt end up a blistery mess.

How does this happen with a skin-tight shoe that doesn't feel like it's slipping? Anyone else experience problems with blistering in vibes?

Just got back from a vibes run of less than 2 miles and can feel another hot spot beneath my big toe that would have been a problem had I gone any distance.

Am I the only vibes runner who experiences thess?

How many miles are you going to run before you decide these "shoes" aren't for you?

1/10. Firstly, you posted on LRC with a question about Vibram's Five Finger "shoes" that were originally created for sail boats. Secondly, you referred to said shoes as "vibes." I award you no points and may god (and the runnersworld/coolrunning crow) have mercy on your soul.

My wife seems to have a few vibes that hit all of her hot spots.

I'll be leaving the vibes at home for runs longer than 5K to avoid risking a stress fracture. I'm just running in them now as I inch slowly back into training.

But I hear of people running marathons in them and am wondering if they went through a period of building up calluses, or if they just put on a pair and starting knocking out 10 milers. If it's the latter, I will need to consult my 8 ball.

I may not be a mathamatisian but shouldn't awarding no points be 0/10?
