You’ve all probably heard the “shoe talk” by now… and many of you have switched to Vibram Five Fingers recently. J$$$ passed along an interesting article about the darker side of the rise in VFF’s popularity. Read the article here and discuss in comments.

I read about the fake vibrams a while back through birthdayshoes.com and they have links to reputable dealers online. On that site and vibramfivefingers.com there is a link to teach you how to spot fakes. But yes it is definitely a big issue with the shoes.
Why don’t these counterfeiters try starting their own shoe companies? They obviously have the resources to do so (perhaps minus the marketing budget). A little competition and a greater variety of choices would be great, imo.
What I’ve learned about getting VFF’s, is get them from City Sports. We’re fortunate to have one close to us, right in center city. They have the best selection and are still the only place I’ve found where you can get Bikilas and Trek Sports. It seems they have some sort of agreement with Vibram that they get the new stuff first. And there are plenty of discounts to be found at City Sports, ask me @ the box if you’d like to know more.
hey Joel, what sorts of discounts are you talking about
I’d like to know more please!
Also, I’m considering getting the KSO treksports (trading in my regular KSOs that are a little tight…) what do you think of them? do they still have the barefoot feel? do they stretch a lot, or stay true to size? Thanks!
