Thanks Steve for you taking the time to share your knowledge, been running in Bikila Evos for about 2 months now (after your reviews) and can't believe how good they are compared to other 'Minimal' shoes. It is hard to run in any other shoe now as you can feel them interfering with my natural running gait. My son is 12 years old and been running in KSO Evos and Bikilas for about 4 months and I am struggling to stay with him the little shit!!
That's it man, you're totally free to run as your body is built to run in Vibrams. Your son is at an advantage as he hasn't had years of running in incorrect footwear. You'll beat him soon (for a year or two)
The beginning cracked me up. "Who's the nutter in the black, charging through the park" lol Excellent video. I've bought myself some merrell trail glove 3's. Start barefoot Monday. I wasn't ready for the vff's. Do you have any experience with the merrells? Great technique Steve.
simon brent Hey man, glad you liked the video :-) I've never run in the Merrell's but I know a lot of people that have and have heard nothing but good things about them. Let me know how you get on!
Your running in the Vibrams sure looks natural. This is how we're built to move, gliding. I really enjoyed this video. I'm heading out in my Vibrams today!
Its funny how the normal natural things we are meant to be doing feel so good. Lol I understand as you were commenting barefoot running feels and is great for you. Video cracked me up
Check ebay I have bought three pair from peeps that didnt like them... they are not for everyone :) I frigging love them...... barefoot vibrams are the best!!! Peace love and light
Wow can't believe how fast you were running in them VFFs also how wide your stride was. Virbrams have shorten my stride tremendously and has changed my style of running and also changed my posture. I don't think I can sprint in them like you can with that lovely long stride. I would certainly love to. Nice to see you outside the shed for a change.
Dick Tracey It's just one of those things that I've adapted too over time I suppose. I train to run fast so that kinda comes out in my technique too. Maybe I will do a video of running in Vibrams at a slower pace...
Thanks for the video! I've been having horrible calf aches and took 35 days off which actually made things worse for training. Went for my first run today changing my technique and feel the 180 change. I shaved off a few minutes from my average so I hope to report done pb breaks soon!
Good man. So many people underestimate focussing on running technique, which is just bonkers. You can run further and faster for no extra effort and be less prone to injury. win, win, win. Keep up the good work!
Hi Steve, bought my first vibrams for my 50th birthday, did 5 minutes on the treadmill pacing myself today. I'm not a runner but I really want to give it a try after watching your inspiring videos. Love to hear more about the socks. This video quality was great, not sure you really need a special camera!!
chasmaclad Hey Chas. Great stuff, yeah take things slow to start with but if you're new to running at least you don't have any bad habbits to forget before you can progress into the Vibrams! Keep me posted on your progress :)
Hi Steve, this is a great demonstration of technique - very helpful. I have a pair of spyridon MR's which I use for trail running and I love them. I am wondering which barefoot shoes are best for running in winter - even in snow. Any advice? Cheers
Great job on the video! I bought Xero HFS minimalist shoes and have been working them into my running. It's a gradual transition. Initially, I was kind of slapping my feet on the ground. Not heel striking, but still not great as there was no spring in my step. But I'm finally starting to get the hang of the right form. No issues at this point. Feet feel great and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks again!
Very good, you make it look like fun (which running is). And yes, gazelle, or maybe Cheetah on the move. Keep up the good work and thanks for the help. I am cautious because it took me 10 years to get over plantar fasciitis, so it’ll be a slow, careful transition for me. Baby steps.
Nice video! This answered my Q&A question for next week abour what your heel does when landing, its slightly touching the ground, thats what I am doing for a while.
Gazelle indeed . Fab video . Suffering from uneven leg length due to bad posture since youth , which now translates into horrible pain in my thoracic spine from heel strike. its seems you are literally running on your tip toes ? Any advice regarding how to transition ? Fab video . Thank You!
Because I've always felt knee pain when running, I've started working on my barefoot technique and your videos have helped me a lot! Even though I don't feel any knee pain anymore, I'm finding it a bit difficult to keep the speed I used to run and it is impossible for me to keep going for more than 20 minutes, although I used to run about one hour when not using the technique. Is it normal to have this kind of difficulty in the transition and feel the calves, the hamstrings and the tibialis really sore? Thanks for the help, Steve!
Do you have an update on this? I'm curious as well, just transition to the new technique and I've gone very slow with it so I don't injure myself. Wondering if eventually you got that strength of normal running.
@@nsrocker99 Barefoot running is normal running :) Even if you might be a little faster with cushioned shoes (which i don't think is the case) doesn't really matter. I mean you're not doing it for the speed, right?
@@boogaloobomber9889 Considering our history, yes it definitely is normal. I guess 'less normal' for the modern day since they went crazy with shoes LOL. Nah, not too much for speed, I just wanna enjoy running again and thankfully things are going well with minimal shoes. :)
Hey, great vid! So, i´m running forefoot about three months now, my question is, how do i know for sure i´m not toe striking?, i mean, i guess i´m midfoot striking because i strike the floor with my forefoot and slightly my heel ends touching it down, but i saw some videos where you cannot tell the difference so much and another question is when forefoot/midfoot striking is there no impact at all or there is less impact than heel striking?
Wow, thats a pretty fast pace and very different technique from mine. I try to increase my cadence and work more with my upperbody when increasing my speed to lessen the stress on my feet a bit. But when I ma better trained and run this fast this looks like a good technique. Would this work for a bit longer distances too?
Let your kids run with 5fingers and you'll have a future champion at home. I will never go back to normal shoes for running🔝. I totally agree with you! 🏃♂️💪🦁
Hey great video! I have been running in Vibrams for 3 months. Long story short....i feel great and injury free but i've lost about 1 1/2 minutes on my 5k's. Any thought?
Why do you think it's more beneficial to run in barefoot shoes rather than running forefoot/midfoot striking but in cushioned trainers? I have done barefoot running so have a solid barefoot running style but run in shoes with a lot of cushion because my legs can't take the pounding when my mileage gets up to higher levels. I don't see any problem with that but you seem to...
You'll find that you start running with a style that feels comfortable and works for you. We come in all shapes and sizes so it's important to find your own style. You will smash it I'm sure :)
THank you for your reply... :) Right now, I have to alternate my run days between the V5F and my asics otherwise, my calves are screaming. Eventually, I'll be converted fully to the V5F, but not anytime soon I fear :) Love your videos! You are very concise and informative!
great video, just wondering if you have any thoughts on running with weight (I usually run with 50-70lbs)? when I run with weight for training and I have to really fight to keep form. I'm assuming that the form should not change.
+The Hawks Nest hey man, running form should stay true no matter what but I'm sure you would need to make some adjustments when carrying so much weight. I've never personally tried so couldn't say for sure.
Also noticed that you only had slight movement in your arms however i notice a lot of professional runners move their arms on unison with their legs. Maybe its just a comfort thing but do you this is would affect your running in any way?
Derek Nixon Very good point my man. I noticed this too after watching the video back, I've become very lazy with my arm movements. If I'm running a fast run or competing in an event my arm cadence will match my legs and will drive me forward with purpose. In this video I was being lazy, holding them too low and also allowing them to come too far back. Maybe I'll do a video focusing on arm movement in the future...
Hi. I am confused about where speed comes from? Is it POSE leaning from ankles and lifting heals? Is it the kickback? Is it landing on forefoot and snapping / pushing from heal? Thanks
Oh yeah! Can't wait to do that :-D I've got knocked out by a heavy migrane that I got 1,5 weeks ago from stress so I haven't worked out since then. Just taking baby steps to get out there again and not fall back on that, but I think I will try tomorrow.
TheNaturalChef Yeah illness sucks, but pumping your body full of good foods will help! Make sure you're well before heading out on the road, your health is the most important thing.
I sure will do that thanks :-). I've felt good for some days now so I feel it's time to try moving allitle more. I will take it slow even if it's hard for me to do. I just want to go all the way but I need to take it slow. By the way glad I found your page on facebook :-)
I still see you overstriding when watching the video in slow motion (compared to other videos I've seen), but it most definitely is not a problem for you (I'm not a pro so maybe I just can't see it right).
fionadalia Well done Fiona :-) that's a great achievement! I found that once I could comfortably run 5k in Vibrams 10k came very quickly after. Keep up the great work.
Steve Kalclash Fitness Hi Steve, yesterday I run 10 km in Škofja Loka (Slovenia) in my KSO and I don't have any pain or other problems. It was great. My running time: 1:00:42 - it's not great but it's ok, right;-)
I'm having shin splints and trying to run barefoot for now to fix them (before buying Vibram shoes). I don't know how to run exactly but I heard you're supposed to be landing with your feet under your hips. In this video I think you're over-striding and I heard it causes shin splints. Can you provide your thoughts please?
The Botan Hey man, you definitely shouldn't be over striding. If you watch my technique my legs drive forward, and come quite some way in front of my hips, but upon impact my feet are under my hips or very close to it. Also my foot may land slightly in front of my hips, it is slight, but by the time any weight is applied to my legs it is already fully under my centre of mass and the force is being pushed backwards, which in turn is propelling me forward. I hope this helps.
I agree, this video looks to me like an example of bad barefoot running technique: overstriding. His knees shouldn't be popping up on the upstroke, they should barely be reaching in front of the hips. The entire chain of movement should be behind the hips. Overstriding puts too much stress on the calves and ankles, making strain more likely. This is my understanding and personal experience, anyway.
I've been running in Vibrams for a short while and I'm getting blisters on the outside-bottom area of my big toes (so for my right big toe I'm getting blisters on the bottom left of the toe). Why is this happening?
I get a lot of shin pain doing barefoot running, although I think I am using the same form as you. In the end my shin pain is too much and I have to stop. I'm using Chi Running for my basic form.
Try stretching your muscles, especially the muscles of your foot and lower legs. Watch videos specifically for those group of muscles. I experienced the pain too, reduced a great lot after I began doing my stretching after my running.
Nah anyone that's been running in Vibram's for a while will have the same legs. It's just unusual to see people with muscles developed in their lower legs as heel striking leads to lower leg hypertrophy...
I doubt he does because I do not. Fit is critically important as with proper form. I've run over 500 miles since April 2015 with VFF shoes. Zero knee and hip pain and I am in my late 40's. Follow Vibrams recommended training to get your feet and muscles accustomed to running correctly.
I have that right now with the vibrams. It's the first time it's happened and I've been using them for a while. Have been reading online that it may be from the lace being too tight or bad running technique. If anyone has any advice that would be appreciated
@ Klara, with any shoe, laces too tightly pulled with any shoe will restrict movement. It's not allowing your foot to move free enough possibly causing too much pressure to the top of the foot. Loosen up a tad bit. Always check your form making sure you center the weight in your strides. If your foot is too far forward you may also be placing undo stress to the front of your foot.
The form is terrible!! He's landing close to a foot ahead of his center of gravity. That's why his calves are so huge, to compensate for all the additional shock produced by overstriding. He saved maybe 100g off the shoes, but added a good kg on his calves lol!
Good run but: Knees too much hight, too long stride, low cadence, too straight with the torso, arms going everywhere. If you run a marathon like this much energy required.
when I use vibram I can't overstride. because the impact through the shin is too shocking. I think when someone overstride with vibram they probably instantly know they're doing something wrong.
If you want bone on bone arthritis of the knees then bare foot running shoes is thing for you; you'll love it and you can just be like me where you can hardly walk from the car to the supermarket and when you get there you have to lean on the trolley to get around. Zero drop shoes yes but make sure they have plenty of cushioning.
This is hands down the best barefoot running technique video out there. Thank you for making it, Steve!
Edvin Martinsson Thanks man I'm glad you liked it - makes the effort worth while!

Thanks dude!
Very good technique. They ought to have diagrams of the ball of the foot striking the ground BEFORE the heel right inside the box the runners come in.
Did your leg muscles become this defined and devoloped from just running in toe shoes or do you goto the gym too?

Nah anyone that's been running in Vibram's for a while will have the same legs. It's just unusual to see people with muscles developed in their lower legs as heel striking leads to lower leg hypertrophy...
Seems like you're overstriding terribly, elbows out too far as well.

I doubt he does because I do not. Fit is critically important as with proper form. I've run over 500 miles since April 2015 with VFF shoes. Zero knee and hip pain and I am in my late 40's. Follow Vibrams recommended training to get your feet and muscles accustomed to running correctly.
I have that right now with the vibrams. It's the first time it's happened and I've been using them for a while. Have been reading online that it may be from the lace being too tight or bad running technique. If anyone has any advice that would be appreciated
@ Klara, with any shoe, laces too tightly pulled with any shoe will restrict movement. It's not allowing your foot to move free enough possibly causing too much pressure to the top of the foot. Loosen up a tad bit. Always check your form making sure you center the weight in your strides. If your foot is too far forward you may also be placing undo stress to the front of your foot.
My toes can’t fit in these lol their to close together.

The form is terrible!! He's landing close to a foot ahead of his center of gravity. That's why his calves are so huge, to compensate for all the additional shock produced by overstriding. He saved maybe 100g off the shoes, but added a good kg on his calves lol!
Good run but: Knees too much hight, too long stride, low cadence, too straight with the torso, arms going everywhere. If you run a marathon like this much energy required.
you're overstriding
he is not
He is.
when I use vibram I can't overstride. because the impact through the shin is too shocking. I think when someone overstride with vibram they probably instantly know they're doing something wrong.
If you want bone on bone arthritis of the knees then bare foot running shoes is thing for you; you'll love it and you can just be like me where you can hardly walk from the car to the supermarket and when you get there you have to lean on the trolley to get around. Zero drop shoes yes but make sure they have plenty of cushioning.
