Regarding the fit of the Trek, they fit much looser than other VFF products, which allows them to work really well with socks. There are absolutely no tight spots anywhere around my feet. That being said, I have experienced hotspots on the bottoms of my feet,
miu miu handbags sale in uk, specifically the bottoms of my big toes, because the shoes do move around a bit while running on rugged terrain and the friction of repetitive slipping inside the big toe pockets eventually leads to a blister. This is probably a question of my toes being too small for the big toe pockets and would probably not affect everyone. The VFF design is made in such a way as to accommodate as many foot shapes as possible and this is one aspect of my feet not being ‘average’ in this dimension. Despite the hotspots, I still love the comfort of these shoes. I appreciate the extra room because of the activities that I do in these shoes,
miu miu bags collection, specifically a lot of trail running,

Regarding the feel of the Trek against my skin,
miu miu handbags online uk, the leather footbed and sock liner inside the upper feel soft and practically seam-free. Although my hands can feel seams on the inside of the upper, specifically within the toe pockets,
new miu miu bags, my feet definitely do not. I do wear socks for the most part when I run with the Treks, though, and have not spent much time in them sockless.
Weight
Each size W39 Trek weighs just under 5 ounces,
latest miu miu bags, or 140 grams. Although this is the heaviest of the VFFs that I own,

cross body designer bags, I do not feel the weight of these shoes on my feet.
Flex / Sole
The sole is comprised of a 4 mm EVA midsole, which offers plating protection from stone bruising, and a 4 mm Vibram performance rubber outsole with considerable lugs (for a minimalist shoe) to improve traction on rugged terrain. Although it is not as flexible as the KSO and other VFF models’ soles,
new miu miu bags, it is still quite flexible when bent in any direction. The total 8 mm sole is the thickest sole I’ve tried on a minimalist shoe but considering the rocky terrain that I’ve run on with them,
miu miu spring summer 2011 handbags, I do not have a problem with the thickness in the least. I have experienced stone bruising while running on trails in my KSOs and after running on the same trails and gravel roads in the Treks, I have never experienced a similar problem. The 4 mm midsole definitely does its job protecting the foot arch from stone bruising.
I must admit that the first time I tried the Treks on,
