But you like the bikilas better than the KSOs? Sprints are a fav because they’re so thin.

Any ideawhere bikilas are sold? Site says in store, but c’mon…they’re never in stock. Thx for thehelp!

Probably not from me, but I arranged one by a friend that should be
posted on the dailymile community blog soon.

Tyler,

I don’t won the Sprints, so can’t comment on that. You may want to check
with Matt at Run Luau Run – I think he has all three: http://runluaurun.com/

I’m curious, as I own KSOs and Treks (for rocky trails). How does the bottom structure compare?

I haven’t had any issues with blistering in Bikilas. They are the same
size, but fit in Bikilas is more snug so less friction between fabric
and skin.

Is this a mirage from the toe spring or is there a bit more room for us Morton Toers?

Any chance of you doing a review on the new Bikila LS?

Thanks,

NS

The different rubber compounds and ‘toe spring’ you refer to, in my mind, detract from the original purpose of the shoes.

I am however reserving judgment until I have seen a pair for myself (and read more reviews) but if they help another few runners take the leap from the dreadful, over engineered, running shoes of today to a more natural and inspired way of running then it will be a job well done.

It looks backwards to me, but I haven’t been able to try on a pair yet.

It’s a mirage.
