While watching the videos I did have one practical idea of what one might be able to do with them – jelly moulds!  Lets face all the barefoot runners have birthdays like everyone else, what more geeky way to celebrate than a foot shaped jelly ;-)

I also can’t wait for the Inov-8 233 review as I’ve been thinking of getting a pair, but wanted a reliable review first.

Number 1 comment, as it was obvious, sweat. I figured that it was the moisture problem that they were working on that was taking so long for these to become available, clearly not. And according to the first video review above, they are not even stable – stretching around like, well, silicon. I run both barefoot and in VFFs and have for the last two years. I would never purchase these – it’s a bad idea – Inov-8 should cut their losses and terminate this product before it costs them even more.

I just can’t take them seriously.
