If I may ask, what shoe were you using before that and what sort of problems made you switch? How long did it take to get used to the Vibrams? I have a flat foot (over-pronator) and am using stability shoes along with specially made orthotics. For the past five years I have been experiencing different levels of pain in my left shin. Nothing helped (changing shoes, orthotics). Now I'm trying barefoot running. Very low mileage for now and lots of strengthening exercises. Will report positive results - if any.
