Looky looky what I received in my inbox from a kind lady at Terra Plana (click for full size):
These look great and, whilst not as quirky or as outrageously different as the Vibram Five Fingers, I think the VVFs may be in for quite a challenge. The proof will be in the testing when we can all finally get our hands on these early next year. I'll be particularly interested in how they feel, wear and how well they cope in the one environment where VVFs don't do too well: the cold and wet of winter.
If you take a look at these individual shoe images, you'll see they look a lot like, though not identical to this picture that appeared on Twitpics not too long ago...
Time to get saving: I might have to treat myself to a pair of these for a belated birthday present next year.
Certainly worth a try, tho I'm loving my fivefingers at the moment!
Am thinking of doing the Paris half marathon in march 2009 if u are interested?

I'm loving my Vibrams too, but I they're going to be due a renewal sometime soon.
I'm not sure I'm ready for a half marathon in March, though I suppose a goal would help - it is 6 months away
What fivefingers have u got again?
I'd love to do the Paris run in mine so want a goal for training. Reservations are open now so send me an e-mail and I can send u the link.e
I've got the Classics.
Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I can substantiate leaving my wife and newly born baby (due in late Jan) to pop over to France for a quick run just yet. I think I'm going to have to pick a local half for my first in Vibrams.
...nimalist shoes we use weren't originally designed with barefoot running in mind). I gave everyone a sneak peak before and now they're finally available to buy. I've not put in my order yet as I'm still debating...
