They lasted me a good 600km before I ran them to the ground. I did think about going barefoot like you are but there are worse things than sharp rocks to worry about when the feet goes nude on the ground. I'm happy that another person found the joy in the weird shoes like I did! @Victoria: I love my KSOs! They lasted me a good 600km before I ran them to the ground.

Not sure if it's thick enough for long distance walking. Maybe other brands like Merrell might have better solutions. @Victoria: The trail types like the trek is slightly thicker I believe.

Would be great if they could make some for walking! maybe extra padding on the heel? or have they already?

I let my feet adjust to the change and built up my running and now I actually enjoy running whereas before it felt like such a task. My feet also used to pronate inwards so I had asics that extra arch support but I don't have that problem anymore and if I do where my asics at all (which I don't any more) they actaully hurt my feet. I have just bought another pair yesterday -classic's to walk around in and run as I did notice the other day that the rubber as gotten a bit thin and I felt the sharp stones a bit more (but running on grass was still sweet), so it was time for some new ones and I also want to get some treks (for the trials)once I can afford some more as they aren't cheap (but in saying that they last longer than regular shoes). My goal next year is to go barefoot (or in vibrams) as much as I can even if I get funny looks and a bit of stick about the not so attractive shoes. I will blog about it, I think i might have it's challanges.

Sorry for the delay in reply. I thought about your question for a bit and while I do a lot of walking in the VFFs on a daily basis, I think a shoe with some cushioning might be better for long distance walking. Unlike running/jogging with allows us to land on the forefoot, walking actually makes us land on the heel. I think that this might cause some discomfort if the distance is a long one. Hi Serene!

I hope you are having fun with it! Go easy with the transition though. Don't fall into the same trap as me and getting injured. Hi KK Chan! I hope you are having fun with it!

Will this work as well for long distance walking? I will be traveling (backpacking) soon and will need a pair of good shoes. I have thalassemia which also caused my legs to be swollen and painful after prolong walking. Do you think this is suitable for me? thanks in advance for your help. Just 1 question.

About 4 months ago I purchased the Bikila's and will absolutely never go back. I have never been a big fan of running, although i've done it most of my life for fitness reasons, and these shoes have really changed the way I view the sport. I actually enjoy running with these shoes and have begun to train for my first 10K with plans to complete my first tri in a few months. Highly recommend these shoes if anyone is not already convinced from all the positive posts above! Huge fan of these shoes.
