So this is my first time going a fair distance with these and certainly won't be my last, the pair I got was the vibram sprint mostly because the store I went to to get these only had those, but none the less they felt great. First thing I did before I went for walk and run of a total of seven miles was that I wore them for two hours walking and sometimes running in the house, mostly because I liked them so much that I couldn't take them off. So after that I started off at a walking pace then I went to a run and back to a walk, the awesome thing was that I didn't get tired of wearing them like my other running shoes which were way more cushioned. My favorite part of this though was that I could feel the ground and that made the walk/run way more fun and enjoyable to me which wouldn't have happened with my other shoes. Just to let you know though, I haven't run or walked this distance ever so obviously I'm going to be a bit sore, but I guess this is a good start. Even though I felt sore after the walk/run I did, the soreness felt awesome and I never thought I would ever say that about soreness. So overall my first time with these were a great experience and would definitely go for another walk/run, not only that but also won't be going back to my old shoes.
