| They look light enough to fix easy in a pack if you did want to wear other shoes for the hiking part of a trip? |

When I purchased mine there were no distributors and only one model (what they now call the classic), I bought direct from Vibram. I think the straps on the "Sprint" model will help. |

I wore them again yesterday and I'm really beginning to love these "Soles" :nod: |

|
|
| FWIW: I was to go out with my son Brandon climbing on Christmas Day. He never showed up at 11AM, so I decided to slip on my Fivefingers and head out to the multi-pitch "Wagasa" and check it out on my own. It is about 1 mile in over sand and rocks. Shoes performed very well. I got on the first pitch and the shoes climbed 5.7 flawlessly! Came down and headed home. Decided that I hadn't had enough trial yet. so headed up Red Mountain out of Ivins. The shoes once again were a delight as I scrambled up the 1500' vertical/ 1 mile talus hill. I have to admit that my feet were a bit sore when i got back to the car, but I think with time my feet will come to like this footwear very much! |

Glad you got to get out. Dang teens!
I am anxious to try some of those new shoes. I do like to be barefoot or as close as I can get. :five: |

I really think you'll like them a lot Tanya! I'm not a "barefoot" type person as you know, but I really do enjoy this "strap on sole" that is really close to being barefoot. I hope to do a lot more hiking with them and see if I can be more comfortable with longer and longer hikes! |
