bump (sorry)

The interwebs tell me that:

1. Long slow runs reduce testosterone

2. Short fast runs increase testosterone

I believe both, but is there any evidence/research/pponline citing pace rather than mileage in terms of a tipping point?

I stand corrected.  Just checked

here and here  mine have a slightly shiny strap and silky upper surface, and i think the strap should be a different colour. (otherwise the counterfeiters have done a convincing job).  Bummer.

Yeah it crossed my mind but until i see some genuine ones i dunno.  The materials seem pretty durable, but again without me testing em out i can't tell.

 One other thing i don't understand with VFF: why would separate toe boxes emulate barefoot running more than say plimsols?  Or Nike Free?

Nah there's a seller on ebay doing them for about that but they're from HK, and i can't be bothered to post them back there.  I imagine some fake VFFs would look pretty bad lol.

Just got my Black./grey KSOs in the post this morning and they're a tad too small for my "irregular" foot.  Male size 41, £40 inc UK postage, anyone a buyer? 

New, boxed bargain.
