The Vibram FiveFingers Men's Bikila LS offers a closed speed lace system to accommodate a wider foot or higher instep. It shares the same revolutionary platform as the Bikila, featuring a Dri-Lex covered 3mm polyurethane insole (thickest under the ball) and a 4mm anatomical pod outsole design. This combination provides superior plating protection and distributes forefoot impact without compromising essential ground feedback. The Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS’ upper is constructed of Coconut Active Carbon for natural breathability. An athletic padded collar and topline, 3M reflective surfaces, and abrasion resistant PU toe protection add to Bikila LS’ road worthy design. The defining feature of the Bikila LS’ is its closed quick lace system assuring a custom fit for a wider range of foot types

Which Vibram FiveFingers Bikila running shoe is right for you? Comparing the Bikila & Bikila LS
"For those of us with regular, “average feet,” which Vibram FiveFingers Bikila is the right choice? Is the Bikila LS a specialty model for particular foot types, or do the laces represent an across-the-board upgrade from the Bikila? For runners transitioning from traditional running shoes, laces are certainly familiar, but are they a benefit? ..."
Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS lace-up barefoot running shoes have arrived!
"Runners asked for a lace-up model, and Vibram has responded with exactly that. The shoe builds upon the original ground-breaking design of the Vibram FiveFingers Bikila, introduced last year as the company’s first model built specifically for barefoot running; 'for a more natural running experience,' as the company’s own website states the matter..."

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Men's):
I use these to run/workout at the gym, walk on everyday treks with my son, and outdoor running.
I have multiple sets of Five Fingers and absolutely love them. These feel more padded and a tad wider than my other sets but they are very comfortable.

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Men's):
This was my first pair of Vibram. Now I'm sold on them. Ended up getting some socks as well and fit is perfect with or without them. Rock Creek has the best price around and shipping was super fast.

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Men's):
Fantastic shoe that allows freedom of movement of toes. Takes some getting used to walking around with minimal protection to simulate the barefoot experience. Recommend taking some time getting used to walking around in the Bikila before attempting a full on marathon.

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Men's):
I wear a 42 in the original Bikila, but a 42 in the LS was too small. I returned my 42 for a 43, and they fit perfectly. This is my third pair of FiveFingers, and I will continue to buy them. My knees feel great when I run in them as opposed to how they feel when I run in traditional running shoes.

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Men's):
I'm using the vibram bikilas to run distances ranging 5 to 10 kilometers to improve my running form. They feel great when walking and running, and they make my feet work in a more natural fashion. They are super light and create the illusion of being barefoot.

I have flat feet, so most shoes hurt. These shoes let my feet be themselves and don't force them into uncomfortable positions. Extremely pleased!

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Men's):
I was deeply impressed with Rock/Creek. I was not familiar with the company but found them by using a search engine for a specific shoe model. I found the prices comparable or better than [@], and the shipping was free and next day for my purchase. I find they often offer discounts, coupons and free shipping. Next time I need some athletic gear, I will definitely go to Rock/Creek!
