The 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 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

"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 (Women's):
I wear my VFF's all the time. I walk in them, jog in them, bike in them, shop in them...they are my everyday shoe.
This is my third pair of vibram's (also have komodo ls & kso's) and I have found that I much prefer the ls to the velcro shoes. They are easier to put on and just feel better to my feet.
I also prefer the slightly thicker soul and better traction to the kso's. I chose the Bikila because I first owned the komodos and loved almost all of them except where the colors joined between two toes. The bikila's looked very similar, minus the color change between the toes, and so far I have been very pleased! However, just like any of the other vibrams' I have owned, this pair has a rub spot which needs broken in, but once they are, they will be perfect for me!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Women's):
This is my third fivefinger pair and I absolute love it! I have the classic smartwool and the sprint, and this one provides the best support and fits the best. It is a little bit more hard to get on than the classic and sprint, but still worth the struggle. I tried the normal Bikila with the velcro strap and it did not fit as well as the LS. The sizing is different from all the other types so make sure to check the sizing chart.
Pros
Cons
Best Uses
- Trail running
Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Women's):
I trail run 3 miles every other day. I have never used anything but regular running shoes. I had to learn to run more gingerly and mindful and land on the ball of my foot, not my heal. Once I got over the inital pain of new and very sore calve muscles, I had no pain. In fact, I used to have hip pain, but don't any longer. I wear these everytime I run and I'm really happy with them. I'm 33 and very physically fit and do yoga too, so not sure how these would work for a beginner with bad form. Also, when they start to stink I just toss them in the wash.
Pros
- Easy to clean
- Great grip
- Light Weight
Cons
- Get really smelly
- Heavy objects hurt toes
Best Uses
- Circut workouts
- Hiking
- Pilates
- Running
- Yoga

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Women's):
These are my favorite Vibrams and I one 5 pair. They are the easiest to slip on, they are not so tight in the ankle, and you can wear them all day. Very comfortable. Only downside is they are not snug like my KSOs so you do get sand and small grit in your shoe. But for the comfort, style and ease to slip on, I can live with that.
Pros
- I don't even feel them on
- So comfortable
- They fit like a glove
Cons
Best Uses
- Everyday wear
Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Bikila LS (Women's):
The most comfortable my feet have ever been! I wear them from early Spring to late Winter. Haven't ventured out in the snow with them yet since I'm not a winter person. Wouldn't trade them for anything except another pair. I own 5 pairs already! Nuff said.
