I purchased the Vibram Fivefinger Bikila LS (Black/Green) from Footwear Headquarters via Amazon. I used standard shipping but was very pleased to see the footwear arrive in a few days. Everything was properly packaged and professionally handled. I desired to return to outdoor running and the Bikila LS (LS stands for lace system) have been a great solution. I also own a pair of the Fivefinger sprint. Those were fine for the treadmill and getting around town but uncomfortable for outdoor running as striking small rocks could be painful. Although only slightly thicker soles the Bikila LS is very comfortable on blacktop. The shoes have been a great improvement over my basic Vibram five fingers and as all Fivefinger they spread the work load across the whole leg giving you a solid feel for running. I normally do not care for a pull lace system but I highly recommend it on this model. Generally I don't tighten these much and the comfort and secure fit is excellent. I prefer the padding around the foot on this model and the grip sole.  Excellent overall experience and I will buy another pair at the end of the year just in case this model gets discontinued later.
