Huh what did you get for RM250?!
Even the Classic cost US$75, lets say we go by the exchange rate 3.3, then it RM247.50.

My Treksport I got it for RM469. US price is US$100, going by that exchange rate, yeah it should only cost RM330. If I'm going to ship it back on my own, most probably another RM60-80 for shipping cost Thus around RM400 I would say. So I don't think the price of RM469 is that "expensive" considering I don't have to order myself fearing the size and cutting as well as waiting for a week for it to arrive.

Maybe if I am to travel down to Singapore, will probably get it cheaper. But then again, travelling cost?...  hmm.gif

Whoever getting the RM250 deal on KSO for sure is getting the fake one. The fake one is 95% identical to real one, why I know, cause I am the victim. But should functionally the same. I from reliable source running feel is the same. Of course I don expect it to last but still holidng well until now.

Cheap thing aint real, real thing aint cheap for VFF. smile.gif

Hi all!

Running has been my primary form of exercise for many years, and recently I started having what I suspect is shin splints.

So I'm going to try out this VFF to see if my shin splints gets better.

Any of you know which store carries the most selection and choice of VFF? Is it Lafuma Bangsar, Running Lab Tropicana Mall or Celebrities Fitness?

Hi...

Er... mind you, VFF is not cheap cost about RM400++ to RM500 if you get from SG and managed claims 7% GST refund.

A simple solution would be running barefoot of soft ground like field in park, beaches...
You can try jog slowly on the field, on the grass to try out how's your running feel and ur shin splints.

If this show improvement over time, then you might consider getting VFF to run on road and farer... .

this just my 2cents.

Yes, you're right. Totally agree with you. It's quite a significant investment.

I did not decide to buy VFF overnight. I have started running with those minimalist shoe made for water sports, where it doesn't have thick sole like normal running shoe.

Because of the thin sole, I had to change my running techniques and my shin splint pain actually starting to disappear gradually.

But I started getting blisters between my toes, because those water sport shoe wraps around your toes quite tightly.

So I finally decide to get VFF. Although its expensive it will be worth it for me as running is my primary form of exercise.

Because it is so expensive, I want to make sure that I will be getting the right model. That is why I like to know which store carries the most model for me to test it out.

Glad to see you been into running and know what's you are getting.

Bikila - specific design for running.

KSO - lot of runners use this before Bikila is born.

Now, Komondo - new improved model from KSO.

I have friend get the VFF from US store under RM300, as you know VFF did not ship outside USA, thus he using 3rd party forwarder services which uses US address and from there ship back to Msia.

It's up to individual on which channel to get VFF.

anyway, no comment on your mentioned stores in KL.

when i called, they quote me around RM400++.

can't say if fake or not...if colors is diff from Vibram website, probably fake. if you have high in heel, probably best to take LS type VFF.
