I wrote to the UK outlet this afternoon, explaining I like to run off-road and describing the terrain and distances (5 to 20 miles).
Here's what I got back:
Hi Ash
The Fivefinger KSO's would definitely be the shoes for you.
With regards to running barefoot is best to start of very slow and gradually increase the intensity of training. If you are not used to being barefoot it is best to start of with walking in the shoes just in your everyday life (if possible) and then start with small distances at a slowish pace to get the foot conditioned, you will then be able to build up to full running over time and reap the benefits of barefoot gait.
Let me know if you have any further queries
Kind Regards

OK, in for a penny ... I'm going to track down a pair this week and start with a few mini-plods on the fields behind my house.
Ideal advice from Mike there; I'm almost back to square one with my running anyway; no better time to give this a whirl.
Stand by for earth-shaking laughter in the East Sussex area ...
