    Bought them online.
    No Irish retailer than I am aware of.

    I haven't used them enough to pass judgement, but they do fit!

    Where did u buy them? What was the cost? See them online but EUR 90 seems a bit excessive for what they are!!

    I was expecting this thread after I saw the article in Times this morning.

    They do have a size guide on the website which matches ur size to a length measurment. I'd be interested to hear of anyone who has them and what they think. Even looking at UK prices yu'll probably be looking at best part of EUR100.

    I might take wander up to Great outdoors seee do they have them.

    Its just a small one about running in bare feet, and how you can get close to it using Fivefingers

    I don't believe for a minute Dublin is worse than anywhere else to run barefoot -- but that just me.

    Here's a noter thread with some more links. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055419148&highlight=barefoot

    I'm definately going to start doing some barefoot in December to see if I can't strengthen my arches.. Just 1/2 miles per week I guess till I start felling better not really sure will see how things pan out.

    I bought mine on the Naked Ape: www.nakedape.uk.com

    Very happy with delivery time and overall service and liking the Vibrams so far, nice ride although you have to take your foot placement more seriously especially when running over trails with a lot of medium-sized rocks.
