That's weird. I'd just buy them from ebay. The other sites are ripping you off.

Well I checked the UK Amazon and official UK Vibram site and if my dollar to pound conversion is correct, they're selling it for about twice the price I got them for here in the states. I don't know anything about Saucony Hattoris.

I would be careful on ebay because there many fake ones being sold.
Here is a great website that can answer all your questions.

So which ones if any are the best for running? And are there any problems with shoes?
Thank you
I also tried their Bikilas, which is their running specific shoe, I really liked them. Soles are not too thick and not too thin either.
I have the KSO's. Which is their most popular model. It's like their multi-purpose shoe. I like 'em. The longest I've ran in 'em was close to two miles and my left foot started to hurt(more on this later). But, having tried their Bikilas, I definitely think that I could go run longer distances on the Bikilas compared to the KSO's because it has a thicker sole and the way the soles are molded it's more suited for running.
Now, back to why my left foot started to hurt when I jogged for about 2 miles. So, I started to feel this aching on my left foot during my run. I stopped running and walked back to my car. I took my shoe and looked down on my foot, and BAM, I see three f**kin' blisters. There was three on my arch and one under my big toe.
The problem was my KSO's were too tight on me, it wasn't so much that I bought the wrong size, it's due to the fact that I have wide feet.
But, if I would've bought the next size up, it would've been too long. So, either way, I think I would've developed blisters, it's either too tight width wise, or it would've been too long length wise.
In my case, there is no perfect size. But, they say that in order for anyone to benefit from the Vibram's, the shoes are suppose to fit like a glove. But, that's the problem though, not every person has the same exact length/shape foot. Unless, it's custom made. I guess if any of the Vibram's fit your foot like a glove, then you're just one lucky person.
Bottom line, I like 'em, I still wear mine, I just don't walk in them for too long and I don't run in them anymore. It's just too bad their sizing isn't exact for the length and width of my foot. Good luck to you. I suggest you try 'em out.Last edited by Monte Fisto; 07-11-2011, 11:13 PM.
