With a new lacing system and extra padding in high-impact areas, Vibram's Bikila LS shoes are great for serious runners. The Bikila LS, is designed specifically for the barefoot runner. Named after Abebe Bikila, who ran barefoot and took the gold medal in the marathon in the 1960 Olympics, the Bikila LS sports a few features added specifically for distance runners. The outsole is beefed up with extra padding on high-impact areas like the heel and forefoot to soften the impact of running on concrete, and Vibram has added cushioning in the cuff and the shoe's topline to reduce irritation and pressure on longer runs. A drawstring closure secures the shoe, which is a distinct departure from the Velcro closures on every other FiveFinger shoe. It makes a big difference — the shoe's cuff opens up wider for easier entry, and the lacing draws the middle of the shoe up around the midfoot.
