I just ordered one of those leather kits to try out. It seemed a lot cheaper and more utilitarian than gambling on those Five Fingers' fitting me perfectly. I like sandals with that Spartan look anyway, so chances are (unless I totally fuck up the construction) that I'll wear them a lot even if it's not for running.
JStrider - I wonder if you can tie them a different way somehow to get them to stay on better? Or maybe just pulling them tighter and letting the tops and sides of your feet chafe for a while until they grow tougher skin where they rub? I may be having your same problem in a couple of weeks when I get mine, so I'm just trying to stay ahead of the game with some ideas for fixes.
