I got back to the UK to find that I too had gotten a size too large - but I kept my pair anyway and spent a week walking around in them to get use to them (the 1/4" gap at the heal hasn't made much difference because as Colin say's you walk/run on the ball of the foot in them so your foot doesn't slop about much). I finally went for a 4km run in them the other day on the road and whilst I agree with your experiences I have to caution others that I have had stiff calves for 2 days now; 4km was a bit too far for a first outing. To give this context I normally run 16km 2 or 3 times a week but clearly I have come to rely on shoe-tech too much ;-) and would urge others to try these shoes but like Colin advises you should take it slow and build up. The feeling id great; happy running! I heard about the Vibram5F on the Phedippidations podcast and managed to pick up a pair on a trip to NY,NY 2 weeks ago.
