I had a hard time finding vibram bikila's in my size.  

Seems these guys have all sizes in stock, yet not a single other online retailer or local store has them.

http://www.mountsport.com/

Just put in an order today for some 42's.  The models they carry are euro models though so not all color schemes and models are available.

mrs gearboy had to go directly through vibram for her size.  No on-line retailers had her size in stock.  She gets a lot of use out of them, though.

Is MountSport legit? I know there are some counterfitters out there.

I guess i'll find out soon.  I figured the counterfitters were mainly on ebay and selling from hongkong.  This place must be euro cause they have the speed, which is not available in U.S. market.

I agree that Vibram's website usually has the best selection.  They keep it updated frequently throughout the day.  Right now they have several colors in size 42 available.  I also found City Sports carries a good selection both online and in store.  Eastern Mountain Sports is another great retailer that has the five fingers.

Just from comparing their stuff to the Vibram website, I'm pretty sure they're fakes.  The quality of construction of the shoes on that site appears to me to be less than the actual Vibram stuff.  Compare the soles of the blue camo KSO's--there's a noticeable difference there.  Also some of the colors have a blue or other color Vibram logo--I've never seen it in anything other than yellow.  They are selling them at a discount too, which I don't think legitimate retailers do.

Also, if you don't even know who they are or where they are located, why would you send your hard earned money off to them? 

I know I wouldn't buy them.

I have no idea whether these are legit or not but as others have said, trying to find a pair of VFF in stock is incredibly difficult!  There are a huge HUGE amount of fake knock offs kicking about out there so do be careful!
