The Bikila LS was designed for the bigger/wider feet. It has the same soles as the regular Bikilas, but with speed laces. I tried on both models and the LS fit a lot more snug. I ran 5k on the first day, calves were a little sore afterwards. They feel pretty much like my KSO's. I'm a true believer in forefoot running. Ever since switching running styles, my hip, lower-back, knee pains have disappeared. The only injuries I get are usually from over-use and over-training related. If your new to Vibrams, start light and add mileage slowly. I can't stress this enough.
