My VFFs arrived yesterday. They are not as comfortable as barefoot, except for the skin-vs.-surface interface (but hopefully I'll get tougher soon). What really surprised me is that I feel the little ridge under the ball of the foot. In fact, it lies right where I land. If you picture the ball of the foot as an oval shape, it's that edge which is closest to the heel.
Has anyone else noticed this or been bothered by it?
Thanks.
Barefoot and happy

I've noticed this, too! I just got a pair of KSOs. The left one feels fine, but I do feel a ridge under the right one. I thought maybe the right one had a minor defect, or maybe the anatomy of my right foot is just slightly different from my left, so that I experience the fit of the KSOs differently.
I'm planning to just see if I get used to it. These are size 43 KSOs; I tried the 42s first but they were snug to the point of feeling kind of uncomfortable. The 43s might be slightly large for me--there is definitely a bit of space in the toe pockets.
