The KSO has a snug fit, one of our most minimal sole constructions for maximum ground feel, and a breathable, quick drying upper. The KSO also features a thin, abrasion resistant stretch polyamide and breathable stretch mesh that wraps your entire foot to do just that. A single hook-and-loop closure helps secure the fit.

  • Super comfortable foot gloves for the adventurer
Size: 8-8.5 Color: Black/Black
The KSO is back! I've worn toe shoes for 9 years now. Vibram didn’t make this model for a couple years and replaced it with a too-complex thing, good riddance. For “foot gloves” this is about perfect. I took these babies to Australia for 2 weeks: for the airplane rides, about 7 miles/day city walking, all day hikes, kayaking, and 5 mile treadmill runs, they performed beautifully. Traction, comfort, and foot control mattered and I would not have worn anything else. Sticky grip sole. Strong, simple Velcro closure. Flexible thin design perfect for picking my way across rocks. The yellow liner bled onto my grey Injinji socks, that's the only downside that I don’t recall with the old ones. Washed them in the clothes washer / dryer before the return flight and they came out looking new. I'd give them six stars if I could. ... show more

  • Great traction especially for indoor use
Size: 6.5-7 Color: Black/Black
I wanted something that felt like bare foot but allowed enough traction to train on slippery surfaces such as hardwood floor and marble floor. I train in boxing and Mauy Thai and though boxing shoes are great, they don’t offer much ankle mobility. These shoes offer amazing traction for indoors, in fact a little too much to a point where you really have to be light on your foot when pivoting. The fit was great, not too snug not too loose. There was a little bit of separation on the stitching and glue between the toes and I tend to violently pivot when doing foot work or twisting into my cross and roundhouses. But nothing too alarming. The shoes are still in tack and will only be used for indoors when I’m traveling to a gym that only has slippery surfaces or a shoe only policy. ... show more

  • Durable. Almost barefoot experience, but not for everyone.
Size: 8.5-9 Color: Black/Black
TLDR; Durable; only for those committed to re-naturalizing their gait and getting rid of pains and injuries of high-intensity mid-distance running; not suitable for running or hiking on gravel, small stones, or twigs of approx. 1cm diameter. These are minimalist shoes for a nearly barefoot walking and running experience. Please order this only if you are ready for that and the associated changes in your running gait and ground surface selection. If that is what you want, then you will not be disappointed. I have used them somewhat regularly for running on road, sidewalk, grass, and trails for two months, and they are holding up fine. Pros: 1. Nearly barefoot (natural) walking and running experience. 2. Gradual strengthening of the feet and elimination of injuries associated with running. I had given up running due to pains before I discovered flex-foot running. 3. Potential reduction in post-run pains and downtime. 4. Durable. 5. Shoes take minimal packing space. 6. Look cool. Cons: 1. Need special socks with separated toes. 2. Uncomfortable on gravel or twigs that are about 1/2" (1cm) in diameter. 3. Will get wet from the inside in shallow puddles and waterlogged grass. 4. Not suitable for sports such as soccer, as your toes can get twisted. 5. Strands of dandelions and small twigs get stuck between the toes. 6. Look dorky. Here are some changes you would want to make in your outdoor excursions with these shoes on: 1. Learn to run with a forefoot strike: That is the precise behavioral change that this shoe is meant to promote. Humans have forgotten their natural gait developed over millions of years of evolution ever since we started wearing shoes with heel support, motion control, and whatnot. I have a severe flatfoot, and I over-pronate. Yet, I had no problem switching my gait, first using Nike Free, and then graduating to Vibram FiveFingers. Strive to make sure that your heels do not touch the ground. Try imagining that you are lightly grabbing the ground with your toes and the ball of your feet as you land and push off. 2. Start gradually: I started with running 1 mile every two days, and then built it up to 5 miles every two days over a few months. I recommend not running long distance in the beginning, and striving to make sure that your heel does not touch the ground. 3. Choose surfaces a little carefully: If you are like me who did not grow up running barefoot, you will find it very uncomfortable to run on medium-sized gravel (1cm or 1/2"). You will feel poked, although the shoes will probably hold up fine. Also, avoid hiking on such surfaces. I took the shoes for such an "adventure" and regretted it, although your feet feel fine with a night's rest. In terms of comfort, grass > sand > road > trail without gravel > sidewalk > trail with gravel > gravel. The last two are not recommended until you are comfortable in the strength of your feet. Running on grass with these shoes on is very enjoyable, and you realize what your feet were naturally meant to do. Running on road is also a good experience, provided you have mastered keeping your heels in the air. You realize that your feet are your natural shock absorbers, and do a good job of it. Also, try to avoid even very shallow puddles or waterlogged grass, if you feel icky when your feet get wet outdoors while running, because even very shallow water will get into these shoes. ... show more

  • Ahhh... KSO's! One of my favorite shoes....
Size: 9.5-10 Color: Black/Black
Just like my original KSO's I started with some 6 or so years ago when I went to minimalist shoes. These are intended to fit more like a glove on your foot than a shoe, so they need to be "snug" (not tight, there is a difference)- so you want to follow Vibram's sizing guidelines on their website, folks. As an aside, this is less a shoe for someone trying to start out with barefoot experience shoes, not that you shouldn't buy if your in this case- just expect about a 5-6 month period of building up to this being your, "daily driver" shoe if you're new to these. ... show more

  • Size advice for those with high arches
Size: 10.5-11 Color: Black/Black
These are my fourth pair of VFF shoes, and I love them. I'm no runner, but I walk miles with no aches and pains, I guess because I'm a habitual barefooter and only wear shoes of any kind when absolutely necessary. (Client meetings, riding a motorcycle, posh restaurants, places with a no shoes; no shirt; no service policy...) These are size M44 that are a tight fit on my feet because of very high arches, but as the uppers stretch this is not a problem. The fastening strap that goes around the heel is a huge bonus as it holds the shoe firmly in place. The soles are smoother than those on the the now discontinued leather KSO Trek, but that aside these are very similar in construction. Some users might benefit from a slightly larger size than Vibram's size charts suggest (especially those who have very wide or high feet) and if so, the heel strap is very effective at keeping toes properly in their pockets. My other VFFs are M45, and are slightly large especially after stretching with use. ... show more

  • Hurt my calf tendonitis
Size: 10.5-11 Color: Black/Black
I soooo wanted to like these. After reading about Barefoot Ted in "Born to Run" I had to try these out. Unfortunately, these agravated an old (8 year ago) tennis injury I had on the outside head of one calf so bad i couldn't run (in regular shoes) for a while. As a chi runner who runs marathons, i thought I had very strong calves that could handle the vibrums, but appartently not. Even walking in these is apt to inflame my old injury unlike anything else. ... show more
